Hey OzCabincrew,
A very good point, about not letting it get to our heads. I think we all know what a flight attendant looks like when they let their job get to their head. And now having gone through the interview process and been selected, I think back to some of the questions and wonder how some got in with their attitude. Oh well not to worry, I think I will hold on to this feeling every day I get to fly.
As far as your question about the ref checks on the East Coast, mine were checked 2 wks prior to the call I got that I was successful. I know of a few other East coaster's who had refs checked around the same time and yet have been left waiting still. So not sure how it all works to be honest.
I'm surprised none of the MEL guys who started training yesterday didn't post how their first day went. I guess they were exhausted and overloaded after day 1.
Again, to anyone who has not heard yet. I wish you luck and the virtue of good patience.
Cheers,
