Hi Everyone,

My name is Jennifer. I am a flight attendant for American Airlines based in STL. I am currently on leave since the birth of our first baby! My husband is a Captain on the CRJ-CL65 for Pinnacle Airlines (dba Northwest Airlink). He just recieved a class date of Nov 7 for AirTran Airways

. So if there are any AirTran families out there I'd love to hear the scoop! We have been married for almost 2 yrs (dated for 5yrs). We have one baby -Katie and a furbaby -Gabby who thinks she a people but is really a cat! I can't belive I didn't hear about this site sooner! I hope to get to know you all!

Welcome!

I'm a furloughed American F/A. Class 01-09, 6 years with Eagle before that. How long have you been with AA? Were you displaced to STL or did you want to be there?

Welcome to the board. It is a fun group. Getting out of NW at the right time it seems. My DH is a rampie for MEsaba.

Kristie · 10-17-2005, 07:47 PM

Welcome Jenn!!

I think it's a fun group too..We just need to start dropping our outside lives so we can all talk more in here! hahahaha

I've got 3 furbabies! altho one of them seems to think she's a dog, follows me everywhere and if i can be found.. she barks trying to get me to bark back!

Welcome to the board!

We are definitly getting out of NW at the right time! Tim was already furloughed once from PCL after 9/11.
I was class 99-40. I actually volunteered to go to STL, since I was getting married and would be living in DTW. STL was closer than DFW. AA also had 6 or 8 flts a day between STL and DTW, that we were supppose to keep. I learned the hard way.... never volunteer for anything at an airline. 3 months after I went to STL they went nuts reduceing our flying. NO more DTW-STL. Do now I'm stuck there I can't get out. At least I have my PLOA's and won't need to go back until Jan (if I go back). Where were you based with AE? My Dh was at Eagle from 98-01, he was based in San Jaun (ATR) and ORD (RJ).

Yeah, that's tough. Commuting can be SUCH a pain.

I was ORD with Eagle my entire time there (Nov 95 - Mar 01). When I went to AA I was ORD initially, but I was 9 days behind all the TWA people, and I got furloughed right away after 9/11. I was in that group that got recalled for 6 months then furloughed again. I got displaced to LGA for my recalled 6 months, and spent those 6 months commuting IND-LGA. It was a horrible commute. I was almost glad to get kicked to the street again.

Why didn't you go to ORD? Even closer to DTW than STL. No transfers available? I remember waiting on that transfer list in 2002 while I was in LGA. There were a few transfers going to ORD the first couple months I was there, but I ended up marooned as the transfer door slammed shut.

With only 5 years recall rights, and 3 of those years gone (my 3rd furlough anniversary was the 15th of this month) I think I can pretty much kiss my career at AMR bye-bye. All the TWA people are in front of me, and while some of them are so old they'll probably be using walkers to get from the airplanes to ops I just don't see the company getting through all the numbers ahead of me within 2 years. It can't happen, there's just too many.

Welcome Jennifer!!
Glad to have you. As mentioned, I am the proud mom of Mackenzie born 5/18. DH is an FO for XJEt based out of IAH. He is currently out with an on the job injury (broken foot).... the captain landed too hard. (at least that's what he tells everyone!)

We have a good time here, and there is a great sense of community and support. Glad you have joined us!
