I have a lot of studying to do. Instead I hung out at the hotel bar and ate a burger with other people who were trying to drink a bit before it turned 9pm. (company policy is that a crew member has to stop drinking at least 12 hours before scheduled duty and we have class at 9 am). I did not drink because I was planning on studying and am tired enough to feel tipsy already. Then I made a phone call, took a shower and am now dinking around on my hackintosh.
But I will study after this.
Today we learned all about the FAA rules for special assist passengers (handicapped, kids, elderly) and Flight Attendant Standards and Requirements and carry ons. Who knew there was so much to learn?
Where are canes and crutches stowed? Why is there a carry-on limit? What is the chain of command on a flight? What 6 items must a FA have or they're not allowed to fly? Now multiply these questions by 200 and then memorize them. It's strangely fascinating.
Today a friend asked me if ground school would be a good reality show. There is NO doubt it would. No doubt at all. I'm already dreaming up drama that has to happen before this is over.
There were just fireworks going off about a mile away. I could see them just barely top the trees behind the hotel. Today I celebrate the loss of all holidays for the next few years - if I actually end up as a FA. But happy day for the rest of you free and brave. Eat a hot dog for me.
