SA FA in Atlanta, Georgia said: Girl, you are are just like me, that is why I had to pre warn you about over packing. Whenever I travel, I always take too much with me. When I went to training for SA, I took entirely too many clothes. Clothes I didn't need. I even had shoes I didn't need. I do suggest you do take at least 2 pairs of jeans. Don't forget you jammies. I did take quite a few pairs of jammies for lounging around my room and hotel. If you need help let me know.

SA FA, How are you doing today? I hope all is well. I'm seriously taking your advised....I went looking for those hangers today at BedBathnBeyond and found them. I'm still trying to figure out how I will not go over 50lbs. I can't wait to hear Cleveland plans. I also see that you are in GA and wanted to know if you got your based that's if it was GA. Please email me at Pchaniesa@hotmail.com. Thanks again for the heads up!!!! We are all such wonderful team players on this site!

Look forward to talking to you via email.

dbsings4u in Louisville, Kentucky said: Well we all received our bases today. I was hoping for Louisville but I got St. Louis. Do you think they just mis-understood? :) It does sound a lot alike. :) Oh well, hopefully I won't have to wait too long before I get my hometown base. There were about 7 out of 21 that got their first choice and the shut down of Denver certainly had a lot to do with that because all of those people would have prior known in advance to have put in their bids outside of Denver prior to the decision being made for June bases and they had seniority over us. It will most definitely affect anyone getting ready to come to training as well, so I wouldn't get my hopes up about getting your first choice. St. Louis was my 4th choice.
It was really neat that one of the girls that did get her 1st choice was celebrating her birthday today, so that was certainly a great present. I think she's been on the forum, Kim from Houston.

We're off tomorrow and quite a few of us had a blast tonight at Buffalo Wild Wings. I think some of you know I sing or if you didn't you might have picked up on it by my screen name. Anyway, they had karaoke, so I got to SING! That certainly made my day. Well, I'm signing off for now. Blessings!

Hello dbsings4u,
I am so sorry u didn't get your base but the good thing about this is that you can bid every month. Another thing again is way to go, you n the rest have made it thus far. I am so proud of you guys....can't wait for our turn. Seems like it's creeping up so fast. Just the other day we were like gosh!! May 30th and now it's coming faster then you would think:)
So, I see you sung huh! That must have been so much fun...wish I was there to sing with you....ha ha ha
I also read where you had all those things and also how you were over your limit. Thanks for the advised as well, I'm taking all into consideration....but gosh, SA FA really got me thinking...

I want to bring all of them bcuz I have one blue and one black for pants and one blue one black for skirt and dresses....now I'm stuck. I bought these purposefully for work and nothing else....already got hundreds (if there's such a word:)) of shoes in my closet!!!!!!!!!!

Did you get it?

Yes, I did receive it and I've already tried to phone you at the number, and left you a voice mail. Oh and it gets better, I have since e-mailed you and switched over to the forum and read this post and now have responded and "WHERE ARE YOU"

Hey Fab,

I've been away for the past few hours. Like you, I brought 4 pairs of new shoes and only wore one pair. On my off day(s), we went shopping and that didn't help things. When I came back my bag weighed 60lbs. WOW!!! They didn't tell me to re do my bags or anything. Do you know what airline you are flying on to Indy? Also, when I was in training, my whole class got ATL, but the class after us got scattered between the 4 bases for SA. Please keep in mind, if you don't get your first choice, you can keep bidding until you get it. Good Luck in training.

anybody look at the movie, the aviary...

Cleveland Area said: Hey there Pink!

Hope all is absolutely wonderful and that you're just FLYING through training. I'm not one to assume much of anything and would appreciate, if you can confirm that there are hair dryers as well as ironing boards and irons in our rooms. Thanks in advance!!!

Hey Cleveland...i wish i could answer your question of the hairdryers, etc...however I am actually from Indy so I am not staying at the hotel. :( Our graduation is Monday! We took our last written test today..other than the final...we have 18 of 29 remaining...It FLEW by...i cant beleive we are already graduating on Monday, then i have my OE on wednesday.

For those of you waiting on republic:\

We were informed by our republic instructors, as well as the senior manager of inflight yesterday that as far as republic...there will not be any classes until July or August. Keeep your hopes up tho, because they might call u guys for those classes! Good luck to everyone about to go into training! :)

AMEN! NEVER, NEVER can you have enough shoes :). One thing to note is that they will let you get away with flats being worn with a skirt during training and on the airplane and flats can be worn with pants any time.

Oh yes, that would have been even more fun. As it was, I was the only one out of our group of about 14 there that night that sang, but we all got up as a group to sing the song "Stand Back" by Stevie Nicks. I won't tell you why because it'll spoil the surprise for any Chautauqua people.

I can't believe you guys are finished. Kudos to you guys hanging tough and completed training. I hope you get a really good OE trip. 18 out of 29 has me a little nervous. I am looking forward to starting classes on the 30th. I feel like we have gone through training with you guys and once again, a job well done.

wow...18 out of 23...wow..that is scary..so what happend to the others, they failed, sent home?

Everyone in this class graduates this tuesday...we all passed 12 steps and just awaiting for final on tuesday and to finally come home. We got ID,OE info and our uniforms.

what is the ID? congratulations..!!...the 12 steps was hard?

uniqueborn2fly in Fort Lauderdale, Florida said: wow...18 out of 23...wow..that is scary..so what happend to the others, they failed, sent home?

We had like 2 ppl that had some family issues they needed to be at home for, 3 ppl that showed up late for class, adn everyone else had used their 2 retakes and didn't pass whichever test after with a 90 or higher...its crazy how small our class is now..we lost 11 total..our final exam is tomorrow. We're also getting our wings, etc. :) We got OE schedules today and all that jazz...makes it all real! Its verrry exciting tho! Almost our entire class was based in Indy--12 indy, 2 philly, and 4 dc. They said ppl never get indy for republic but i guess with the whole Denver closing a lot of the FAs chose to go to Columbus, etc...works out for me and the like 6-8 ppl in my class that wanted indy for a base! Well...off to study :)

RJ WHERE ARE U????

Steve - How sweet of you to ask about me. Have you changed your screen name?
Ok, here's the scoop on me. I've stayed off the forum because I resigned from SA two weeks ago, and didn't want to bring anyone down. Also, I have a friend who is currently in training, and I didn't want her to know until after she had graduated - I was afraid that it would upset her. However, I'm doing fine, and extend congrats and lots of good wishes to those getting ready to start.

What about you?

Were any of you in the Wednesday session in IND? How did it go? I had a great time and really liked this company alot. I chose SA with Republic as a back up...how about you all ...when did they say you would hear back?

Carrie - You're too kind - thank you. No, it's not a secret. I was just unlucky enough to be one class too late to get based in ATL, and then a couple of other things happened that just piled up on top of one another and led to my decision to leave. I got hurt on my IOE, and by the time I returned home from that trip, I was also very, very sick (which they warned us would probably happen - I just didn't think it would happen to me. :) Anyway, scheduling was already contacting me to report back to IND, and in order to fully recover I would have incurred quite a few "occurences" in order to recuperate at home. They're very strict about missing days (even with a doctor's note), so I went ahead and resigned rather than have a tarnished work record and possibly be "let go" (which never looks good on a resume).

Sorry - that was my post above - forgot to change the name from the last user. :)

Well guys I am not going to be on the May class, spoke to Corina, and we agreed on being on the next class that open for SA in June, or July, hopedfully!..keeping my firgers cross, she also explained that the cost of fuel,and Denver closing, ect its a big reason for cancelling class, but we must keep our eyes open, because they will be opening soon.
SO.KEEP POSITIVE.
THAT HELP..!!!!!1

Sorry that happend to you..did the plane got u sick, or what exactly?

Unique sorry to hear about that. But at least you get to be in the next classes. I wish I would of chose Shuttle. I'm still waiting on Republic... who knows if i'll ever hear anything about that...

I think, since you just went to the inteview, and you havent receive a call, You still can change your preference, by emailing whoever interview you, or calling, its not too late.

Really! Well I'm not sure who I should contact. Corina?

At an open house all day affair do they do a physical?

You can contact Corina, and let see what she says, You can try, nothing is wrong with trying..

keep in touch,let me know

Republic Airways Holdings doesn't physicals at the openhouse interviews Bitsy.

NO PHYSICAL....BUT THEY DO LOOK AT YOU FROM HEAD TO TOE.
LOL

Thanks Unique I will call today.

ANYTIME..LOL..

Did they cancel the classes for SA for now? thanks..

Oh, no - not airsickness. Apparently it's not unusual to pick up viral infections when you're new. You're in that enclosed space with all of those people, you're handling their cups, etc., and it's the perfect time to catch something. Plus, your immune system is a wreck from the past 3 weeks of stress from training, so you're a walking invitation to every germ out there. I actually got sick the day before my last trip ended, and by the time I was finished, my ears were completely stopped up and I couldn't hear a thing. I still had to deadhead home from NY, and knew that I shouldn't fly (for fear of blowing an eardrum), but you know how it is when you're sick - you just want to get home, so that's what I did. The pain was excrutiating - lesson to be learned - NEVER fly when you're congested.

RJ, I am so sorry! I understand because your health is very important. I hope you're recovering well and maybe apply for another airline. GoJet is hiring and also a few more airlines and maybe you will luck up and get based at home. Goodluck and don't be a stranger. Thanks for all the good info and another carrier will be lucky to have you.

Awwwww. Thanks Juanita. Those Republic airplanes are so nice, as were the people. I have some valuable memories.

I am not sure, but its seems that they are canceling some classes, for Sa, Ch, and Rep.

HOPED YOU FEEL BETTER..RJ..YOUR HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT, THAN ANYTHING ELSE...

uniqueborn2fly in Fort Lauderdale, Florida said: I am not sure, but its seems that they are canceling some classes, for Sa, Ch, and Rep.

Who told you they were cancelling classes other than the Republic classes? Is this something you assumed because the last time this discussion came up it caused some negative energy on this forum. This forum was to designed to bring everybody together. We have learned some valuable informaton but I would like to believe that they are facts. I talKed to Corinna and she was posiive nothing has changed for the May Shuttle class. I would like to believe they wouldn't wait until we arrved to find out training has been cancelled.

Hey Juanita,

You go girl!!! I'm with you this forum is all about "POSITIVE" and "ENCOURAGING". So all "NEGATIVITY" and "DISCOURAGEMENT" STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel quite sure that if they were cancelling our May training classes they would inform those of us whom are scheduled for training first!!!

Hey RJ,

Like you, I got extremely sick and was off from work several weeks. That was one occurence. As long as you call out before your trips or advise them you will be off for whatever trips and let them know you will be faxing a doctors note, that would be one occurence. Like you, I resigned from SA. Everyone that is going to training or hope to be going to training, SA is a great company and you will do well. I had other things going on and I too, chose to resign. I wish everyone the best of luck and keep those heads up while in training.
