And I'm Back In The Game!

I got hired by US AIRWAYS! Omg I cant even begin to describe how happy and thrilled I am. I really was convinced I was going to bet through one round then go home. But here is the story :)
On January 15th my friend called and told me US airways was hiring for their Phoenix base. She had applied the day before and had received the call to schedule a face to face (F2F). She encouraged me to apply so I did. I finally received an email on January 20th to call them for a phone interview. I finally got to talk to a real  person and not a machine on January 23rd. I passed and he schedule me for a F2F on January 30th.
So yesterday I woke up at 4:45 am to get ready. Anna was a sweetheart and picked me up and took me to the airport at 6. We finally made it, damn snow, and I ran to my gate, I was so worried I wouldn't make it but luckily I did!
Then once I got in to Phoenix I waited for a shuttle with a couple people. Once we got to the interview we met up with everyone else who had gotten in earlier. There were about 35 of us. We all went upstairs and sat through a presentation about the job. After that we went to the actual training facility proved we could fit in a Jumpseat and reach in to the overhead bin take out a AED and put it back. Easy easy! Then it was time for one on ones.
Because I am an "O" and they do it alphabetically so I had a while to sit. When they finally got to me I went back and sat down with the wonderful Megan. She asked me questions, and while I was answering them I was throwing in stories, to make her like me (think it worked!).
After all the one on ones were done they came in to the room and cut the 35 of us down to 21. We did a fun group activity in little groups of 4 and one group of 5 (the one i was in). After they cut us down again by about 5 people. Our group was the only one left fully intact! After that last cut, they came in and welcomed the rest of us to US AIRWAYS! holy shit! We were hugging everyone, from the other people hired to the recruiters. The first person I hugged was Megan. Without her, I would not have gotten through the one on one. She is the reason I got this far :).
We then had all the pre-hire paperwork to fill out, fingerprints, I9 and others. I also had to go get drug tested today.
I was then lucky enough to have my flight moved back and I got to go eat dinner with my lovely Joann. I miss her and cant wait to finally work with her again.

I still cant believe I got hired by a Main-Line. So amazing so lucky! out of 19,000 applicants they only need 190 Flight Attendants. Well motherfucker, I am one of those 190 now :) I cant believe it! Yey me.

To anyone out there who wants my secret of getting this job.... I was me. 100% I acted like I always do I spoke exactly like I do. No fakeness I didnt say what they wanted to hear, I said what I wanted to say.

And I never gave up this dream. I have had 4 interviews in the past 6 months and got 2 job offers.Nothing is impossible

Delta?

OMG i am so just dhsfiuhihvadv. Yes thats exaclty how Im feeling right now! Story time:
So tonight I randomly decided to search my email for things from delta. Somehow I missed an invitation to call a requiter about my Account Representative position that I applied for a couple days ago. I called and he asked me which one I was calling about and I told him the AR one. So he interviewed me for that and after he said he was going to push me through to the next round and someone would call me back sometime. I then asked him about my FA one and he explained  that he could only do one at a time and advised me to call right back after he hung up to find out.
So that is EXACTLY what I did! I called and talked to probably the greatest guy ever! I told him that I hadn't received an email but I had one for AR. He said something like, because you are taking invective  I will go ahead and give you your first interview! We talked forever! He was so amazing after the questions he informed me that he would be happy to push me through to the next round and schedule a 2nd phone interview on Wednesday! I couldn't believe it! over 100,000 applicants and I got a second interview! Thats impressive. Yey me. I might not get the job (probably not) But this is a step towards where I want to be! If all goes well on Wednesday I would go through to the final interview in Atlanta. This is exactly what I want!
Please send me all your good vibes, prayers, or whatever you do!

I am dancing around my bedroom to this song right now! Cant contain my happiness!

Interviews

Hopefully I have a bunch of interviews coming up! I know I am going to Skywest interview on Feb 6th in Denver. I just applied to Horizon and Alaska Air. The best part about these 3 airlines is that they are all west coast! Horizon has Boise, which is good because that's where Jeremy is working right now. Alaska Air has a base in San Diego, and that is great because that is where Jeremy and I want to end up! And my cousins live there and I would love to be close to family. Horizon and Alaska Air both have Seattle! I miss living in Seattle and all my friends there :). And of course Skywest, all the training is done here in SLC and there is a base here.
Hopefully I hear back from Horizon and Alaska Air soon about interviews. I want to get back out flying. And not on the east coast!

Moving on

So after some hard long thinking, I am not going back to Mesa. I am going to continue to look for a FA job but until that time ill go back to Weber and maybe work part time. I am so close to my degree that I should just finish it now. Skywest has interviews this month and I am really looking forward to going to the one in Chicago. I get to see Joann and Nelson and hopefully Ally. But if I dont go to the Chicago one Ill go to the Denver one.

I didnt get United, I am really bummed, I thought I had it but I guess not. I am still waiting to hear from Delta about an interview. I will not give up on this.

With Mesa I would never be home they pay checks arent worth it. People are almost working for free because their rent is to crazy. Cost of living is insane in CLT, and right now thats where they have me. Its impossible to get home because there are no direct flights to SLC. Chicago would be best but still so far away, and they probably wouldnt give me any time off anyways. So for now you are all stuck with me Until I get skywest or a mainline, no more applying for little unknown companys.

I will fly, but today just isnt that day, and Mesa is the wrong company for me.
