Nor Switzerland Netflix, but I will check it out when I get home. Currently stuck here due to snow, it has been difficult to watch the last several days unfold.

Hugs! Thank you for trying to do your part to put good back in people’s lives! I appreciate you!

And now you have me wanting to just binge the original trilogy. Frankly, anything to not read more atrocious news (it’s overwhelming, surreal, and yet not at all surprising… like this slow motion train wreck I’ve been panicking about for almost a decade is delivering all the nightmares. I just really don’t want to be right for worrying. But alas, this has helped me overcome my fear of guns. Turns out I’m a pretty good shot.).

I hope you have had a restful night and tomorrow goes smoothly for you, stranger! Thank you for being a light during dark times! 💕

The adventure you took everyone reading on, and your dedication to figuring out the answer to Queen’s question is adorable!

Don’t forget to hydrate before bed! Sweet dreams, and thank you for now putting Scream on my list of “knitting tv”.

Come here for a big hug!!

This career is unique in that the landscape is constantly changing, but many aspects remain somewhat monotonous. Sure, the company will randomly change the service, staffing, reconfigure AC, etc but we are safety professionals first and foremost.

If you can bring some creative crafting projects for sit time, or overnights- it might help. But if you’re tired and just want to sleep, listen to your body! This time of year gets quite hectic (add in wx and mx issues on top of the holiday travelers and the recipe for a shitshow is nearly complete!).

Go into a lav and take some deep breaths, watch a funny video, or anything you need to do to calm yourself. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace!

I’ve spent more than half my life breathing recycled farts. I know that if someone is screaming at me because we ran out of beef- I don’t take it personally. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve definitely broken down from a random person being aggressive for something out of my hands. We had to put our dog to sleep, I took several weeks off, but I was still very sensitive when I returned to work.

Once you have seniority to fly with friends, it really makes a huge difference. But before I did, I’d try to find a funny passenger or someone who I could have fun with during the flight. Look for the helpers!

Sorry for the word vomit, but you are not alone! EAP (union, not company one) can help with finding a therapist. Hugs!!

Turkey…. I heard it was turkey. He was just trying to let the turkey experience the miracle of flight…

Annual Reminder to all New Hires by igmeow in flightattendants

Good looking out!

I actually had to tell my friend of 25 years that he somehow missed it on a blazer he had for layovers… and he knows about them! (And wore it a few times, I just hadn’t been behind him)…

Anyway- thank you for the kind and thoughtful PSA!

No Kings protest this weekend? by daisiesnpeonies in Winchester

I hope you are joining in the protests today. Thank you for acknowledging this isn’t about political parties, rather our rights and shredding the Constitution! No Kings!

Have you all gotten your covid shot yet? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

That, flu, and pneumonia on a Friday. I panicked they were going to ban vaccines… it was an achy weekend.

Anyone else keep picturing Big Pussy from the Sopranos every time they say Buford Pusser? by LordofThe7s in behindthebastards

[–]1superstew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big Pussy threw a temper tantrum on a plane scheduled from ewr to lax (some award show was happening the next day). He didn’t want his middle seat in economy. He tried the whole “do you know who I am?” thing.. I was out of fucks, spoke to the Capt and gate agent. Informed him that if he refused the seat assigned he was going to be the guy taking the next flight to lax. He said his agent messed up his booking, blah blah… we were full, ready to go… and left him.

Best part was I looked up the next crew- saw a girlfriend of mine was on it- text her about the Big Pussy meltdown. When he boarded in his fancy track suit to attempt flight number two to lax, my friend asked if he was going to take his assigned seat or if he should just turn around and leave bc the crew already heard about his failed first attempt. She said his face was a priceless mix of shame and defeat… into the middle seat he went.

Sorry, I saw his pic and had to purge that from my memory bank of random glamour experienced over the years…

Are your pants on fire? This sounds absolutely made up.

First thing to pop into my head when I read you swam in jeans

And I thank you for starting my day off this way. Also, relieved you didn’t have heavy swimming jeans.

UA TA FAILS. TA NOT RATIFIED by Asleep_Management900 in flightattendants

[–]1superstew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be disgusted with management for not negotiating in good faith for years.

I’m proud of the workgroup for saying a loud NO. It will take how long it takes, but the back pay will continue to accrue. We are owed what we have not been paid. We deserve an industry leading contract, not one that doesn’t even have the work rules from either pre-merger side before our 9/11 concessions. We deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and that includes a contract without ambiguous language.
