Jennifer's Story

Life Right now I'm living in Richmond, Va with two friends but a very lively house where we often have a guest in the spare bedroom or on the couch. We all work together but don't see one another very often because we are all flight crew members and usually have different days off and hardly ever get to fly together. When we are actually fortunate enough to hang out together we are usually out around Richmond or Pittsburgh grabbing a few drinks together. Once in a while we actually get to have enough time off together to go on a vacation somewhere. Mostly we've gone to various islands in the Caribbean, the most recent being a week in Aruba. This past February myself and two friends went to Dubai which is in the United Arab Emirates. Despite the prejudice that hangs over the Middle East, the UAE is actually a very peaceful and rich country and loves visitors from the western world. There are still some areas which have stricter laws than we are used to, but Dubai and Abu Dhabi are both very modern and beautiful cities. In January one of my roommates and I along with another friend will be going to visit Peru. I'm trying to see as much of the world as possible while I am still young and single and don't have to plan too much around others to take off. Right now I'm a flight attendant, but I am hoping to get my commercial pilot's license in the next couple of years and start flying instead ...Expand for more
of riding in the back. Workplace While I was at UT, I worked part time for First Tennessee Bank for the whole 3 years I was there. I moved to Richmond for a change of environment and found a job as a flight attendant thinking it would be fun to do for a little while and then I would find a "real job." Four months after I got hired, 9/11 happened literally right in front of me (I was on a plane that was supposed to be landing in Newark Int'l when the first plane hit and then saw the explosion from the second plane from the window of my plane,) and for mostly pure stubborness decided I wanted to stay in the airline industry for my career. Even though every other day we hear stories of the major airlines taking pay cuts, declaring bankruptcy, and so on, it's still a fun and exciting job to have. Because of the downturn in the airlines I feel very lucky to have the job I have since many who were hired before 2000 are laid off and have had to work elsewhere until their company can call them back. I will hopefully stay in this industry until I retire. In the next couple of years I hope to earn my commercial pilot's license to move to the front of the plane instead of the back. I think the airlines will continue to change but I'm hoping it will turn for the better after these 5 hard years we've survived. Once in a while I work flights to Knoxville, I hope to see one of you on a flight sometime!
