Passenger masturbates on woman! 2008-03-16 06:47:00 Was he hot? Thats the question I have. This is too damn funny, but I totally believe it, some of these passengers are nuts! (no pun intended) As far as the "sticky substance", she should have just combed it through and used it as a conditioner. I would also like to know how the other passenger in front of her "verified the semen in her hair"? Did they do a taste test or what? The following article was forwarded to me in it entirety.Woman files lawsuit against AMR because passenger next to her masturbated while she sleptA 21-year-old Harris County woman

Great Layovers 2008-03-25 06:51:00 Another great aspect of this job is the lifelong friends you make along the way. Today I am leaving on a 3day trip with layovers in Indy and Denver and I am flying with a gal I like I have flown with many times in the past. But yesterday I told you I did a little 1 day trip and one of the flight attendants I flew with and I had probably one of my most memorable trips together 9 years ago. We were on a 4 day trip and the last night of the trip had a long New York CIty layover. This was post 9/11 and our long layover hotel in New York was in Manhattan 1 block away from Grand Central Station. We had been looking forward to this layover from the time the trip started, and we got to the hotel around 11 PM that night and weren't leaving until 6 PM the next day. She was brand new at the time Read more:Great
Virgin America's safety video 2008-03-24 08:24:00 This is VirginAmerica
s A-320 safety video
, kinda cute! I am often asked if I get tired of performing the safety demo and the answer is no. It is just kind of second nature since I have done it thousands of times. New hires sometimes are nervous of performing the demo with everyone looking at them. Hell most people don't even watch us and god know I don't make eye contact with any of them anyhow.
A one day trip 2008-03-24 07:19:00 I do a one day trip today, its actually a nice easy little Pittsburgh turn I picked up. A lot of flight attendants like 1 day trips, so they can be home with their families every night and in their own bed, but they usually are not worth a lot of time and you end up working more days a month just to get your hours in. I usually prefer to fly 2-3 day trips, but again one of the best parts of this job is the flexibility it affords to your schedule.
Another disgraced Politician 2008-03-26 07:36:00 The mayor of Detroit and his former mistress have been indicted for several felony charges. He is Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and she is his former assistant Christine Beatty, you can google them for the whole nasty story. But this isn't the first time a mayor has been involved in a scandal or I am sure the last. Back in the the 70's when I live in Cincinnati, Jerry Springer (yes the same one) was the mayor. He was single at the time but he made the bad judgement of writing a prostitute he picked up in northen Kentucky a check for her services. Well the Cincinnati Enquirer obtained a copy of the cancelled check and ran it on the front page of the paper. That was the end of his political career and the beginning of a different kind of side show. Read more:Politician

My Passenger of the Week 2008-03-29 07:38:00 I flew a 3 day trip on Wednesday worth over 18 hours, which is worth a lot of time for a 3 day trip. This was a domestic trip and our 3 day Europe trips are not worth this much time. It was an exhausting trip with long days. turbulence and confrontational passengers. We were flying the last leg of the trip and after being on duty that day for 11 hours, we were tired and ready to go home and it was that leg of the trip during the beverage service when it happened! I approached row 16 with my beverage cart and applied the brake and I served 16 A&B a beverage and then as I was about to ask the lady in 16C what she would like to drink she looked up at me and with this beautiful smile she asked "how are you today?". I just about shit! I said "great thanks and yourself?". As I was making h Read more:Passenger

Happy Anniversary to me! 2008-04-02 07:16:00 I am leaving today on a 3 day trip and when I awoke this morning before getting out of bed I was laying there just thinking, and I realized that this past saturday was my 22 anniversary of the day I was hired by this flying circus they call my airline. So much has changed since I was hired, we had pillows, magazines, free food in coach and we even served mints after the meal service in coach. Oh also when I was hired they still had smoking sections on the planes. Seems like an eternity ago! I loved going to work back then, now I dread it. Don't get me wrong I still like my job, I just hate the drama that seems to go along with it nowadays. Back then flying was still somewhat enjoyable for us and the passengers, now it is a pain in the butt for everyone with packed airplanes, delays and Read more:Happy
