Hey Doug, every other week or so during football season, the Patriots charter a Delta 767-300, which parks on the ramp here at PVD right next to my flight school's hangar... do you ever work those flights?
 
I don't. We do have charter flights sprinkled throughout the bid package.

They're not altogether very senior as the trip construction can be pretty wacky.
 
Yeah, nothing like getting up at 3 in the morning to fly an empty plane to pick up some people to fly them somewhere to sit for 10 hours to then fly them home and then fly an empty plane back home and get done at 3 in the morning.

THAT'S fun.

Sports charters go senior for the FAs, for the pilots, it's usually reserves being used.

A few years ago, a new hire flight attendant after a little sangria said the following, "Like I don't want to be here when I'm y'alls age... I want to work a sports charter and maybe meet a football player, or I don't know, maybe a baseball player because they're probably nicer, then we could get married and then it'd be so cool to meet all of my girlfriends down at Starbucks with the babies! Wouldn't that be cool y'all?"

Oh...

My...

GODSOMEONESHUTTHISTHINGOFF!

I don't think she survived probation.

Was she hot?
 
Just think Doug, come January, the first of the new FAs will be hitting the line. Time for Part Deux! Maybe they'll finally teach em not to go on an international layover with just $1.49 in their checking account.:dunno:

Hearing about such characters in the Delta flight attendant pool makes it sting all that much more that this college graduate's Delta FA application was rejected in a mere 19 hours after submission.

Did I tell you that story? :)
 
Yeah but just think if you're the hero that saves the damsel from distress, I'm sure she'll repay you somehow, even if she is out of money.....:drool:

What they're looking for is a schmuck to pony up to cover their bill and then you get the SLAM! CLICK! right in your face. (It's what they taught them to do in initial training.)

I doubt ALL of them do that. I worked line service with a CSR that was a former ValuJet F/A, and she expressed great interest in dating a pilot.

They're taught to try to get pilots to pay for their meals or they're taught to slam-click pilots?

Personally, I believe in slam-clicking, in that overnight socializing should be done somewhere other than a hotel room. This is purely for safety reasons, and should only be disregarded if you really know the other person.

Trying to get pilots to pay for ones' meals, however, is nothing but cheap and low-class. I took a lot of pride in the fact that I *always* paid my own check. There were a few times when the guys I was flying with absolutely insisted on paying, and only after refusing the offer TWICE did I allow it upon their absolute insistence. If a F/A tries to pay her own check twice, but the pilot pays it anyway, he then has absolutely NO right to complain about "having" to pay for the F/A's check. And no, insisting on buying my dinner does NOT grant you a hall pass into my pants. Sorry.
