A lot of our super senior gals, especially the Eastern ones, could run rings around anyone on any plane and make the service immaculate. The ones that are lost are some of the folks who have never worked anywhere (or even flown anything) but USAir, and have a DC9 mentatlity that doesn't work in a larger crew. Certainly not all, but there's a few you just have to laugh at... These are the ones who think it's a big deal to go to London and carry an Aeroboutique bag to show that they've been to Paris. The more junior folk have been furloughed and worked elsewhere, or at least were hired during the "global carrier" phase. I love being in a briefing and they are like "Is this your first time going to SNN? Are you comfortable with 'this airplane' (meaning the 757 we've been flying forever)?" Well, I've worked flights to five continents and multitudes of aircraft, widebody, narrowbody and regional. I think I can handle this lol...

What about PHX to the pacific rim, would that be possible? Are they still planning on growing transpacific with sheer plucky determination? Or acquiring/buying it outright from someone?
I know nothing about the preparedness of PHX for A380 accommodations...

Nah, they’ll just use leftover Xeroxed Envoy menus.

Press release right from the Airbus corporate website on October 5th. No mention of 380s. If we had purchased them Airbus would be telling everybody. End of story.

sky high states: I think it was Colodny who wanted the fleet to be of smaller aircraft. Didnt want to send HALF EMPTY flights around the system. Smaller aircraft fit the route system and it's frequency.
767 really isnt that big. Try being galley hag on the DC-10 in the lower galley. Sending up 300 hot meals via the C-lift. (elevator). Handling 4 or 5 ovens down there. Now, that's ALOT of cooking.
LOL---> A380---> <brr-ringgg>....hey! "This is sky, upper level, section B, aisle 4, row 45, seat A". I have a dup!

Sky, that was my point... been there done that by the way.

EMB- your right as usual. I remember sitting in Carnot Training Center and being told "When you take the 737 from PIT to LAX....." :blink: 
I was like a what? At my former airline we had the DC-10 and MD-11. How about the galley lifts not working in the middle of the flight over the Pacific? 
Handing the food up through the floor.
But, have I ever flown the A330 before? Can I handle Envoy galley? Some of our gals crack me up.

sky high states: WAS THAT YOU?
Picture this.................working lower galley. You hear the elevator start to move and glance over in the lift window and see BLACK PANTS. Hmmmm, now who in the heck is that? Open the door to find a passenger praying against the wall inside. (Jewish). "Excuse me, but how did you get in here?".......He replied, "I asked the pretty lady up top for some privacy to pray and she sent me in HERE." Ohhh, ok. <close door>.....:::
:::.....<press button>.....sent the passenger back to the cabin.LOL!

I flew with a bitter old guy on the E190, he didn't realize it wasn't a 737 (sorry, a "three-four hundred" because those old buckets are somehow better?). He bi*ched all day, and said "I like to fly big planes... like the 757."
I was like, um, are you serious?
Sky, that is absolutely hilarious. You have to be careful with those elevators or you'll be decapitated!
I saw a F/A dress as Santa Claus and come up through the trap door in the aisle... people nearly had heart attacks!
