Hello Reader, Welcome to this week’s Crew Briefing. This week is a reminder that you do not need perfect circumstances to take care of yourself. You just need a few simple habits and a couple of smart tools. Today we are talking about rest, naps, and being comfortable even when the operation is not. Summer is coming, and I don’t need a crystal ball to tell me there will be meltdowns. They seem to happen every single summer at different airlines. 🛫 Who’s Hiring Flight Attendants Allegiant...

Hello Reader, Welcome to week two of March. We have officially shifted into longer days, which always feels like a fresh start, even if you are still attached to winter like I am. March is what I call probation season. Did you know that during your first six months of flying, you are usually on probation? That is the window where you protect your record by staying reliable. Perfect attendance and on-time performance go a long way. Habits that make professionalism feel automatic. We are...

Hello Reader, ✈️ Welcome Aboard Welcome to March, one of the most meaningful months in my journey as a flight attendant. Lately, my classmates and I have been celebrating our 20-Year Anniversary, reminiscing about the day we first donned our wings. We started training on January 28, 2006, and I’ll never forget the excitement, and nerves, as we graduated on March 1. That's me on the top right looking out the window of the cabin trainer. Happy 20th Anniversary, 0604! Thinking back, I’m reminded...

Hello Reader, ✈️ Welcome Aboard As you may remember, February is my favorite month, and this particular week always makes me reflective. Not in a dramatic memoir kind of way. Just grounded. My birthday was on Tuesday. Yes, I am getting older. But age is a privilege. Not everyone gets the gift of another year. Longevity in this career is built on small decisions. On knowing when to maximize something. On knowing when to protect something. One of the important lessons I learned as a flight...

Hello Reader, ✈️ Welcome Aboard February has always been my favorite month, and if you’ve been here for any length of time, you already know that about me. This month holds a lot for me. It’s Black History Month. It’s my birthday month. It includes Valentine’s Day, my wedding anniversary, and even profit sharing. And over the years, each of those moments has brought a lesson that has shaped me as a flight attendant and as a person. Every February, I tell these stories again, not because they...

Hello Reader, ✈️ Welcome Aboard If you were flying in the US over the weekend or into Monday, you felt it. Across the country, there were close to 20,000 flight cancellations. We got over 24 inches of snow here in the Appalachian Mountains, and I want more. I love snow and I can't get enough of it. Winter reminded everyone who’s really in charge. Speaking of who’s in charge, this morning, just as I sat down at my desk to start work, my coworker peeked out at me from behind my laptop and...

Hello Reader, With January well underway, I want to pause and recognize the dedication you’ve already shown. Consistency matters more than getting it all done overnight, and every step you take counts. Personally, this week brought its own set of challenges, reminding me that progress isn’t always bold or rapid. Often, it’s found in quiet reflection, caring for yourself, and staying grounded as you keep moving forward at your own pace. That’s momentum, too. Whether you’ve been preparing...
