Change!
Because of operational needs, my class date has been moved! All the way to January 23rd. I cant believe it. I was so so ready to go and get this started! But it does have so positives.
1. I can wait the 3 months between my tattoo sessions. The doctor said 3 months minimum but I was going to do it in 2.
2. If my interview goes well with American Eagle (the express for American Airlines) and they do offer me a job, it will be so much easier to say yes to them if I am not in training for Mesa.
3. I get to be here for Jeremy's birthday, Halloween, Nicole's birthday and Christmas.
Im just so so so anxious to get this started!

Interview
Today randomly I got an email inviting me to interview with American Eagle Airlines. For shits and giggles I am going to go. The are paying for my flight so why not?! Ill be going September 24th and coming home the 25th. Short but sweet. I will be in Dallas Texas. I like the hubs they have better then what Mesa offers, but if I do by some miracle get the AE job, I probably wont find out until after I have entered training for Mesa. But I think its a good experience to have!

Beginning of my new life
This new blog will chronicle my life as a flight attendant for Mesa Air Group. So many new thing are going to start happening and I am excited and scared! Well I think Ill start this blog at the very beginning showing how I got started ect.
Jeremy and I were flying back from Chicago after watching my best friend Ally graduate from college, and he asked me what I really wanted to do with my life, and I looked at him and said I want to fly. I want to be in the sky, I want to be a flight attendant. He told me that it is a perfect fit and I would be amazing at it.
So after about a week or so of finally figuring out what I wanted to do, I had a house party and my bestie Nicole brought a guy to the party and I was talking to him and he told me that Skywest was hiring. I went online and applied, a week or so later I got an email invinting me to an open interview session in Fresno CA. I was so excited! My mom took me out to get a new suit and look professional. I love my new suit! (new suit jump). I went to Fresno and on the flight I talked to the flight attendant on my flight the whole way. She was amazing to talk to, gave me great advise to get through the interview process.
The day after the flight was the interview. I woke up super early to get ready. I got in and then it began. I was in a room of about 110 people. (they had about 3 rooms that size) and the first part we had to listen to the job description blah blah blah. Then the 2nd part was the "interview" I use the term interview lightly because what it was it that we got up in front of everyone and sell ourselves for 30 seconds. So after sitting in that room listening to everyone (about 2 hours) we got a break while the HR people decided on people they wanted to bring back for a one on one interview. Well I was not chosen, which bummed me out way bad. But only 75 of the 300+ people got chosen.
When I got back to my room I saw that I had an email from Frontier Airlines asking me to also come out for an interview in Denver CO. So I booked a flight for that next week. Also a couple days later Mesa Air Group also sent me an email to join them in Arizona that next week. So i had 2 interviews in one week in 2 different cities! I was ecstatic!
On monday June 23rd 2012 I flew in to Denver for my interview with Frontier. I went to the Frontier interview and when I checked in they said it wasn't for flight attending but for basically a cleaning crew. Somehow in the application process things got mixed up, I showed them my email from them that said it was for flight attending. All they did was say that they were sorry. So i had to spend the day in Denver.
After that crazy-ness I headed to Arizona for Mesa interview. Oh my it was so different then the Skywest interview. There were a total of 14 people not 300. We sat through the job description again, and then got a break until they called us in one by one. I was one of the last ones. During the first presentation they kept talking about what a big deal it was to have all your important documents. They required us to bring our Drivers Licence. And my luck I got in there and couldn't find it for the life of me! I had used it to get on the plane that morning, and to rent the car. My credit card was in my purse, but not my ID I was freaking. She let it go and we continued my interview.
After I was so so so upset. I knew I had blew it. So I got home and just kept looking online for FA jobs. Not easy!
My birthday came and went and on August 10th I got an email from Mesa informing me that I had been selected for the final interview! I was so excited!
The final interview was done over the internet on a site called oovoo. Like skype but I like it more! I felt it went ok, not great but not horrible. Pearl (the HR director) said they would get back to me within 2-3 weeks. Well a week and a half later I got the email saying I had been hired! I cried! I was so excited! I couldnt believe they had chosen me!
I got my packet and start date, things started kicking in. The fact that I am moving, and will be gone a lot these first couple years. I leave for training on October 22nd and start classes October 24th. I will be in training for 3-6 weeks. 3-6 Because the in class training is 3 weeks but then I have to go to IOE (initial operating experience) but that is dependant on if there is a teacher free. Right after IOE I will go to my assigned base. I will not find out my assigned base until the first week of training. After I graduate and get sent to my base I have to wait 15 days before my benefits kick in and I can fly home.
I will let you all know where I get sent on this blog! Where i could be sent is, Chicago, Washington DC, Hawaii, Charlotte, or Phoenix.
I will not receive my uniform until I reach my home base so I had to buy a whole bunch of new things. I had to get a new black tote bag, black suitcase and a black purse. I also had to buy black leather shoes, navy blue pants and white button down shirts.
So thats the beginning of my life high in the sky! I cant wait to get this new chapter and adventure started.
