Hi Getoutofmygalley,

I would have checked my emails (like the memos) but I delete the deleted items from time to time as well so I've only got around 10 deleted emails at the moment and it's definitely not one of them...

I don't believe it was emailed by an OPM as one of the OPM's actually told me off for giving crew 'made up' information (she didn't say that but her meaning was pretty clear.) but I've actually spoken to some (reliable) crew members today and they remember reading it too but like me can't remember where. Because I started doubting myself (although being 100% convinced...if that makes sense ;-)), thinking I must have dreamed it...but then two of my three girls today said they know about it which made me feel so much better...but now I want it black on white so I can show that OPM...I guess it shouldn't matter but it does bug the hell out of me...:O

Have you checked the things that get posted home?

Fresh & Crew Matters spring to mind as a posibility :confused:

I think the only communication on magazines I have read is not to throw them out at the end of the month.

I have just gone through the last 2 months of emails (LTN) and found nothing. Sorry.

What you say does make sense, however, I have never gone as far as discourage, but I don't advertise that you can take them with you either.

Good look in finding your source.

Thanks you two...

Getoutofmygalley:
That's what I'm thinking. Unfortunately, I don't keep all this stuff so i can't read them up anymore. Fresh 3 is not available on the Intranet and it's not in fesh 1, 2 or 4.
It might have been in Trollied...

But that's what I mean...we just get too much information from too many different channels and then they expect us to know all of it and remember where we've got it from!!! Because we are obviously super human :cool:

ezychic: Sorry chick, I didn't put it in the right words if you understood we are actively to discourage them now.
What I meant was that we are just not supposed to encourage it anymore (like you already do: not promoting it anymore via PA) but if they want to they are still more than welcome to take it.

Thanks for looking into your emails.
The main problem is that I can't even give you a time frame. It might well have been over two months when I've read it (because I think -not sure though- that it was before my op and that was early March)...less than half a year, I'm almost sure of that...

Oh well, i guess, I should just it it to rest...
Thanks for all your help, both of you :-)

Magazines
 

The boxed pa does not mention taking mags with them.

Ladies and gentleman, we will shortly be landing so please would you return to your seat and ensure that your hand baggage is put away under the seat in front of you or in the overhead lockers.

Just as for take o we need you to switch off all electronic equipment. Please also help us by handing in any rubbish newspapers or magazines that you dont want to take with you.

Problem solved

orange1 :

You are an angel! Can't tell you how much that means to me! now I only have to find a copy of that Trollied but that should be easy enough! You've just made my day :-)

orange1-

Unfortunately it actually says "We request our passengers to leave the brochure onboard so we do not have to print as many."

So it was about the retail brochure (which we never encouraged people to take off), not the magazine, though I suppose if the company's saying that it could well extend the the magazine.

Wex

Damn it...that's not it then...the bit I meant was about the inflight magazine not the brochure...never mind.

I'm over it anyway. I had a nasty medical on board the other day that puts things a bit into perspective...
And at the end of the day I really don't care, i was just under the impression of receiving contradicting information.

Thanks anyway, orange1, and thank you as well wexcan :-)

Scared
 

Hey Guys,

Can anyone give me some tips, i finnished my training on friday, i have my base day tomorrow, and im going to pick up my pass as i have it already, so my supernumery flight is tuesday i believe... im based at stanstead. Im so scared that ive forgotten everything already. I have been reading my manual today but as always when your stressed it doesnt go in.. i know im lucky and that i can get this out the way.. everyone else from my course hasnt even got close to getting their pass yet. But im so nervous... any advice guys??

Very Scared!!!

I understand the environmental point of not taking of the magazine (i have not read anywhere that we should not encourage pax to take a copy) but from a business point of view its a good move to have as many people as possible to take a magazine with them as its free advertising for us and the advertisers inside the mag.

Airlinegirl:

Don't stress yourself. You'll be fine. You know all the stuff (you'll be surprising yourself) and the crew will know that you are new and nervous and will look after you. Don't forget the experienced crew is there to support you.
Just try to relax and be yourself. And if you ask me, don't touch the manual again for about a week after flying. You just making yourself more nervous and really you do know it all.

Good luck!


gritbar:

I agree and that's written down as well. Obviously it's good for easyjet if the customer spends as much time with the brand name as possible. That's what I mean with that I was under the impression of getting contradicting information. Anyway, if I ever find out I'll let you know but I'm not really bothered anymore. Thanks :-)

Thanks Dolley, i will try and calm myself!!! Ill let you know how i get on!!

Hello Airlinegirl, I am in the same boat! I am based at LGW and got my ID today. Now I am waiting for my SNY flight. Does any one know how long could I be waiting?

I shall have my SNY next Friday, and my check flight on Saturday. I have my answer then

Hey, i had my check flight today and i passed! My only advise is to make sure you know everything on the check flight paperwork you were given on graduation.. like 10 point drill and stuff cause they ask you loads of questions... i struggled a bit on some of them... specially if you graduated a while ago.. i only finnished last friday so i thought i knew it.. but not enough.. it wasnt as scary as i thought tho...

I was really exausted after my supernumery.. so try and rest loads...

good luck and let me know how you get on!!

Congratulations Airlinegirl. Thank you for your advise. I'll let you know how it goes :\:\

Grr
 

So this is my situation, and how annoying.
Got my ID on monday, had problems swiping my id, did my check flight yesterday and nearly had the same problem as its saying not in system. So the ID depts rang me today to tell me my pass hasnt been validated properly so ive now gotta wait another 1 - 2 weeks before i can fly again!!!!:ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh:

I.D.
 

Mine say's "not in system" too, they just have a big book with my name in it.... never stopped me flying, although it is a pain in the a*se. Apparently I can get it rectified, just means going to the I.D. dept, I've just never been around though.

Orange wash?
 

You know when you sort out your laundry into piles...whites, lights and darks.... my other half commented on our oranges pile the other day.

Anyone else have an orange pile for their washing or is it just us?
