EmpressKelly in Huntington Beach, California said: Hi everyone! It's been a bit since I've posted anything here. Still waiting like you guys to hear about March class...I've been out of town and in the process of moving, ughhhhh! In between all the madness, I've managed to do some shopping for training....this laid back SoCal girl didn't have a whole lot of business attire anymore..so I had to stock up! My passport arrived, my travelpro's are ordered, and I'm sooooo ready! tkizzle and RJ and Awaiting, hi :) Can't wait to meet up with you all for training! Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!

Yes i know!! I am stoked for this! See you sometime in March!!

flyinsoon in Indianapolis, Indiana said: Hi, I'm sorry it took me some time to respond. Last week of training and trying to get myself prepped for all the hands on drills as well as the last 3 test.
I know you asked about the coat. I'm not sure about the coat, you may want to bring it with you so they can approve it. But I do know everyone who brought their coat to be approved, the coat was Blue. If you have a black coat, I'm not sure it will be approved.
You wanted to know about bases, well, I got Atlanta, actually, the entire class got Atlanta. I believe there is a large need for FA's in Atlanta.
If you have anymore questions let me know.

Thanks for the info!! Greatly appreciated!!

LISA - You sly dog. :) I can't believe you're almost done! And you still have your two fails - how comforting. I went out of town this weekend and took my study material w/ me ;) I think I'm in good shape.

I sure hope that you only have to do minimal time in ATL and that you'll get ORD really soon. Having flown all weekend, I'm really ready to get there and start slinging those Cokes myself. I'm flying again this coming weekend, and I hope to be able to schlep over to the commuter concourse and be nosy.
Stay on top of things, Lisa. Can't wait to see you!!!

Empress K,
I am so impressed--you have yourself totally organized. I have not ordered a single piece of luggage or even shoes...I guess I will be running around like a chicken with my head cut off at the last minute. I look forward to training with y'all as well. We have to hear someting soon....

That's because we've been hounding her to SHOP, SHOP, SHOP!!!

Seriously, you can't wait until the last minute to buy the items that they don't furnish (like shoes). It took me weeks to find comfortable shoes.

littlebritt in Indianapolis, Indiana said: AJZ-
You didn't go to the interview this past Tuesday(Feb. 5th) did you?

no, i went jan 22nd

Just came back from the open house in ORD. PPL. seem to be very nice, they told us they will let us know within next two weeks. They told us if we wanted to get on very soon we better go with Republic, however I put SA as my first choice. They still don't have a training date for SA.

RJ, how long did it take them to get back to you?

RJ,
have we heard anything definitive yet? I think I have aged since we last interviewed. I have to dust off the new shoes I purchased...LOL...I have since accepted another position in the senior financing market. I couldn't turn it down. However, I am going to continue to wait out the game with SA. Who knows, I may not be pleased over next couple of weeks with this new company. Going to NY next week to train. In meantime, I am still in a holding pattern with you girl for SA.

RJ in Atlanta, Georgia said: That's because we've been hounding her to SHOP, SHOP, SHOP!!!

Stop hounding me!! I can't afford to spend any more money with no solid date in my future!! LOL I'm set with everything I think I should need, which means that I'll probably need a whole lot more!! Anyhow..when we get the date, I'm ready to roll...or is that fly??
Lisa, congrats to you for doing so well, and to all the others, best wishes, those gold wings are only a few days away!

Steve, It took my group 2 1/2 weeks to get our acceptance email, although they had told us 2 weeks. The people who were not selected received their email much sooner.

AWAITING - Congratulations on the new job!!! It's always so nice to have a couple of offers in your pocket. Although I feel quite sure that you're going to be invited to SA training in March, I completely agree with your decision to accept the other one anyway. Maybe you can have some fun "doing" NY next week. Are you going to have access to a computer so that we can keep you posted on things?

I know - I almost wore my new f/a shoes on a trip that I took this weekend, but decided to keep them "new" for the f/a job. Don't stress, Empress, we've got a sure thing, and now that you've got all of your shopping done, you can just kick back and enjoy knowing that you've got this fabulous new job waiting for you.

Does anyone have a copy of the "Twelve Steps" so that we can try to start memorizing them (and no, I don't mean the ones in the Big Book). :)

RJ in Atlanta, Georgia said: You betcha. Got it?

RJ, I am so looking forward to meeting you soon! Ok, so other than the airport codes, 12 steps, what else do you have? I want to know as much as I can before we go...I don't plan on using my 2 chances!!
Share woman, share!!

RJ in Atlanta, Georgia said: You betcha. Got it?

RJ Hi are you doing was wondering could you send me a copy of the 12 steps also it will really be appreciated.....thanks Desi

RJ in Atlanta, Georgia said: You betcha. Got it?

oh yea you can't do it without the e-mail lol Desi9681@yahoo.com

Hello there f/a buddies. Just got bsck from Florida glad to see that all is well in training and thanks to all for taking the time to post. RJ I think it is a great idea to meet before training.
May I please bother you a little bit and ask for the "Twelve Steps." Many thanks.

I just want to congratulate all of you for your upcoming training. I will also be going to training with a Regional and I am sure all of you are as excited as I am. I received my study packet and I have be memorizing everything. I’ve been reading this forum for sometime and I just wanted to say good luck to everyone.

Philly
what regional are you training with?

RJ,
what are the 12 steps?

I will be provided a corporate owned laptop so I probably will not bring my personal one as well.. However, I am sure the hotel has a business center where I can keep in touch with y'all.

Hi Awaiting, congratulations on your new job although we will miss getting to know you. Did you have experience in finance to get your new job? Is it with Republic?

Hey Future SA Flight Attendants...

Just an FYI...The 12 Steps, we are required to use our FA manual pages...Don't stress over having this now.

not with chautaugua!! walk around the hotel and ck us out trying to memorize all the announcements.

Hey Lisa,
How is it going? Only one more week right? I would be honored to have you tos me some pretzels and a coke...

Hi Gonnafly,
I have been in mortgage banking for over 22 years. Since the credit market detioration, I have focused on the senior market and on reverse mortgages. It is very rewarding and i do love working with and assisting seniors. However, I am still waiting with y'all. Just never know what will happen when I actually get the training dates...you might see me yet. I'll keep in touch with everyone either way. the position is with Lender Lead Solutions (a reverse lending company based in NY).

Hi Lisa! Thanks for coming online to keep us informed. Do you know if my black trench coat will meet uniform qualifications? Someone said Shuttle is using blue ones.

Awaiting,
It's so nice that you have another skill to fall back on. I'm having some second thoughts about this fa job, and wondering if I might want to pursue something that keeps me closer to home. I'm sure you'll be making more money in finance. I just got a bachelor's degree in communication and wonder what it will get me.

That is correct...Shuttle uses the cards for the 12 Steps...sorry for the confusion.

Chat does have to memorize it.

5 days to go!

AWAITING...

FYI...I would love to serve you a coke and peanuts....anything anything to get me out of training....LOL

LISA - - Did you see my question above?? I know there's a lot of conversations happening all at once.

Thanks!!

Hi I've been interested in becomming a F/A. Well in my line of work now, I run into alot of retired F/A and Pilots. And they say I would really enjoy it. So in 5 weeks a recruiting event is comming here and was wondering what to expect and look out for. I am a little nervous I've been wanting to do this for 3yrs now. So if anyone could give some helpful advise to calm these damn butterflies I would really appreciate it. thanx :)

I've been on several interviews and each one has had previous fa's applying, all with the same voice. They say it's the best job they ever had commenting on the flexible hours. Just think how good it will look on a resume if you decide not to stay with it!! You have to remember, the pay is not so great. If you have some other support then you'll be ok. Many fa's have a second job.

Well the job I have now pays around the same so I'm not really worried about that. But the training, it will be difficult to keep my present employment and go to the training. Ssoo I was wondering just how hard trainng is to prevent you from getting the job.Is it as difficult as I am letting my imagination let it be. Hard work doesn't scare me but I did hear that STUDYING is the killer part of it. Just looking for some GREAT advise to help me decided whether I wanna take Flight or stay Grounded.

EmpressKelly in Huntington Beach, California said: Can you forward me a copy of the 12 steps as well? I'd appreciate it....thank you. FlyingEmpress@gmail.com

Empress - I don't have them. She emailed me but we talked about something else. Like you, I would lOVE to get a copy, though.

Desi in Frisco, Texas said: RJ Hi are you doing was wondering could you send me a copy of the 12 steps also it will really be appreciated.....thanks Desi

Guess we'll just have to keep asking. Maybe someone will come along who doesn't mind sharing. (The earlier email was from a forum friend who talked about something else. I don't think she has them, either).

Ok, now that's I've fully read this page of posts, Lisa says that we don't need to memorize them, so there ya go. I'm letting her be my guide as to what to stress about and what not to stress about.

LIQCANDI - The difficulty that you're reading about IS with the studying and the daily tests. You're only allowed to fail two tests before being sent home. But, that being said, if you have a good record (from school, college, etc.) of being able to study and do well, you'll pass. The people who aren't making it are the ones who are out drinking at night instead of applying themselves, OR the ones who haven't honed their study habits well enough. There will, however, be study groups and everyone helps everyone else.

Would you be able to return to your career if you didn't like training, or could you take a leave of absence perhaps?

can anyone tell me what the chautauqua tests are like? specifically the airport codes? do they give you the city and you have to give them the code or is it reversed? also, is it multiple choice? i'm having a hard time memorizing all these codes...any advice?

Lisa - I can't believe that it's only 5 days!!!! Hang in there, my friend. And when you find out when your IOE will be, let me know - I may nonrev on it to harass you. ;)

D - I don't think the black coat will be approved. I've never seen anything but navy.

Are you having 2nd thoughts? What's up?

AJZ - I can't help with the Chaut. codes specifically, but I do know that if you assign acronyms to them, it helps you to learn some of the ones that don't make any sense. For example: MCO (Orlando) - Micky & Company; MSY (New Orleans) - It was MeSsY after the hurricane, etc. etc. You'll be required to know them backward and forwards, i.e. they'll either give you the city OR the code, and you'll have to come up with the other part of it.

RJ: Be glad you passed on Eos.
Lots of work to that service.
I am way past all that....
I think that is why they hire more on the
22-24 range. It is soooo detailed I got a headache listening to the presentation.
I had temporary ADD... I was totally out of touch with the entire process.
I had to drive today four hours in pouring rain.. floods you name it.

I think I am going to return to my
southern estate and bird watch and smell the marsh air. :)

Im in nursing and well although it wont be hard for me to find employment after the hard part is over, I really like the agency that I am with.Umm,I was considering taking a leave, I will look into that. I've noticed that Chautauqua is based out of STL. I recently met a FA of 18yrs that works with them.He seems to enjoy it.He was my last inspiration of the matter.If you or anyone else that knows some of that "I wish I knew then what I know NOW" comments feel free to e-mail me.Im gonna go to the recruitting because it would be so unlike me to see something I want and not go for it. So I hope to know sum of you soon.
My mind is Made UP.

Hi RJ. Oh, ok, I thought I remembered those at that Delta shop being black, but now that you mention it, I guess it does make sense that they would be blue like the uniforms themself are, duh.

Oh, I don't know, maybe having second thoughts. Maybe it's just the idea of going away to a strange city and all that snow for 3 whole weeks. My husband is waiting to start his new job in Atlanta, so maybe it's just a combination of so many unknowns.

The code test and the first 7 or so are all multiple choice.

by the way all of shuttle got atlanta
chat like 18 or so are going to sdf some to cvg,buf,and lga.
