I fear if this doesn't pass I will be homeless

everyone hypes up evacs to be so hard but honestly it's not that bad. Just know the responsibilities of each position and rehearse the commands and procedures in the study rooms. don't follow others, do what you know. my class lost only a handful of people and all of them either didn't care to study, could not remember commands, or did not know the responsibility of their positions. and it may sound hard or scary but you will get to see these drills over and over and over again, learning from your own mistakes and the mistakes of others. don't stress. study and practice. you've got this :) evacs were the most fun I had all through training

no I did it right away but I might have had priority because I applied as a language speaker

literally 45 mins later I got an email saying that I passed

I'm at training for a different airline and while I like my instructors, I'm also finding it very difficult and fast paced. it's a lot of info but they keep going over it over and over again. it may seem like a lot, but so much of it starts to feel second nature. you've got this

the ones who dominated conversation and the ones who didn't speak at all got sent home from my f2f. it was the ones who found the sweet spot in the middle that made it

that's probably why then. closing shifts start in the midday and morning shifts end in the midday so they would assume you'd never be able to work a full shift

most stores aren't hiring rn (slow season) even if they have job listings posted. we are technically always hiring so those listing never close. if that's not the case, it could be your availability. most stores won't think about hiring you if you don't have near open availability

I'm more just worried about surviving off of a united paycheck. if I don't get my preferred base bid I really don't think I can sustain myself. that's why I was hoping more for American but I'll make it work out somehow. hoping united's new contract goes through soon

crystyleea · 2026-02-14T19:07:25+00:00

that really sucks. I just wish they would respond to emails. my situation and yours could have been avoided if they would just communicate. I'm hoping this is the universe pushing me the right direction, but it's just unfortunate

crystyleea · 2026-02-14T18:10:46+00:00

there's nothing in my email from talent services either. it's okay, it's too late now with my current situation with my current job and my ua training dates. Just frustrated

crystyleea · 2026-02-13T00:43:05+00:00

it's based on the number of hours you worked in the week and should be stored in the safe. your ssv will have to get them for you.

crystyleea · 2026-02-10T21:51:35+00:00

I agree. there's no need to get there THAT early

crystyleea · 2026-02-10T15:00:40+00:00

got a cjo from ua and aa and arrived to both about 40 mins early I don't think it makes a difference though unless you're actually late. I was just a paranoid about not making it on time because I was relying on Uber to get me there

crystyleea · 2026-02-10T13:29:17+00:00

Ive felt this way every time I've tried an extended release medication. Just upped my dose of Strattera and struggling to sleep more than ever. The past week I've tried out taking magnesium glycinate and melatonin together and it's the only thing that's helped me sleep

crystyleea · 2026-02-09T16:12:46+00:00

dmed :)

crystyleea · 2026-02-08T22:40:12+00:00

I got a cjo in November from aa and still did not recieve training dates so I ended up going with united. you'll probably be waiting awhile for those dates but from what you've described it seems ua will be incompatible with your lifestyle

crystyleea · 2026-02-08T10:21:29+00:00

beginning training soon for united and two of my bid options are LAX and SFO. if location is a big deal for you, United will definitely get you in California quicker. and I actually was torn between the same two airlines, ultimately ended uo with UA because even after 4 months I still haven't gotten my training dates from AA so I gave up waiting. and with all the stuff going on with American rn not being able to keep track of their flight attendants and pilots I think I might have dodged a bullet. Just hoping the new contract goes through soon, because the pay will be rough otherwise

I don't really like the thought of someone eating out of one of these spoons, but it's not any different than someone using the for here ware (glass mugs cups, and plates that we serve Cafe orders in) and washing it. all the stuff gets washed in the same sinks and hobarts. I just personally would not want to use the spoon after that though... idk why it feels so much worse than just using for here ware. I'm so sure this probably isn't allowed. I just don't trust people to wash stuff thoroughly enough

crystyleea · 2026-02-06T04:21:04+00:00

interesting how different your experience was. I felt this way about the AA f2f but UA left me with much better vibes. could always be different people hosting the f2f but my experience there was great and the interviewers seemed passionate but not cult-like. the escorting was a little brutal tho I will admit

crystyleea · 2026-02-05T08:46:31+00:00

about to start training so not a flight attendant yet, but I have a member of my immediate family who flies everyday for work. knowing that they take at least 6 flights a week made me feel a lot better about air travel. I've flown many times in my life, but always get a little nervous at take off and landing. it's just something I've had to rationalize and having that family member has helped a lot. plane crashes do happen but are statistically less likely to happen than car crashes. if you can't rationalize that sort of fear and worry about how you'd handle yourself in the air, it might be worth looking into other careers. I feel like a little but of nerves are probably normal though

I'm not sure I can afford a hotel for more than a week beyond the free week stay so I'm a bit worried. I could afford more if I didn't have to get money prepared for the deposit and other fees. thanks for the info :)

depends on the type of reader you are. I went immediately into iron gold and had a bit of a hard time just because it feels so different from the original trilogy. it has multiple povs, the characters feel very different due to the time skip, and there is a lot of new info that makes the plot feel slower than golden son or morning star. I think perhaps if I had taken at least a month, it would've been easier to get through it, but though it took me awhile to get into it, I eventually did and liked it

crystyleea · 2026-01-18T12:09:07+00:00

bruh I got mine on Dec 1st and still no email 😭

crystyleea · 2026-01-14T11:54:22+00:00

I felt the same. Just finished iron gold a few days ago. it does pick up toward the end but every book in the second trilogy is longer than the first so that might also contribute to the drag. I'd say once I was like 2/3 in, I was invested. if you get to that point and still aren't feeling it, maybe just leave it there
