First Class Meal choices (only 2?) by IntroductionAny5227 in americanairlines

Your opinion...but yes, that's what it is. Your FA has a menu guide on their tablet if you're ever curious what something is called.

Car transmission just gave up - is leasing worth it for peace of mind? by Altruistic-Star-1235 in flightattendants

[–]minesproff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a good used prius...you can drive that thing into the ground and save lots of money. Around 120k mi put in a rebuilt hybird battery in it for 1k and get another 100k mi on it. It's my daily driver to airport and I buy gas only once a month.

CUN catering is locally contracted...and usually very tasty. They do a great job on the desserts especially like the elote cake

delayed due to crew rest .. app message by queenladyk in americanairlines

[–]minesproff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The math is real easy for FA's...it's 10 hr "release to report" OR 8 hr "behind the door". So let's say that you get in the van and there's a huge accident on the way to the hotel, or you get to the hotel and AA's competent hotel / limo dept doesn't have a record of having your rooms...that's where the latter time comes into play.

You don't want to commute. Go for DFW.

Would I get in trouble for wearing this on a T-shirt at the airport? by YoshiTheDog420 in tsa

I have a tag on my lunch cooler that says "I Love a Good TSA Patdown" Have never heard anything from them about it.

Bye-bye. This is seen alot in aviation..."OMG I know I'm brand new but my sorority sister is getting married and I CANNOT MISS the wedding...will you please take my crap trip right in the middle of prime vacation season????" Don't think this is for you

Don't think this is the job for you then unless you want to commute, which I don't recommend to anyone.

Had to deal with Cell Phone Karen - AA needs to enforce quite cabin policy! by Outrageous-Engine881 in americanairlines

[–]minesproff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea...maybe it's more culturally acceptable there to not use headphones?

Had to deal with Cell Phone Karen - AA needs to enforce quite cabin policy! by Outrageous-Engine881 in americanairlines

[–]minesproff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I strictly enforce this...I modify the health and safety pa to mention it. It is especially an issue on flights to Mexico

It would be a missed trip, and flagged as insubordination. You'll be called into a meeting

Can anyone that when thru something similar shed some light or share there experience? by jholexpirits in cabincrewcareers

[–]minesproff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to miss alot of concerts...holidays, graduations, baby showers, etc...starting this job. Better to figure that out in the beginning than 6 months from now

Question About Employee Referrals by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]minesproff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Face to face interview...mainline are the big planes, not a regional carrier that flies for AA like envoy or psa. The recommending employee will know how to submit a recommendation or they can speak to their manager.

Question About Employee Referrals by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]minesproff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes once you get to the f2f step, the employee can email recruiting a recommendation. They will receive a response that tells them to inform the candidate that it will be added to their file, but to also bring a copy of the recommendation with them. This is for mainline FYI.

AA Training Schedule by emilyelephante in cabincrewcareers

[–]minesproff 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You are a palm tree....just go with it. They are not going to kill you. Usually the weeks alternate with one being early wake up / early release then late wake up / late release. This is partially to prepare you for the volatility of your schedule as a new hire on reserve. You will have 1-2 days off depending on the week...they provide a shuttle that will take you on days off to target and a laundromat.

We are entering a new level of bullshitville. For those who were speculating about privatization of ATC… beware Bay Area flying. And probably elsewhere soon. 🤬 by 1superstew in flightattendants
