Have you all looked in the want ads lately? What used to be 2 pages in the Sunday paper, there is now a half a column. Flight departments are ridding themselves of aircraft, flight attendants who retire, are not being replaced. The ones who remain work harder and more days. They are happy to have a job.
Aviation has served me well, but at present, it is heartbreaking. We all did love the flush times. So what am I going to do being laid off? I am going to leave it alone for a while. It will come back, I think around may 2009. I have a severance and i am going to learn how to collect unemployment.
I am going back to school and maybe take 1 or 2 trips that I have already committed to. I cannot depend on something that is not there. I have called around and it is stagnant. People NEED nurses, doctors and medical personnel. Flights are leaving with no flight attendants now, the owners do not want to pay the added expenses. Do not wait for the phone to ring, (it may during the upcoming Super Bowl), you have to find something else for a while. any thoughts?
