In search of flight attendant who gave me this crown.

Looking for my missed (romantic, not flight) connection.

On my flight this morning from LGA to ATL you made fun of my United tag at the beginning of the flight. At the end of the flight you gave me this crown and I was too shocked to say anything.

If you see this I would love to take you out sometime 🤗

Do I actually miss aviation, or just what it made me feel?

I left my aviation job at an Indian airline because the hectic routine had started draining me. I thought leaving was the right decision, and initially, I was fine. But now, almost a year into working as an Account Manager at a marketing agency in Mumbai, I still find myself missing aviation.
There’s something about seeing an aircraft that still gives me a feeling I can’t really explain. I don’t necessarily miss the job itself, but I miss something about it—and I’m not sure what.
Has anyone experienced this after leaving a career they thought they were done with? How did you figure out whether you genuinely missed the career, or just the feeling it gave you?

Best way to get international trips when your very junior

Hi! Newer FA here who has not yet gotten assigned an Intl trip. I was wondering what you all think is more common, getting a trip off RR or standby for Intl. Also was hoping someone could explain how picking up fits into min vs max flying. Thanks :)

forgot to mention i’m SFO based!

Non-Rev Intros

Hey crews! Are we still introducing ourselves to the crew when we non-rev? Your carrier or others. I do it and I get mixed responses. It feels like some crews appreciate it while others act like I’m coming on asking for freebies.

If you introduce yourself, how far do you go? Do you introduce yourself to the flight deck and ask for a ride?

Years ago it was expected but now it seems like most crews don’t care to know.

Share your perspective as a non-rev and working crew.

One pair of sneakers for both the gym + exploring on overnights?

I’I’m trying to find one pair of shoes that can do both. Hotel gym treadmill/weight lifting, but also cute enough to wear with a casual outfit when I go out and explore the city afterward.

Packing separate gym shoes + going-out sneakers just takes up way too much luggage space, so I KNOW someone has figured out the perfect hybrid sneaker.

What are y’all wearing?

Crew Scheduler

Hello All- I am starting next week as a crew scheduler at a regional. Have seen the posts about "Screw Schedulers" and want to avoid being that person. Can you give me an idea what does a good crew scheduler look like / do from your perspective? What are the things crew schedulers do (or don’t do) that make your lives noticeably easier or harder. Are there any specific communication styles, or ways of handling trips/reschedules that you appreciate?

I’m not looking for a roast — just honest feedback so I can be more helpful and less of a headache. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share.

🌐 so basically there is no difference between white and purple flag, right?

I did the math and it’s basically the same. What am I missing? Don’t have my link around to read the JCBA

Forgot to sign in. Already on the plane

I’m an MQ FA still on probation and I just realized I completely forgot to sign in for my assignment an hour before departure 😭
The thing is, I was actually at the airport/on time. I scanned my badge with the gate agent, boarded the aircraft, did all my normal preflight duties, and I’m literally sitting on the aircraft right now working the flight.
Would I sign in now ??? Should I call Crew Scheduling now or wait until we get back to DFW?
I’m freaking out a little 😭

Is a second job worth it?

I’ve gotten to the point that I think I need a second job, mostly for the sake of my mental health. I’ve been flying 95-120 a month for almost 4 months now, and I am exhausted and so short fused every day that I work, its beginning to affect my personal life. So I’m here to ask what kind of second jobs do some other people have or recommend while flying? I have considered going back to school/obtaining some sort of licensing for either nursing or real estate. I’d love to hear personal experiences with obtaining a second job/career after becoming a flight attendant.

In an ideal world, I would just fly less and work less in general, but due to my financial goals I am trying to achieve and unexpected costs, in addition to planning to move states in December/January, working less overall is not an option, and at year 2 pay, even 120 hours isn’t enough to get me where I want without sacrificing my wellbeing.

Alaska Air/ commuters

For any current AS FA’s, how hard is it to commute? I know it’s not recommended and can be very difficult but initially it would be necessary. Having said that, does anyone commute out of PHX?
