No I am not working I am non-reving back to SLC for the night. Because work was dumb and wouldnt release me until late I cant make it to Boise tonight. So I am going to spend the night at the basement with my loves!
I am transferring back to Phoenix! My last day in Philly is the 20th. And that night I will fly home with my mom for a whole week and a little more. Still waiting what my schedule is in PHX but I hoping to get all the way to the 5th off. On the 28-30th Jeremy and I are going to San Fransisco! Love having free flights and we got a free hotel room!
I was on for 5 days and didnt get a single call. I have never just sat for 5 days on reserve! I have not been sleeping. I have been super depressed, just wanting to lay in bed and do nothing. And then when I want to sleep I cant. The only times I can really sleep are when I am at home or at my moms. Hopefully the move to PHX will make it better. Being closer to home. I dont think the depression will really go away until Jere and I can finally live in the same place, at the same time!

Trips Trips and then No trips!
I havent posted in forever. After base orientation I have been working like crazy! I worked 40 hours in 2 weeks. That's a lot of flying. I know normal people work 40 hours a week but thats not in the air! So far I have only overnighted in Tampa and Phoenix. Nothing special. A lot of OPR (on premise reserve) And a couple of one day trips.
I am loving it no matter what I am doing! This month I havent been flying to much an that sucks I want some killer over nights! Everyone else seems to get them but I dont. So lame. I dont even know If I will be called this weekend at all. Today I am number 59 to be called and tomorrow it will jump up to over 100. I want to be called so I can work Sunday morning so I can fly back to SLC early.
On Tuesday I had the day off so my mom and I went in to NYC and got to see a special preview at the MET of their new Punk gallery. It was so cool. I only got a couple pictures so Ill post them below. Then we went to McGees, My favorite pub in NYC. It is the bar that McClarens is based after on How I Met Your Mother. The food is Delicious and drinks are cheap. Later that night we went and saw Cinderella on Broadway It was good. The costume changes were amazing! Loved it!
Black Trash Bags
Grocery Bags

Finally "on-line"
I have finally made it to Philly. My little apartment is so cute! Everyone should come visit me! I love in a great little university city. Walking is super safe, I want to get a bike and start biking around.
Yesterday (the 18th) I had my orientation at base. We just went over scheduling and known crew member line, and showing us where the crew rooms are located. I bid for my May line, fingers crossed I get a good one. At 3 everyone's phones started ringing, people stated getting trips for today. My phone whent off at almost 4, and by then all the trips were covered and all that was left was OPR (on premise reserve). So I took that so they couldn't call me at 2 am for a flight. My shift is noon to 4. So I am just sitting here. And ill probably be getting a call again at 3 for flights for tomorrow.

Week 4
I cant believe week 4 is over! I cant believe I have been here a full month. This time went so much faster then the 3 weeks at mesa. We got to wear our uniforms to class. They are ok, I am just excited for the new ones getting designed.
We had a half day on friday and got to go to the hanger. So much fun playing on the planes! My last thing to do is OE. Mine is tomorrow! So excited!

Hell Week
Hell week, or week 3 as the instructors call it, is over! Tests every day for a week. And I aced all of them! Im not normally cocky but this is what I was ment to do. I am damn good at my job, I pay attention, and I work hard in class.
We got to go through a decompression, and we got to jump down the slide that comes out of the airplane, and went to the pool for a raft drill. Long long week but its done! All thats left is one test on Monday (tomorrow) and OE on the 8th. I get almost a 3 day weekend this upcoming weekend. I get done Friday at 1 and then show up for my OE 6am next Monday morning. I am so excited for my OE. I am going with my Joann. We are going to DTW (Detriot MI) the layover is only an hour so no time to explore, just work. But when I get back that night Jere and my Mom will be waiting for me. So yey!
Here are some pictures from this week.

Week 1
With week one almost over I think its time for an update! So far everything is just a review for me. 2nd airline training in 4 months. Rocked my first 2 tests with 100%s so im feeling pretty good. Monday-Thursday class was from 7am till almost 6 every night, now that they have split the class in 2 (because we have 75 in out class) the group I am in gets to start at 1030 and get out between 8 and 9ish. But thats ok I am a night owl and I like sleeping in.
We get to play in actual trainers! Love them they can simulate any sort of emergency, like fire and smoke in the cabin. Also we get to go down the inflatable plane slide in week 3 and do water emergencies.
We also found out that today that getting PHX is very unlikely. A lot of other people from the first group are thinking about leaving the program because they cant get PHX. We our bids in for the bases and mine went:
1. PHX
2. PHL
3. DCA
4. CLT
Who knows what will happen with all these transfers coming in. But If i cant have PHX I really want PHL because they do so many European trips, more then any other base. How amazing would it be to go to Paris, or Italy for a weekend, and get paid for it! Gah I love my job. But I also cant wait until Jere and I can live together.
