be very difficult yes it will I never
thought I'd be on a plane heading toward
a hurricane I was once but we weren't
this close you can see the eye of the
storm from flight altitude
what city do you most want to visit
Pittsburgh Pittsburgh why Pittsburgh
it's because my family is from there
when my great great great grandparents
came from England to the USA they lived
in Pittsburgh for several generations so
you have family in the area
yeah and lots of family history are you
ready to do the safety demonstration
David I think so

stage fright sometimes didn't you
practice in school no my first time was
last Tuesday on our way to st. Louis
I've only done it once before oh don't
worry you'll get used to doing the
safety demonstration it's really easier
than you think
dude the grocery store is closed
isn't there another one nearby I don't
know I've never been here before check
your GPS again are you sure you put in
the data correctly yes I am the screen
is marking this part of Baltimore as the
endpoint all I wanted was some bananas

I'm not from San Jose could you tell me
how to get to Alexander's please
Alexander's you mean the little steak
house on the corner I'll bet that's it
I'm a flight attendant and my crew is

Alexander's thank you you're welcome hey
Jess one of our days off is going to be

of the crew is going so I'm inviting you
as well it isn't a date
oh all right sorry about that
no problem sure I'd love to go just so
long as no one makes fun of me for not
knowing much about football
have you chosen where we're going in San
Diego we're going to a sushi bar on the
wharf there's a beach nearby as well
sounds great I love sushi especially
when it's fresh yeah
there are closer restaurants but sushi
just sounds good and more expensive but
that's okay
sushi sounds like it will hit the spot
for me as well I'll go tell the others I
already told them they thought sushi
sounded better as well
I need some sleep this flight from San
Diego to Detroit is a killer do you
think so yeah do you know why there are
so many flights to Detroit I mean the
car industry isn't what it used to be no
it isn't but it is getting better do
they still have those big car shows like
you said the car industry isn't what it
used to be but there are still several
prestigious car shows in Detroit hello
ma'am
we'll be landing in Minneapolis in a few
minutes and I need you to turn off your
computer for landing oh sorry about that
I guess I lost track of the time that's
all right
is there anything you need before we
land oh no no I've been to Minneapolis
many times before I'm well prepared for
the cold that's good
I heard it's one of the coldest capital
cities in the USA that's exactly right
I always bring clothes I can layer up
with good morning how may I help you
well we decided to eat at a restaurant
do you eat at restaurants often yes I do
could you tell me the name of the best
restaurant within five minutes of the
hotel I actually don't like the
restaurants near the hotel but there's a
steakhouse on Pine Street that I love
it's a bit farther than five minutes but
it's my favorite here in Phoenix
Wow I've heard that sunny days do not
happen in Seattle yeah sunlight is
cherished around here are you speaking
from experience yeah I lived in Seattle
for a few years while I went to school
great city but the weather can wear on
you my friend told me that in Seattle
there are often months of rain yeah it
isn't hard rain though the weather just
drizzles constantly day after day
finally a bit of warmth Miami is such a
wonderful city enjoy it while you can
we're scheduled to take off in an hour
why couldn't we have two days off here
instead of in Denver don't worry about
it we have a 12 hour layover at our next
stop so you can enjoy the warmth a bit
more there our next stop is Atlanta
right right
excuse me young man could you help me
what seems to be the problem I can't
find my luggage
what's your flight number ma'am three
nine nine five according to what's on
the screen your luggage will come out on
conveyor belt number four which is in
the other room you'll have to go there
to get your luggage oh thank you this is
my first time flying to Atlanta and I'm
a bit lost my dad would love to be here
now why is that he's a US history
teacher and Boston was central to the
stabilization of the United States as a
country didn't the tea party happen in
Boston when the colonists dumped huge
crates of tea into the river and protest
against high taxes exactly just gave the
tea to the fish hey a mana yes I need
you to take care of the pre-flight
checklist and get everything ready for
takeoff I need to make a quick phone
call before we leave for Philadelphia
will you take long I'm not sure it
depends on if my friend in Philadelphia
answers the phone or not no problem I'll
start the checklist and wait for you to
come back
Wow I just had a bit of deja vu oh yeah
I visited San Francisco years ago and I
remember walking down this road with
some friends we were eating some
chocolate what did you like most about
San Francisco the people there's a
diverse mix of people in the city and
that makes it all the more interesting
hey David we'll be landing in Dallas
soon more warm weather for you thanks
actually but we're not even getting off
the plane in Dallas we're just making a
connection to Houston I know but you get
to stand by the door this time saying
goodbye to the passengers you'll be able
to feel the nice warm Dallas air hey
thanks
I'm moving up huh just a piece of advice
though make sure to have a glass of
water nearby you'll need it after saying
goodbye and thanks for flying with us
300 times
I'm so happy that we'll be able to spend
the night in Houston and then have all
day off tomorrow me too
I really need to rest I think I'm coming
down with something I have some meds in
my bag if you need them thanks but I
think I'll be fine some extra rest
should be enough
well we'll be landing in an hour then
you can get something to eat then I'm
off to the hotel to sleep where are we
going now well the next city on our
route is Washington DC no no where are
we going now here in Houston there's got
to be something fun you know David I'm
pretty tired I think I'm just going to
turn in what about Matthew Matthew is
coming down with something and jessica
is going to spend the evening skyping
with her husband oh okay no problem I'll
just find something to do on my own
have you ever landed in Chicago before
no this is the first company I've worked
for that flies to Chicago yeah I worked
for a company last year the service the
Chicago area but not Chicago my mother
still thinks that all major cities have
all airlines available at all times
yeah the airline industry is certainly a
unique one do you need a coffee I was
just thinking about that that would be
great
Thanks so we'll only be in Los Angeles
for about 45 minutes before we make our
last and longest leg this month to New
York
yeah LA is another connecting flight
about half the passengers are getting on
just for this Lake I wish we could stay
a bit longer
I have some friends living here that I
haven't seen in years
don't worry about it you'll probably
stop in LA next month I hope so I've
always wanted to spend some time in LA
good work Jessica it's been a long month
with a few adventures and far too much
turbulence
not to mention almost running into a
hurricane yeah that was a new one for me
as well I hope I don't have to do that
again
nor do we but I had a good time at the
Broncos game I think David learned a lot
too
this was a good run for a new guy he's
going to make a great flight attendant

Parade
I met Sam's younger brother yesterday he
looks like Sam really Sam doesn't look
like his older brother at all I think
they are similar Sam's hair is different
to his older brother now though unlike
before that's true and unlike some other
brothers you never see them together I
think they had an argument a few years
ago that sounds like Sam I hear that
you're arranging the Christmas party
this year that's right everyone is going
except for Carl from HR how much will it
cost it's $50 each excluding drinks
that's reasonable do I pay now or later
pay later except for a $5 deposit what
is that noise outside it's a
demonstration against the recent tax
hikes

protestors headquarters are opposite us

move to the desk opposite me for today

I'll have a plate of small fries with
ketchup wait I think this check is right
what's wrong

it maybe he will take a little more off
the total to apologize for the mistake
