Those who lost jobs...

[sweety]

Sadly I'm about to lose my job as a CC. Doesn't take much to guess why. Thank you, terrorism...NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So nothing much I can do, I'll have to face it!

Question to those who lost their jobs already. What are you doing now? What other job could I do which would be similary exiting, interesting and colourful? I'm just confused..

:confused:
Please suggest something as my mind doesn't want think at the moment. That will be much appreciated! :)

Sweety, I feel for you because I'm in the same situation as you. At the moment, I'm just sending my CV out to a load of agencies, and seeing what I can find. I agree, finding something as varied as this is going to be difficult, so at the moment, I'm looking for customer service on the ground. I think that it will take a while to get used to working "normal" hours though!!!
Best of luck to you and everybody else who is out there looking at the moment.

These stories and others to come are heart wrenching to hear as this is just the tip of the iceburg. All those laid off will be competing against each other for the vacancies that do arise

"Please suggest something as my mind doesn't want think at the moment"

Send me an e-mail @ [email protected] and i may be in a position to suggest a way forward.

I must admit I,ve put some thought into this just in case it happens to me, and the conclusion I,ve come to is that I,m going to have to try and get a job that keeps me moving about,as I,ve never had a 9-5.
So this might not be everbodys cup of tea I know,I,m going to work for Eurostar as a train drver.
Just a thought,and it might work for you.
Good Luck.

If anyone who has lost their job due to circumstances beyond their control wants to keep on cruising the skies and keeping in practice,then easyJet are always recruiting.
New bases are opening up over Europe so I guess they're doing alright out of a terrible situation.
Check their web site at "www.easyjet .com"
Good luck. ;)

Hey, 604! I've sent you a private message. Surely you know how to get it? From your profile, that is. Waiting for your reply!

Getting used to sitting at home now. Every time I hear an airplane passing in the sky I wish I would be there! How sad is that? :(

Sweetie,

Check ur Private Messages.

Hey Sweetie and 604driver,

Guys hang in there… as i have mentioned numerous times to alot of lovely people on this forum. I use to work for a great Airline, Ansett, which went into receivership on Sept 16th. Even though Ansett wasn’t directly affected by the September 11 attacks, instead of having more to do with incompetent management, but having said that, the attacks did affect our booming tourism industry as well as aviation her in Australia, no thanks to Bin Assh%#!
I am hoping just like you to get up in the air as soon as opportunities arise, in the meantime, I have been working in hospitality as well as making great new friends on this forum to talk about and share our memorable experiences with. Plus… as already mentioned, send your CV to agencies, get temporary work out there…. I know it must be very difficult to readjust to 9to5, but remember guys… It’s only temporary, before we know it, we will all be back up there where we excel and hearts fly! So let’s just keep on posting and encouraging everybody from Flight Attendants, Tech crew to the ground crew and anybody else that is a part of, or wants to be a part an industry that brings people together... AVIATION!!!!

:) :) :) :)

Thanks, Doohan!

Good to see somebody not feeling as down as I do. Reading your reply gave me a little bit of hope that things will definately get better!

Good for you! ;)

Well, I finally lost my job... :( Thought maybe everything will be OK, we'll survive! No, we didn't. I thought with our managment we'll survive. They did everything possible...

Our company went bust. All the hopes are gone. :(

So - What now? Feel like I'll never find job as enjoyable as working for this Company.

Yes, not all my experience has been rosy, but hey! - how many of us can tell they haven't had bad days?

Oh, never mind... Don't listen to me if I'm boring you. I'm really upset.

Hope nobody of you, who is reading this, will have to experience your Company going bust... :( Not nice, I can tell you! And those, who lost their jobs, I know just how you feel!

Good luck, everybody!!! :)

Ex CC :(

:( Sweety....I'm so sorry to hear that you have lost your job.
All i can say is chin up and i hope something good comes out of it for you....

[Cart_tart]

So sorry to hear you lost your job sweety. I like the outlook "As one door closes, another one opens".
You'll be flying again soon. At least you've got the advantage of having been a FA when you apply to other airlines. Check the thread "Working in Asia" as that seems to be VERY interesting. Could be some good possibilities there!
Good Luck. Don't let yourself get down about it...just think of it as a bit of a holiday! :)
