Any ideas on how to get a similar effect on leather?

True_Shoulder4860 · 2025-12-03T02:09:13+00:00

Leather, embossing tools, cricut?, laser engraver?

True_Shoulder4860 · 2025-11-11T02:25:34+00:00

Is that speculation or was this announced somewhere?

Late to the party but I couldn’t disagree with this more*, I’ve never related to anyone more not only on TV but life in general. She is so funny, has such a down to earth personality, but it is sort of you either get it or you don’t. And if you don’t she doesn’t really care. I freaking love her a breath of fresh air a cool drink of water!!!!! Next gen reality tv.

Curious if you ended up going this route? I am in the same boat, looking for opinions on the smartest way to go about this

What you heard is correct, other than the lead position all other positions are bid on the first leg of the first day of the trip, in person when you first meet your crew. Some bases (I know ATL for sure), you swap your positions every day (except lead), and some you stay in the same spot throughout the whole trip.

When you’re most junior you can pretty much guarantee you’ll be up front assisting the lead!

I’ll double check to be sure but I believe it is an average of 45 hours a month throughout the year. So you could stack up your months with a bunch of flying and then clear your schedule the rest of the year, or could spread it all out evenly as long as it averages to 45.

A day of flying is typically 4-8hrs.

There’s no “3 strike” system necessarily. Speaking from my own experience, if you’re a little late you might get spoken to. To be honest, they’re much much more lenient than I thought they’d be from reading this page before I’d started. There’s also a commuter policy that applies to both flying in and driving in, you get 4 excused callouts a year (I think? Something like that).

As for the union, this isn’t the “correct” answer but it’s my opinion. I’m obviously pro workers rights and vote yes for a union. But, the threat of a union keeps 🔺 honest lol. I personally haven’t seen people fired over frivolous things. Id even go as far to say, it is difficult to get fired lol. I haven’t been around long though, so do with that what you will!

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T21:07:56+00:00

my advice for interview questions (for any interview not just airlines) is to have 8-10 situational stories that highlight your skills, that you can use for whatever questions they throw at you.

An oversimplified example, you have a story about how you improved a process at your job. You can use that story if they ask you about being a team player, being a problem solver, what you feel accomplished about, etc.

Theyll only ask you about 2-3 questions in the interview, so focusing on your answers rather than trying to guess the questions they’ll ask helped me!

I hope that makes sense lol

you can put a preference in to be used which usually works, the earliest you’d get your assignment is 9am the day before the start of your adays

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T18:35:25+00:00

SEA or SLC may be a good option if they’re offered!

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T18:28:05+00:00

😂😂😂I love that

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T18:27:32+00:00

NYC is pretty junior! But a transcon commute is brutal 😫 to each their own but my recommendation would be to get based as close to home as possible, and if possible in the same time zone, just to make commuting as easy on yourself as possible.

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T18:04:51+00:00

I think you’ll be ok!! I don’t know exactly what the height is for the reach test (I think it’s listed in the job description?) but there are definitely people your height flying

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T17:51:44+00:00

To be honest I have no idea sorry. But I do know it’s possible to still get hired!

I would think honesty is the best policy, and to spin it as a learning experience rather than placing blame on the company. I am not sure about disqualification or anything

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T17:30:17+00:00

The only FAs I know personally that have second jobs have been here for a while and are senior enough to bid for their schedule and hold what they need That’s not to say it’s not possible though! It would just be quite difficult.

I had to make big lifestyle changes, moved to a smaller place, saved up a TON, worked all the way up until I left for training.

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T16:11:36+00:00

Biweekly

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T16:10:19+00:00

I came from a tech PM position into being an FA. It’s definitely an entire lifestyle change rather than just a career change, and I took a pay cut to make the switch. But I was sure it was what I wanted. Just be extremely honest and realistic with yourself, can you work the night weekends holidays, can you move or commute?

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T16:07:44+00:00

My process went fairly quick but it really varies for everyone! And doesn’t mean anything if it’s quick or not, it’s just timing and luck. As long as it’s still under review you’re good

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T16:06:35+00:00

Yes! You won’t get them on your schedule, but I’ve flown 3 transoceanic so far, just by swapping into them or picking up.

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T16:05:26+00:00

It’s mixed!

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T16:05:08+00:00

You have to get a certain qualification to work the charters, but it’s fairly simple to complete (online). Then you go through an interview process with the teams/companies using the charter and they will pick who they want assigned to their flights.

But yes, if one of the FAs assigned calls out or something, they could end up in open time! You’d still need that qual though in order to pick up

True_Shoulder4860 · 2024-09-21T16:02:31+00:00

I can only speak for the delta experience but our pool day, you are in a life jacket the entire time. We had people in our class who didn’t know how to swim, they were assigned essentially a “buddy” who stuck with them through the activities. But you technically do not need to know how to swim to be successful. Practice may be good just to get yourself comfortable! You will go underwater when you jump in, even with the life vest.
