COEWRFA

Hello everyone at flyer talk, my name is Lorenzo and I am a EWR base CO F/A. I noticed that US Airways has some of there F/A's answering questions about our job and there airline, so I decided to join and do the same for our customers. I look forward to any questions I can answer and anything I can assist our most valued customers with. I love my job and airline and wlecome all you have to ask.

Sincerely,
Lorenzo

Lorenzo -
Do you have any advice for someone trying to use Alaska Airline partner miles with Continental to fly biz class from Phx to either London or Dublin? Or any advice at all in simply finding someone on the phone that actually will help us with finding 2 seatsfor next Aug/Sep? We have hit a brick wall in terms of any kind of help over the phone, i.e. told there are no award seats available or all flights are booked then or they simply just don't want to help us with the process.
Thank you for any advice you can offer!
SanMarie

p.s. I realize you don't work for Alaska, but thought perhaps you know a better way to work the system and find someone who can actually help, or advice as to when there are more award seats available in biz class.

Nothing off the top of my head but I'm sure you'll get a few questions shortly.

Welcome to FT!

I just tried some random dates and found availability on Delta and Northwest. You will have to call the Alaska Airlines Partner Desk at 1-800-307-6912 to book them. I don't know if you had your heart set on Continental, but it is almost a year away, I bet something will open up. Just keep checking. I used www.continental.com, which showed the other airline flights that should work with using Alaska miles.

Welcome Lorenzo,

We are glad to have you here. I am sure your insight and knowledge will be helpful, and I am sure we will keep you entertained with our questions about shrimp pizza’s and cookies in first class

It is about time we have a thread such as this one. I noticed the UA board has one. We couldn’t let the UA board be progressive and leave us in the dust…

I hope we can make this a sticky.

Welcome to FT!
Glad we can finally have a FA Q&A thread. Hopefully the other FAs will chime in.

I think we should stick with the COInsider if we have any questions..hes been good..

Yeah, because only one person should be able to provide information to us. Especially when it comes to something that isn't part of his job at CO.

There are a whole bunch of CO employees who post here regularly. We've got pilots, FAs and PC agents that I know of and can name, and probably plenty of others as well. Welcome to the fun, COEWRFA.

Don't forget sfogate.

Welcome, Lorenzo.

I am just surprised you are so open about using your real name.

Just be careful. People have been burned before.

Yes, welcome to Flyertalk, COEWRFA!

Indeed. My apologies to one our more prolific employee posters and GA extraordinaire. In my defense, I did imply that I'd forget someone.

I noticed as well that UA has a "Ask the F/A thread". There are quite a few employee's who post on here regularly. We try to give an insight to our jobs, as well as answer questions you FF's have.

I am still waiting for someone to give me some chocolate in exchange for extra cookies ^ (as talked about in another thread).

So my fellow FTer's, shall we have an official "Ask the F/A, Agent, etc." thread?

I for one would be happy to check in on the thread and try to get answers (I usually log in daily anyways, yes I am addicted LOL).
