Smile Not happy Jan

Hi there

This is my very 1st posting

I have been reading for ages and always thought that is all I would ever do but have read with great interest all your comments and think WELL maybe these great [mainly FABULOUS] group of Crew and wantAbees with and without wings could help me.

1st Not Happy Jan

I wish I was you I know that’s easy for me to say as I have never been fortunate enough to actually get my wings, have been on the short list a couple of times, once just before pilots dispute then again just before AN fell over.

Having work in the Industry for 14 years I do feel for you, you are either an AIRLINE person or not there are unfortunately a lot of F/A’s and Ground Staff alike who HATE the job and should leave, but love the money and travel benefits so never will they make it hard for those of us that still believe that the Airline industry is ONE of SERVICE.
Unfortunately my job was taken from me along with about 16000 others, I am a lot older than most wanting to fly BUT I do and I will keep trying until my zimmer frame won't fit down the aisle as I believe people that have worked in this specialize industry know it is NOT a JOB but a way of life. They become your family as you are often with them in some of the most exciting & fun times of your life but they are also there is many of the saddest and worst times as well.

Hang in there baby, give it a go
If you are completely new to the industry then be awhere there will be a huge adjustment period for you and in 6 months if you still hate it THEN revaluate & see what YOU want to do.

Follow Your heart, oh and if you do decide to resign let me know and you can give them my name and address, tell them I will be there tomorrow.

Nite Nite
