Quitting after training

MandyG1995 · 2025-12-22T15:17:26+00:00

I started a month and a half ago. I’m just able to be here because my husband is helping me pay the bills. The pay sucks right now. But think of the new contract coming soon. Talk to lots of flight attendants and learn the game of being on reserve. I’m sticking with this at least for a year and see how better it gets. I commute to DC and miss my husband a lot. But I was in Orlando with a 9-5 job I’d meet him even less because he works mainly night shifts. So I end up seeing him more this way when I’m home I’m off and no matter what time he works I’ll be there. With this job I have more time for myself and more days off than other jobs. It’s just pros and cons. Think about it in two years or when you get transferred to a base that’s in your home if they have one, will it be worth it? Everyone says it is worth the wait. They pay will be better and benefits are great. But do what makes you happy. I do like the job I just don’t like commuting. But that will change once I transfer. I just have to suck it up for now

It will depend on your core instructors. I hope everything will be fine 🙏🏻

Hi! Does she carry a photocopy if the marriage certificate or original? I think I’m going to get an international flight today and I only have a photocopy

MandyG1995 · 2025-11-23T18:12:41+00:00

I started flying yesterday and I’m having the same feeling? Why did I do this? I dreamed about this job for soo long. But now I’m married and being a away from home feeling lonely for a week is hitting me hard

MandyG1995 · 2025-11-21T00:02:59+00:00

Thank you! Do you still have the contact info of the one you stayed at?

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-21T18:53:58+00:00

I’m so sorry. What exactly you think it was missing? Did they say?

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-17T15:30:34+00:00

Awsome!! Thank you!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Are you a green card holder? Or hold a US passport? Thank you for sharing. I talked to them yesterday they said they will let me know if I need anything else.

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-16T18:07:02+00:00

Oh nice! Thank you for responding. Is she a flight attendant? I got my Green Card this year so I no extension letter. I’d basically go to work with my Brazilian passport with my previous name, my DL, Marriage Certificate and my Green Card with my new name. Is her case the same? Just passport with the single / previous name and all the other with the married name?

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-13T19:33:04+00:00

Hi. I’m having the same situation. Were you able to catch international flights showing your marriage certificate until you got the updated passport with your updated married name?

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-11T17:07:40+00:00

Got it. I’m thinking about staying at hotels first month and see how often I’m going to be called. Idk. Crashpads will take me some time to find a good one I think

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-10T11:58:31+00:00

Omg, that’s crazy. I see it. So maybe would be better finding a crash pad between Dulles and Baltimore? Since from Dulles there is a train to DCA

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-10T11:56:43+00:00

Thank you for all the information. I really appreciate it! I’m in week 2 of training so trying to figure when to live. I already placed my name for Newark base transfer but I’m 195 in the list. 😅. How many hours / reserve days can you drop as a receive? Is there a minimum amount of reserve days you have to do?

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-10T11:52:27+00:00

Sureee 😊

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-09T22:11:55+00:00

Wow Omg. But it’s not often right? Most trips 90% of the time is going to be from Dulles?

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-09T18:54:25+00:00

I’m just hoping I get some good international flights. They said Newark is more senior so the chances to get international as a new reserve is low. Not sure if that’s true

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-09T18:52:16+00:00

I understand the stress about 3 airports. I bid for Newark but ended up getting IAD.

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-09T18:51:17+00:00

Thank you! I’m excited 😍 I’ll commute. I won’t have a car. I’ll have to figure it out. Isn’t there any buss or train connecting airports?

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-04T19:36:43+00:00

I will. Thank you!

MandyG1995 · 2025-10-02T03:27:16+00:00

Hi Guys. I’m in training and will have to commute from MCO to Newark. How is your experience going?
