As I am meeting my fellow trainees I am finding some very interesting reasons for becoming a flight attendant.
Indianapolis (by way of Australia) - Was a Virgin Air Flight Attendant over 10 years ago. Started a new relationship after a long time alone and now needs a new career. Has a fantastic Aussie accent.
Portland - Sleep Number Bed salesman ended a 5 year committed relationship, quits job as depression continues to cut his salary, went from 43k per year down to less than 25k. Sells everything(except his sleep # bed) for pennies on the dollar. Ships bed to his parents house for long term storage as he plans on living the FULL TIME job of a FA. Has no worldy-possessions other than clothes he brought to SLC.
Unknown - Mother of two Army Soldiers, spouse has been in Iraq since 2004(civilian job), signs up to be FA so she can travel the world and not be at home alone worrying.
Longmont - Spouse and Mother not happy with lack of love in the house. gets the job to show she can be away as much as everyone else.
San Antonio - Just bored with life. Was a flight attendant in the 70's for Hawaiian Air. thought it might be fun again, now that we are 10 years past 9/11.
San Antonio - Fiance was caught cheating 3 months before wedding. Wedding planner gets jilted by law school graduate 4 months before big date. 10-2 Wedding planned with $10k in deposits paid by daddy. June 15 the bride catches soon to be husband with hickeys on his body, groom denies at first saying he "burned" himself. She didn't believe him of course, but only after long conversations with friends did she dump him saying, "If he cheated on me as a bride-groom, what's to stop him from cheating on me as a wife?"
Bride is now happy again even though Daddy lost over $7k in non-refundable deposits. AND get this, she returned the engagement ring.
Stay tuned for more adventures of FA Madness
