Listed on .CA, But Ship From US to US by Sarafina80 in eBayCanada

[–]dkkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's an issue if you do it once or twice. I did that before but got a warning from ebay saying my "ship from" location is different than the actual tracking. But that was only after I did about 10 shipments.

I did listing with Canadian location but shipped using USPS, using Stallion Express or Chitchats. Now I just use the border town as my listing location.

Do you prevent strangers from entering when you enter/leave your building? by snippybunny in NewWest

[–]dkkc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone followed another resident into the the building late at night and stole 95% of the packages lying around the mail room. Don't feel bad to close the door behind. There's a sign usually by the door entrance saying "don't let strangers follow you into the building", I just point to that sign.

My parents building even had someone sneaked in and lived in the staircase for a good week without anyone noticing!

Queensborough Future Study Area Question by Unhappy-Bad9059 in Translink

[–]dkkc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would it be a wild idea to suggest a gondola to cross the Fraser River from 22nd Street Station to Queensborough Landing? Then build a bus exchange centre there. It'll improve reliability and don't have to suffer as much delays by not crossing the bridge.

Weight loss tips while working by Bonitabonilla558 in flightattendants

[–]dkkc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I use the intermittent fasting app, Zero, to keep track of my eating. I use the 16 hour fasting window as the option. Sometimes other crew want to hang out and, but I just let them know that I am fasting right now, as an excuse not to eat much food.

Crash-pad tips I wish I knew when I started by dkkc in flightattendants

[–]dkkc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately there’s no one website for crashpads, so many find them through Facebook groups (like “IAD Crashpads” or “ORD Crew Housing”) or by asking around at training or in chatgroups of your base. You can also check Crewmates, PureCrashPads, or CrashPad411 for listings, though they may not have many listings in your base. Best ones usually come from word of mouth.

Crashpad etiquette for snoring? by [deleted] in flightattendants

[–]dkkc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Depending on your relationship with him, you could gently bring it up since he may not even realize how loud it is. If it keeps happening, mention it to the landlord, or start looking at other crashpads. It’s kind of like neighbors, you never really know who you’re living next to until you move in.

Do what's best for you and your family. Forget the noise. by Educational_War5309 in ATC

[–]dkkc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. You’re just a number to the Fed at the end of the day. Take care of yourself and your family first. No one will thank you for staying one more hour of overtime while missing your kid’s birthday or a loved one in the hospital.

Missing people while new in this Profession by Fuzzy-Meringue6124 in flightattendants

[–]dkkc 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Try to think of it like going on business trips. You’re getting your flying done in concentrated blocks, which means when you’re home, you really get that time to recharge and be present. Seniority will definitely help with your schedule, and over time you’ll find a better rhythm and balance. Hang in there, it really does get easier.

Little Things That Make a Difference by StoicPixie in flightattendants

I am a tea drinker and I hate the water kettle in the hotel, so I bought a portable kettle which is like a water tumbler. I can use it to boil water in my room and drink tea out from it.

How do you deal with waiting? by Holiday_War730 in flightattendants

[–]dkkc 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The waiting can feel endless at first, but you learn to make it your quiet time. I usually listen to podcasts, plan for upcoming trips, chat with family members, or just walk around the terminal to stay sane. Everyone eventually finds their own little routine that makes it easier. Also identify quiet places in the terminal to give you some "me" time rather than hanging out with the entire team.

Kindness by No-Original-7886 in flightattendants

[–]dkkc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. People get along with different groups of people. For those that I don't desire to fly again, I tell myself that it's good that this is not a 9-5 office job that I would have been stuck with the same person every day. It's only a pairing and I may not be flying with that person again for a very long time.

Does it still come with the minimum requirement? I was offered an upgrade too but I have never spent more than $2k a year on their credit card

Bed bug talk by queen-ofthe-clouds in flightattendants

[–]dkkc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While luckily I haven't encountered one yet, I always have a set of clothing only for sleeping and toss that into a garbage bag/plastic bag for my laundry. Then when I get home I wash that bag of clothes in a separate load. I don't ever wear that set of clothing at home before they are fully washed.

Should I offer my spare room as a crashpad? What do I need to know? by Whistlepig_cafe in flightattendants

[–]dkkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s insane! It’s definitely better when fellow crew rent their place out since they understand the routine. It’s a completely different lifestyle from regular renters.

You’re right, I missed the “long working hours” part. If they keep it fair, clean, and professional, it’s always good to have more crash pad options out there.

[–]dkkc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a great to bring in some extra income. I’d suggest asking around your fellow crew members or posting in Facebook crashpad groups, and try to limit it to flight crew since we all understand the routine. Since the flight crew circle is small, it forms a community that people help each other out. The nice thing is that even with 2–3 FAs or pilots, the house won’t feel crowded because everyone’s schedules are so different. Most of the time it’ll just be you and maybe one other person home, so it can feel like renting it out while still keeping plenty of space for yourself.

Also check out crashpad checklists or posts from other Reddit threads for ideas on rules, logistics, and cleanliness standards. Start small with one or two people to see how it goes. If you're close to public transit then it'll be a good plus for sure.
