Just wait til next month. I seriously doubt that any of us will see significant flight time. There are a gazillion of us on reserve. Id guess about 200 on reserve... I could be ...

ASA

Yeah that was for non contract employees, if I read it correctly.

ASA

Nope, back on reserve. Quite a few above me went back on reserve, too. There will be a ton of us on reserve next month, so Im pretty sure we wont be flying alot ... p>

ASA

Thanks Bill! Thats my 2nd time in a little over a month, I was pretty excited to see it. Now if I only knew what pax sent the letter in!

ASA

I dont think so. I think it just means that if you live in PNS like me, you cant use it coming from GRR or SYR. I could be wrong, but thats what I have been told.

ASA

I submitted the form. It defaulted the date to Sept 19th for me. I put in PNS, VPS and MOB for my commuting stations.

ASA

Its good 2x. You have to list 3 airports you can commute from. If you cant make it to duty in, you have to show that you listed for 2 flights prior and that there were seats ...

ASA

Yep, but not with ASA. DOH is the date you started training.

ASA

I didnt say your last name. Donna Jones Smith Brown....yeah...thats it :)

ASA

Oh...you were talking about CRJJ.... I was referring to RJ. Toooooo many RJ names on here. I have no idea who CRJJ is.

ASA

Her name is Donna. She's not afraid for people to know her name. She has posted her name on other posts.

ASA

Joe...not being mean, you got alot of time on your hands! ;)

ASA

heartkin - Im in the panhandle of Florida - keeping my eye on Fay. I have to commute in Sunday morning for a late afternoon report that day. I may be having to go up Saturday ...

ASA

Thats too funny. Ive made some of the best friends with my pilots on trips. There have been a handful of trips where I didnt become friends with and stay in touch with at least ...

ASA

You know whats so funny about it.... Were told that pilots are only after one thing, but they are told that we (f/a's) are only after their money. what money??? haha!

ASA

But Bill, youre not a pilot :)

Ill look out for you, Heartkin. Im looking for myself too.... I prefer the younger ones, or as RJ puts it - "Puppy Pilot". Since ...

ASA

Its been great being a line holder. Im 95% sure that I am going back on reserve next month though...

ASA

Bill - I dont know where you have heard the possible furlough rumors but I have never heard them. Of course its on the back of everyones minds, but the part time and TOWOP are ...

ASA

OK....Bill, I see the same emails that you do. But I do know that this is just a reduction in the flying FOR NOW, not forever. The summer flying ends the 18th, so it will be slow ...

ASA

I do agree with Bill saying that ASA has too many f/a's right now. They are offering Voluntary Reserve Day Drops to line up with the need.

ASA

Amen RJ! Ive heard that things will start to pick up around Thanksgiving. Beginning of the year is a good estimate, RJ. :)

ASA

We got a raise. We start at $16.50 (I think thats what it is now) and $1.60 perdiem.

ASA

Well CRJJ... Thats the way it it supposed to be, but as with everything in this industry it changes at the drop of a hat.

ASA

Got a line in 4 months. Not usual. i only got it because of the TOWOP that was offered. I am sure that I, along with many others above me, will be back on reserve when the ...

ASA

Yes, the contract was mailed to my house. I have emails that I have gotten from the union in the past highlighting the changes. If you want them let me know and I will email them ...

ASA

Yes, got one from the union. I just got off a 3 day trip. Exhausted by it.

ASA

I GOT A LINE FOR AUGUST!!! I might as well enjoy it while I have it, cause I am sure come September I will be at scheduling's beck and call again.

BTW, the new contract was ...

ASA

I agree 100% Bill ... p>

Yes, I have a crashpad. Its not bad, its $175/month.

ASA

On reserve the monthly guarantee is 70 hours. You dont get 75 guarantee until you are a line holder.

ASA

As far as the bag.... yes that is typical of what you have to endure. Not being ugly or mean, but if you are sweating over a 40# bag, not a good start. I have lifted some heavy ...

ASA

I am an ASA f/a and I love it. This is NOT a job you do for the money. If you are looking to make money, head on down the road...being a f/a is not the job for you. Ive spent ...

Delta - Been There Done That

RJ - I support your decision. I miss you. We so need to get together. I seem to be flying all the time. I need to call you and catch up. Did I tell you that I miss you?

ASA

Update from the line...

Almost a month since I got my wings and I am still loving every second of it.

Patty - Evac drills arent that hard. Just pay attention and ...

ASA

We were told only 1 set of parents. You need to bring marriage certificates to show that you arent adding just anyone. Heck, I had to bring a birth certificate for my oldest son ...

ASA

They can fly by themselves.

Feel free to email me at maryshank@gmail.com and ask any questions you want. I dont always check this board, so I want to make sure that your ...

ASA

I believe you can only list 1 father and 1 mother.... Choose which ones you like better... :)

I so need to watch this movie!

[QUOTE who="Erin in Jacksonville, Florida"]Hello to all, for those already in class, did they test you on the departure announcement the first day? Thanks,everything is ...

ASA

[QUOTE who="Soon to be FA in Daytona Beach, Florida"]I am surprised at that. Wow. And the flight benefits...do they allow a significant other to fly free or just family ...

ASA

If your parents dont use it, you forfeit the benefits.

ASA

If you arent married, you can have a companion.

ASA

Its 15.65/hr to start and 1.50 per diem. Guarantee is 70 hours, I believe.

ASA

Soon to be FA...hahaha! No they ar far from those figures.

2008 DELTA'S NEW FLIGHT ATTENDANT ACADEMY STINKS

Wow Robin...I thought they had ceased hiring due to the buyouts and layoffs. Be careful taking a job when they are offering buyouts and layoffs. I know DL is a good airline, just ...

Come Be A Delta New Hire!

I thought DL wasnt hiring again due to the layoffs that they announced.

ASA

Departure Announcement

ASA

They tell you reserve is 15 months. But its about 6-8 months right now, but that can change with hiring, people leaving, schedules, etc. Your travel bennies start at 30 days ...

ASA

The tests are multiple choice. Too easy as far as I am concerned. I would have felt or challenged had they made us actually think of the answer instead of giving it to us in the ...

ASA

I have a 22 and its too big for the CRJ200 and the ATR. I have to put it in the cargo. In the CRJ700, it can fit in the galley.

Im not the one with the test for the city ...

ASA

Flying on Delta - if youre on ASA its free, if you are on another DCI flight or mainline they are looking at charging a small fee.

In Augusta, I stayed at the Partridge Inn ...
