I flew back to IAH Saturday with the same crew, and she was a little more cheerful then, despite the 3+ hour weather delay. I've flown with her before, and she's always outstanding in the F cabin. She's a long-term CO FA, from the old DEN hub days, and still lives in Colorado.

It is hard being a pimp these days, especially when PSU decided he didn't like making money.

I can hardly wait :rolleyes:

Two doses of congrats!!!!

What is this permission you speak of? :confused:

IAH has had it for a few years. I sometimes have seen it at ATL, and some of the other clubs as well.

:o I was greeted by name by Gate Agents and FAs today! First time it has happened across the board and the last portion I was sitting in an exit row not first.

FAA was onboard from IAH to FLL :D That safety demo was picture perfect they actually put ON the masks fully, darn near hooked up the oxygen, then put the lifevest on fully too.

Thanks, fellas.

The first time I had that combination was while waiting for the rest of the E PC crowd to show up after the party flight landed. Not bad at all.

Thanks all. Glad to feel like I have a purpose again...I'll really get excited after the paperwork clears.

The Devils' 727 (N615PA) is ex-PE, and I would assume ex-CO as well, but I didn't research it that deeply.

IAH only has the orange juice out; I still find you have to go to the bar for other flavors.

Yesterday at IAH E it was hot on the top floor. CO tends to keep all the PCs too warm, in my opinion. And ATL in the afternoon? You'll bake in that place, thanks to the west facing windows and the general lack of effective air conditioning that exists throughout the entire ATL terminal complex.

I've only seen the Walkers about three or four times. I'm always shocked when it's out, because on 95% of my PC visits, it's not there.

Then again, ATL still doesn't have all of the snacks that the other PCs have had for a few years now (like the Rondele).

Generally my experience as well, but today 2 orange, 2 cranberry, and an apple! Self serve. In C South.
Term A PC has a nice dispenser for Orange Juice with ice in the center so it doesn't water down, I think E does as well, these today were just pitchers with a twist off top, transparent so you could see what you are getting.
I rarely ever find myself close to E gates unless I am coming IN to them :td:

FLL has the babybel still as well, they are a different packaging in 09 tha in 08 but still good :)

ATL missed the message from 2007 that "all PCs are getting a third kind of cheese." Some got Rondele, some a veggie/cream cheese spread, others Babybel. ATL? NOTHING. It's the only PC I've been in with only two flavors of cheese. ATL also doesn't have Nutella, and while they had Walkers shortbreads out once about a month ago, that's the only time I've seen those at that club.

I wish CO would do something about the consistency of the snacks in the PCs. Granted, the chips and crackers and cheese and apples are always there most of the day, but they keep announcing new products and then only making them available about 5% of the time. What's the deal?

A lot has to do with what time of day you are at the club. Different things are out at different times. I have heard from agents at several clubs (most recently DEN) that CO is trying to standardize as much as possible. I'd bet that if you had simply asked for Walkers at the ATL club that you would have found that they had them.

Congratulations. ^

This is good. This is very good. At least you can ride out a part of the recession with something to put a few coins in the pocket. ^

That is "at least." "At best" would be that this is a career in an area where you would like to stay so if it is, do not book any more travel (and I know it is difficult) during the period they tell you that you will be working there. When we hire someone, one of the most important factors is their availability, so for the moment, be there, no sick days, no late arrivals or early departures, and make someone there reluctant to lose you when the currently planned time to let you go has arrived. He will figure (if you are good at the job and we know that you will be) that you are the guy on whom he can depend.

Just two cents from one who has been there on both sides. :)

Advice well taken. My two concerns are AMS (if they start me by then, it is only 3 weeks out) and FLL. I'm not going to miss the 80th birthday of my last remaining grandparent.

Is it just me or does CO never ask you the emergency exit row question "are you willing and able to assist?" I've always found that odd.

Congrats CM.

You're right; I've been asked the question when sitting in the exit row very infrequently...but when I do get asked, the FA doesn't joke around and they follow it to a T and ask for a verbal English answer and the whole nine yards.

Thanks.

They do on the RJ's....even if you're fast asleep and told them when you walked through the boarding door that you're aware of where you're sitting and that you're willing and able to assist. :mad:
