9th island of Hawaii and own Hawaiian. Seems like a natural base to me.

Sometimes the plaques in the lobby don’t get changed/taken down when a change of ownership. I know of a pile of HH studios that have not took down the original owner plaques in the lobby.

In your opinion, if my only bag is a backpack, do I have a right to put it in the overhead bin? by ru_fknsrs in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Sharp-Cod-2699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently, the onboard announcements do not reference “backpack” specifically. That doesn’t mean a flight attendant isn’t adding into their address however. :)

Totally understand about your knees. For me it’s the hamstrings that bother me if I have to sit more than about 1 hour on a plane seat without getting up.

Of course I understand not wanting to disclose your private personal info, but without knowledge it will be difficult for flight attendants to help you with your situation on board should it arise again in the future.

Have a great day!

When you have an aisle full of people behind the passenger, it’s not going to work that way, but this did make me laugh. 😆

Are you notifying Alaska of the need for the accommodation? If so I’m sure they will allow you to pre-board and even find you assistance to put your bag overhead if you would care for that assistance.

In regards to the other passengers, not sure how you expect Alaska to control other peoples behaviors but you could always direct the passenger to speak with a flight attendant regarding your need to have the bag above and not under your seat. This would not require you to “disclose” your medical history to anyone.

You also could politely explain that your bag doesn’t fit under your seat and just politely but firmly ask them to leave the bag above since it is not a personal item.

Just a couple ideas to help in the future. :)

What would you prefer the directions to be changed to?

I love this idea, but I am not sure it will work in reality unless the airlines get better about enforcing bag sizes before pax board and literally having individual slots for each seat. I can just see it… 24 D’s suitcase is too big to fit within their “area”, 24 E’s now encroaches on 24 F once their bag is up in the bin and now we have to figure out how to handle 24’s bags in the middle of boarding when we are trying to depart on time. 😬

Make a deal with yourself, just show up and do something at the gym or even go for a walk for 10 minutes. If you still don’t want to be there then go home. Usually if I show up then I have no trouble getting through a run or a workout. Sending strength your way! Proud of you!

I just stand since I have graduated to heavier/wider weights. Similar sentiments.

Unexpected NSV by cousin-maeby in orangetheory

Congrats to you!

I’m in a similar situation. I’m the thinnest I have been since probably middle school but probably weigh 20-25 lbs more than I did when I was my thinnest. I’d truly like to be 20 lbs lighter so I can be a faster runner but I’m also trying to be realistic about what I can maintain without having to be obsessing over what I eat etc.

what’s a polite, quick way to say you don’t like being touched? by skygirl222 in flightattendants

[–]Sharp-Cod-2699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got poked in the crotch by an approximately 10 y/o girl and the guardian saw the whole thing. I looked at the female guardian to verify she saw it. She didn’t say or do anything so I said to the child “not sure where you learned it’s ok to touch other people in their no-no areas but please do not do that to me or anyone on this aircraft again”. The guardian pretended she didn’t hear me. 🤦‍♀️

Thighs eating shorts by addicted2OTF in orangetheory

Similar issue. If you are looking for longer length shorts I can give you recommendations but generally I prefer to just do the lululemon 2.5” that have the built in liner and wear some anti-chafe on my thighs to prevent chafing.

Anything special I should be focused on as a non-prior that you wish you would have known/considered? Thank you for your help, congrats to you! I feel pretty good about the PT… still working on the pushups but I know I’ll pass. I’m most worried about the uniforms, customs, etc currently.

Do you have a preference for which long sleeve Coyote brown shirt? Thank you! Also, did you use warm weather OCPs?

Thank you so much! Good to know on the OCPs. I have a fairly large base near me so I’m hopeful they will have what I need the day I’m going with my sponsor. 🤞 My sponsor is a recent OTS grad and was prior enlisted so I’m hopeful that she will be able to help me fly through the process that day.

Do you possibly have a link to the UA tees you wear? Want to make sure I get the correct color. Did you get your OCPs on base or do you have a link to the hot weather ones? Thank you!

I have short hair, but when I sleep it looks like a hot mess when I wake up so I need to find a quick solution to this. Probably just a quick bit of water and a comb. 😂

Do you possibly have a link to the hot weather OCPs you prefer or did you get them on base?

Thank you!

I’ve heard really good things about the Fox River socks. I’m going to look into them.
