What did you wish you knew when you were a new AFF instructor? Also what are some of your best student stories, funny things they said or did?

Ok guys flight attendant here those bathrooms are gross you don't want to take a black light in there. I don't think its illegal. No I have never caught people doing it but then again after service I just might be taking a break reading blue skies mag

I have a jumper friend that is a flight attendant.
A few years ago I was in an aisle seat & noticed her coming down the row. I put a newspaper up pretending to read & told the guy next to me "Hey buddy, watch this!"
As she passed by I grabbed her ass.
She reeled around with her hand cocked back to smack some shit, recognized me, then gave me a hug & asked if I wanted a beer.
The guy next to me had his jaw in his lap.

Haha love that

It can occasionally work. I was a passenger and met my wife on the plane – been married 17 years now with two children. In the conversation:

me: “I’d guess you flight attendants get asked out all the time”

hostie: “No, not really”

me: “so if we go out to dinner, it will be the first time?”

hostie: blushes

me: “I’m serious, we should go out to dinner”

Awe that's awesome

When I boarded a flight and told the flight attendant i couldn't find seat A 20 she was like thats the gate we are at. Meanwhile I'm standing there in my flight attendant uniform face palm

I need to learn some witty things to say

Memorize a non 800 number for the airline.

Bonus points if you get a guys number, then give it to the next guy who asks.

that's great but I'm to nice I would feel bad especially if they were nice

Tonight's guy was a lot more persistent

Me "what can I get you to drink?"

Pax " XX and your number"

I laugh bc I think I heard him right but not 100%"

I bring back the XX

Pax says " you forgot your number"

He tried a few more times. At least he was nice about it though.

So, how'd it work out for him?

Well I'm easy going so I laughed but he went on his way.

It's actually very common for prisoners to have pin palls. As odd as this might sound is'a actually a thing. There is like a fetish for this. They actually have dating web sites for prison inmates were people can contact them. People that are that isolated are very vulnerable. People pray on them and vice versa. This is at least a relatively safe place to try and find her some one to correspond with. Most people in that situation face depression issues. Any type of contact from out side her situation will most likely be very welcome. Positive reinforcement that there is still a real and healthy world out side of the one that she is locked in will be valuable to her. Contact with healthy well adjusted people in positive situations can be one of the best things for people whose lives have gone off course. If you are surrounded by criminals, addicts, and the mentally ill then you tend to get caught up in their world where it's normal to steal, lie, assault, use, etc. This more then any thing else is the failing of the prison, mental health systems. If you house them all together, which is very convenient, think warehouse, then you're just going to reinforce every thing that got them there. If we were really serious about these problems we would try to intervene earlier by placing them in better more integrated environments. But nobody really wants to do that. No one wants to hire a worker with a criminal back ground or have them living in our communities. Not to mention to profit motivations.

Bottom line is your sister is going to have a really steep up hill climb ahead of her before she can get her life back together. Any type of positive reinforcement will help. But be careful with who she winds up in contact with. If she declares that she's in love with one of them and they are engaged to be married you'll know she's in trouble.

Well I don't think she needs a love interest for sure right now. Just someone who she can chat with, but I don't know how to go about finding someone. I wish she would spend her money on jumping lol. This is a pic from her 21st bday. I said lets go skydiving she was down.

***It is a shame and a waste that we lock up addicts in this country. They need treatment not punishment. Our war on drugs destroys lives and costs untold sums of money.

Has your sister looked into any educational correspondent courses? Maybe she can take this time to better herself for when she gets out.

Exactly. The ones that need to be locked up are drug makers. The addicts are just victims fell for a momentarily pleasure, and they need positive support from all sides to get through this crisis instead of being placed behind bars in solitary confinement to think about "what they have done wrong." I just wrote a letter for her by the way. Going to mail it out by Friday night. Don't know if I should put some Hershey's bars in the mail or would they be confiscated upon arrival?

Good luck to your family, speed healing.
Oh and pretty sure they will eat the hersey bar

Thanks so much Iceman She will love it.

So I have to stay at the over wing exit and brief pax (passengers) and some come on and I guess they don't want to wait for me to start. So they will just inform me before that they are willing able. Yesterday this guy comes on and says before he even sits down

Pax "I say yes to all your commands"

Me " are you sure? I don't know if you want to say that"

Pax " how long are you in St. Louis?"

Me

I couldn't agree more. I think they do offer some education. It is terrible that our prison system is for profit, fill the beds ugh.

***Drugs :( Been in and out since 15yrs. now 34 sucks big time. I hate what it does to people.

Hate to hear that. How did she get started in the first place? Didn't get along with the parents? Fell in with the wrong crowd?

Hope this is it for her. When she gets out, stay on the narrow and straight.

But to answer your question, yes. There are pen pals between prisoners and people on the outside.



Yes got in with the wrong crowd. I hope this is it too, but she has to want it and so far it's been in, out, in, out. I have tried to help but I can only offer so much.

Ok crazy question does anything likethis exist? My sister is currently in prison and she is lonely she asked if I knew anyone who could write her. I told her I would look into it.

Thanks guys any help would be greatly welcomed.

Anyone here feel free to write her about anything if your heart wishes.

I work as a flight attendant sometimes we get assigned airport standby where we go sit at the airport on call. We are there for immediate work,so if someone calls in sick, miss connects, stuck in traffic, weather hits etc. the flight can still go out on time

***Also you guys could give me some jokes that I can play on crew members and passengers on the plane. Always looking to have fun.

A briefcase with road flares, wires and a push button, along with a note demanding $200k $1,188,567.84 and 2 parachutes would be funny...

To us anyway.

Yikes I prob wouldn't have a job if i did that

***well I guess I'm going to Boston.

They haven't told you for sure where they are taking you?

Well I mean you always hope you end up where you were told but you know sometimes you don't.
