[THINGS THAT I DISCOVERED NOW THAT I AM OLDER]
I started out with nothing and still have most of it. My wild oats have turned into prunes and All Bran. I finally got my head together and my body is falling apart. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded. If all is lost, where is it? It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere. The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom. ABOUT ME I'm a very personal person. I'm looking to better my life, since I've been on a rocky road and struggled all my life. I'm working on my career now, and would like to work on my faith in God, and meet a true friend. WHAT I LOOK FOR IN OTHER PEOPLE: I like interesting and sincere people who are honest. Respect, openness, patient, and optimist people are fun and I look for these characteristics in friends. THINGS I LIKE I like going to school, iceskating, quiet evenings warm and comfortable and making love to my man. I love meeting new true, good friends and doing the best of whatever I am doing. THINGS I DON'T LIKE I don't like being lied to. I don't like dealing with people with bad tempers. Any kind of a abuse to others or oneself. I don't like showoffs in a bad situation.

5:12 PM 2/22/2009 The Flight Attendant hour and schedule is very hard to explain. First thing I must ask you to do, is throw out everything you think you know about overtime, normal days, and even what is an hour of pay.... Everything you know is wrong in this career if you compare it to any other job out there. Okay, having said that. Let's get some definitions.. Trip = 1 Hour of Pay.... It is a formula based number usually depending on how many miles you are flying combined with time in the actual air. Overtime = Not 40 hours a week, overtime relates to certain times in the company schedule when they are short on working flight attendants, and they offer entire trips at premium or overtime pay. Alright.... a Flight Attendant bids on his/her schedule for the next month and based upon what the senior people above you bid, you get your line of time. A Line of time, is an entire months schedule of flying. So let's say you get Friday-Sunday 3 Day Trips.... Your first trip comes up that month and it is three days long starting on Friday, ending on Sunday and pays 25 TFP or (Trips for Pay) or 25 Hours (if you feel better that way). Even though you are gone from Friday till Sunday, you are only getting paid for 25 Hours of work. Flight Attendants are NOT paid unless they are flying. There are other pay considerations like Per Diem, which is around $2.00 per hour at most carriers. This pay is non-taxable and starts the minute you check-in on Friday and stops after you arrive on Sunday. Basically around $48 per day on top of what you already make. There are no 9-5 positions, however they are some schedules that usually go senior and they are single day trips, which mean you go out and come back on the same day. Usually these trips are about 10 hours from check-in to release time, however pay around 7 Trips For Pay (TFP). So, even though you were gone alot more than 110 Hours during the month, your pay of 110 TFP's is your pay for that month. To make you feel a little bit better, most flights pay more than the length of the flight. For example, a 3 hour flight, usually pays around 3.6-4.0 TFP. Add three flights per day at this pay rate and it more than makes up for the difference. I hope this answers some questions, however I feel it may have created more questions than answered LOL -Chris Compiled Messages Topic: Week 1 Discussion Question Date: Monday, February 2, 2009 Subject: Re:Week 1 Discussion Author: Christopher Click Alicia,
