So we went back to our hotel, showered and got dressed for work. It was eleven forty-five when our squadron started for the base. We did not have a car, so we had to walk. It was only about a five minute walk though. On the way to work the rest of our squadron informed us that they had seen us trying to surf and thought in was the funniest thing they had every seen. Mike and I were quite embarrassed and quickly tried to change the subject, but they could not get over how entertaining we had been…

Continental Airlines flight 1065 from New York to Mexico City. “Excuse me, Mrs. Flight-Attendant Lady, I do not think that I am able to sit in the Emergency Exit Row of this airplane.” They had told us to go ahead and speak up. She looks at me like I have to be crazy, like she’d never heard this before, she looks for missing arms and says “Why are you not able?” and I say, “Because I don’t really want that responsibility. I seriously believe that in the highly unlikely event that I, or anyone…

In the recent year, United States airlines having been outsourcing their planes to becoming regional airlines. They are using cheaper tactics to get people to ride on their planes but are using crew members with lesser qualifications and want less pay to create a profit to their airlines, making the their passengers feel in danger and not safe what so ever. The Continental flight 3407 that crashed in 2010, happened because the pilot that they hired wasn't even owned by the Continental company…

sea. The Pacific Ocean’s “...bottom was littered with downed warplanes and ghosts of lost airmen. Every day of this long and ferocious war, more would join them.” (pg.70) When airmen is flying into a battle, they are putting their life at risk. An aircraft could be shot from land and its wing could be torn off or it could be shot in the gasoline tanks and explode. Weather also made flying difficult. Foggy and stormy days “...reduced visibility to zero...” (pg.85) This was a safety hazard for…

receiving federal loans from the government, their initial request was cut by over half. Since the attack happened on an airplane, airlines knew people were going to be terrified to fly again. They knew 9/11 was going to take a major toll on the industry but they had no other choice but to push through. They had employees counting on them to keep them employed so they could support their families, along with people still needing to travel for business and even the people brave enough to travel…

Crew Resource Management (CRM), what is it and why is it necessary to have it in place? The CRM was designed and implemented after two tragic incidents in aviation, that resulted in death and the destruction of two United Airlines aircraft. Incidents and crashes happen, weather and time do not always dictate when they are going to happen, but some could have possibly been avoided or may be handled more effectively and safely if the CRM was in use at that time. Unfortunately, at times it takes…

It all started with me in the car heading to the Chicago airport. My stomach is quessy and feels like I have millions of butterflies in my stomach from excitement.
