JulieFlyGal,
Its been 3 years since I got my first airline job, and getting your uniform I thought, was a special day.
We did not have a ceremony, however, it was like being a kid in a sweet shop, knowing after all those years of hard work, you were finally going to put on that uniform and fly aeroplanes for a living. One comment that was made, was if you can still get into those trousers in 1 years time you are not eating enough crew food
. Dam I hate the gym
.
Another proud moment is walking upto the aircraft in that new uniform and doing your first line flight. It is great, you can actually walk through the door, turn left walk through another door and take your seat, on the right of course. The amount of times I used to shoe horn myself into a C152 while teaching, well walking into the flight deck was a real novelty!
Anyway, I thought I would share that with you. All the best with your training, it really is worth it when you achieve your goals
