I think we all remember the excitement we felt as new hires...oh those work trips! Thank you to @phanicole for her account...
“My heart is so full. Today.
I screamed with excitement when I came to find out my crew and I were about to be joined by two fabulous trainees, Cody & Roger, on their very first work trip, one of the only two trips that get them to see a bit of what it's like in the real [flight attendant's] world. It happens to be around the same time I had mine, exactly two years ago.
Two years. Like, how did the time just fly by, like, that?
If I could find an app to transfer the memories and emotions to my brand new crew members of what it really has been like, they'd have to upgrade their phones a couple times, because it has only been a true mind blowing experience. If I could show them how giddy I got at the entrance of my hotel room in that first layover, to how much I've learned and grown by meeting and talking to people from all walks of life, from crews to passengers, to new friends made from all corners of the world...
I'm just so in awe and grateful thinking back of that very first work trip, of Brandi and Sharon and Hugh and Cheryl who showed me the rope of the business first hand, and now how incredible the opportunity to witness others' first moments to one of the world's best kept secrets - oh the places you'll go, class 18-05
Welcome aboard, gents!”
With all of the new classes coming through, I hope you all are lucky enough to have them working on your flight. I’m waiting...

Had to share this photo of @noris_nce first trip! Beautiful photo that captures the moment. Wishing everyone safe travels and smooth skies ahead. May your flights be short and your layover be long. 😛 #goodmorning
American Airlines doesn’t ‘give’ us our wings..we earn them, and we earn the right to wear them every year when we re-qualify at recurrent training. We don’t take the responsibility lightly - we realize with these wings we are trained and capable of saving a life onboard the plane, and during an emergency landing we are trained and capable of evacuating all passengers on board. Our thoughts are with the Southwest crew and families that were impacted by today’s incident. Prayers go out to the family grieving the loss of a mother and wife who passed away today. Healing thoughts to the passenger and crew member who were taken to the hospital in critical condition. Much appreciation to the entire @southwestair crew....flight attendants and pilots, who were able to land the plane safely. We stand together with Southwest Airlines in support. Thank you for providing this image @hannahlinnea_ ... #strongertogether
Not necessarily a feel good post but a real life post, an awareness post. I’ll be sharing thoughts about a few topics that are difficult to discuss but are too prominent to sweep under the rug. Topics like depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse and self harm. These are a few issues that as flight attendants, we deal with. I’m not sure if our lifestyle lends itself to such emotional illnesses. The pressure to be pretty and skinny...the time alone we spend on layovers and away from family and other support systems. The lack of a routine. Please feel free to share your thoughts and feelings about these topics. @recoveringsassystew is an AMAZING, and strong woman that I would like you to meet. She is a warrior in dealing with her demons and flighting the stigma that goes along with mental illness. She gives us all HOPE... hope that better days are coming. Hope that comes minute by minute...then into hours and days. This is what she has to say on this day set aside called #nationalsemicolonday ...please read what she writes. #nationalsemicolonday is a day that’s near and dear to my heart. . . . I speak often of eating disorders and other addictions. But rarely of #sucide #selfharm #selfinjury . . . This is something I struggle with daily. Whether it’s depression. Anxiety. Or self injury. And I usually keep quiet because of shame or guilt. But today’s a great opportunity to get real about the reality of it. . So through much of my struggles, since i was a kid, I know there is a reason I am still here..and a reason why you are still here. We will continue to fight our demons daily, and won’t give up. It’s not the end. The semicolon is used when a sentence could have ended... but it didn’t. It’s there so the sentence continues just as you will continue. I so appreciate your openness , @recoveringsassystew . American Airlines has a program called Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that is there for you to use. More details can be found on jetnet. You don’t have to suffer. Check the jetnet link or ask Whitney about getting help. Today is the day to reach out to someone who cares. 🤝💙😥
Amazing phenomenon of St.elmo’s fire ,this taken after we departing from Taipei.Basically its an Electrical discharge made it visible, yet completely harmless for aircraft and persons on board,it’s a beautiful show of Mother Nature ..have you ever seen it before?
Please place your larger carry on item in the overhead bin and your personal item under the seat in from of you.... We’d like to apologize in advance that all flight attendant call buttons are inop on this flight. 😳#flightattendantproblems

When fate bring two American Airline’s families together. Both @cody_burd5 and @adam_frazer are recent graduates of AA flight attendant training, class 18-04. Little did these two know how much they had in common as they found out both of their parents were employee’s for nearly 30 years, working out of the same base, (MIA) but had never met until now. Both moms are AA flight attendants (aastews ☺️) and both dads, pilots! Adam said “I’m proud to represent a company that has been a part of my life since the day I was born”. 💙✈️❤️. I love how American is hiring so many of our family members, making this a ‘family oriented’ company to carry on the legacy of those before us. #aastrong #bettertogether #familygoals
Thanks to @officialbrendon592 for taking us on his Belfast tour, and doing #layoverlowdown ! He flew into Dublin, then boarded the train to get to Queens Island, Belfast. I really enjoyed the Titanic visit and especially Giant’s Causeway because it’s been on my bucket list! Simply stunning! Be sure to follow Brendon’s page and catch his very first VLOG/Blog... I’m looking forward to your next adventure, @officialbrendon592 keep us posted. 🌎💫🙌🏽
With all of the excitement of new classes graduating each week, I forget to post the flight attendants that have been at this a while. @mld020 had the pleasure of sitting on the jumpseat next to Miss Mary! She is the 3rd oldest flight attendant in the system, and well into her 70’s 🙌🏽. Originally from Shreveport, LA, she now calls Dallas her home. There seems to be no signs of slowing down, she enjoys hobbies like snorkeling and skydiving! I’ve heard she is such a sweet lady, and still loves her job! You go, girl! Thanks again for sharing this pic with me, Megan! I hope to me YOU and Mary one day ❤️❤️❤️
“I encourage other flight attendants to do little things like this. It costs you nothing to take the time out and do something like this”. Marquise Burns. Thanks for the inspiration, @woodboi1 🙏🏼🙌🏽🌀 Needed this reminder. We all get complacent and forget how easy it can be to make a difference.
Bali has given me everything from relaxation, amazing views, fun and many unforgettable experiences with the locals. Thanks @aastews for giving me the opportunity to share this #layoverlowdown . Follow me @mike_carden and let’s keep globetrotting!
Raise your glass to the weekend! 🍺🥂🍸 A toast is a ritual in which a drink is taken as an expression of honor or goodwill [wikipedia] Sharing a drink is a universal language of friendship and celebration around the world. Every country has their way of toasting or saying “cheers” ... here are a few! Feel free to add your own. Brazil says saude or tim-tim (to your health) China, the toast ganbei bottoms up and the kai pay means empty your glass. Costa Rica says pura vida which means pure life. I’m Denmark, it’s skal, France it’s votre sante...(to your health) in Germany they say Prost!! Or cheers! And Zum Wohli in German means “to your health”. In Japan the toast is KAMPAI (cheers). And in South Africa it’s gesondheid (to your health. “CHEERS” to @sierrabowland for sharing this photo with me. I think we can all relate to this 😜, am I right?

@guillaume.laffon helping to get us in the mood for our seasonal Europe flying. Here you have @airfrance landing at @flycdg (CDG) ...one of my fave places. 👨🏼✈️✈️ I stumbled on @guillaume.laffon ‘s page and ended up looking through many of his posts. It’s interesting to see where other airlines layover and different cities they fly to. Check out his page. It’s apparent his passion for travel and photography are as strong as his love of flying. Also impressive is the fact that he got right back to me with a YES for the repost! Hope you enjoy this landing as much as I do. Doesn’t everything sound better in French? 😆🥐👍🏼

This just in... its National Unicorn Day and I’ve been sent this lovely greeting by @nat_an.c 🦄. You know how to make someone’s day! Is anyone else excited about the sparkliest holiday of the year? Comment thumbs up or thumbs down. Unicorns aren’t just for 4th grade girls, they appeal to all ages ...they keep our imaginations alive and give us hope in the seen and unseen. If you’ve watched my story in the past few weeks, myself and @jt.roberts9 have been wanting to start our own unicorn club. We’ll update you on our progress. I wear the unicorn pin to work and people are freaking out about it! So there you go! It’s been a sparkly, colorful, snowy (💩) day here in Chicagoland. Hope your day is filled with all things magical with rainbows and cotton candy on top. 🌈✨🍭
All-time favorite! Just got back from #saopaulo and thought I should share this #flightlapse with you. Join us on the A340 flightdeck for a late night departure out of Sao Paulo.

Proud fAAmily!!! @courtney_amandaa has decided to join the family business! ...and who’s the lucky man in the middle? It’s Captain Joe, DFW based AA Captain and Air Force veteran with his loves, wife Sandra and daughter Courtney. After Courtney graduated last May from Texas A&M , she took it as a sign that American opened up hiring again for the flight attendant position the very next day. Now fast forward 11 months, she is on her way to her new base in the big Apple, NYC! 🍎 Growing up in an airline family definitely left an impression on her. Courtney says they traveled a lot and took advantage of the benefits. Sandra, Courtney’s mom moved from Germany to the US when she was 19 and soon after was hired as a German speaker, originally class 89-19. She met Joe in New York at a commuter pad (awwww ☺️) and as they say...the rest is history! She hung up her wings to raise her two children, however her love of flying never faded. She returned to the skies in 2013 ...class 13-01. 💕✈️ Courtney plans to live in New York for a year then maybe do a little BASE hopping just to get in as many experiences and variety of flying as she can. Eventually she’d like to return to her roots in Dallas. Happy flying and safe skies to this beautiful airline family. I loved hearing your story!
I NEED YOUR HELP! new flight attendant classes are coming through every week and need the pro’s and con’s of all the bases. What should they take into consideration when ordering their base preferences? Cost of living, ease of airport transportation. Need a car, don’t need a car. Most junior base. Best flying? Shortest reserve list. Large base versus small base. Most international flying ...whew! Thanks for your help as I am getting these questions coming in and would be nice to come together with some opinions. Side bar...not sure where this image is from but I need something similar designed for the unicorn club. Lol, @jt.roberts9 ...please submit ideas. 🦄🦄🦄
This is the last day to submit your entries for the @americanair video and photo contest! This is open to all active AA employees. The rules and regs can be read on the front page of jetnet. (Scroll through the front page articles). I’ve seen the talent out there...many of you have shared your photos with me from all of your non rev adventures. I’ve also posted a reminder on my highlights section of aastews. Share this promotion your fellow #aateam members for a chance to win 100K AAdvantage miles, and to be featured in future advertising and marketing campaigns. Good luck everyone! I’m so excited about this! I hope this becomes a yearly thing. #maythebestteamwin I’d also like to give a shout out to @thenomadicdiaries ...for submitting this featured photo to my little contest. I can’t stop looking at it. Amazing talent! Check out his page where he shows more of his passion of street photography and videography. 👍🏼👀📽

#throwback to over Malaysia en route Singapore (SIN) - Johor Bahru (JHB) for the flight test flown by the sim buddy before I took the sector back from JHB to SIN. Times flies and now it's time to properly move on to the line training where the learning curve is just going to get even steeper. This means it is time for me to up my game and push HARD to meet the required standards of a competent First Officer, whereby the responsibilities are even higher than ever. Let's go! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #pilotlife #crewlife #aviation #igers #boeing737 #boeing #aviationdaily #igaviation #flightdeckstories #cockpittales #pilottales
As if graduating American Airlines flight attendant training the next day wasn’t enough excitement, @hannahbellexoxo_ got engaged last night!!! 💍. She met her now fiancée in High school 3-1/2 years ago. He told her they had better take pictures the day before graduation because the next day would be crowded and they would be on a tight schedule. Then he surprised her!!! Can we all say AWWW together at the count of three? Ready? 1, 2, 3....AWWWWWW. Congratulations to the happy couple! P.S. love the umbrella in your pics and video 😉🌂
A few seconds from a smooth touchdown. @flyswiss flight LX40 is about to land @flylaxairport after a 11hrs flight from @zurichairport What do you prefere: Takeoff or landing? #flying #livefromtheflightdeck #cockpittales #flightdeckstories #upinthesky #beyondtheclouds #reasonIfly #workabovetheclouds #aviation #aviator #avgeek #pilot #pilotlife #igaviation #aviationdaily #dailyaviation #pilotdiary #explore #travel #igtravel #diewocheaufinstagram #lensebible #watchthisinstagood
Congratulations to @thewanderingstewardess for winning my little photo contest! Paula has an amazing eye for photography and her photos tell a story. This picture was taken on a recent trip to Cuba. Check out her page, she has some amazing content of her travels. I am blown away by all of the talent out there. I had 43 participants enter the contest, and 142 photos submitted ...just warming you up for the official American Airlines contest on Jetnet called ‘Share your travel memories for a chance to win 100,000 AAdvantage miles. Your photos or videos could also be featured in the global advertising campaign, which may include TV commercials, magazine ads, billboard ads, digital ads and social media posts! The deadline is April 9. Please read the full article and official rules. I’ll be watching to see who wins! Thank you to those who sent me photos! I submitted them to two of my favorite talented and respected photographers. @alexbryjak is a Chicago based photographer, but has camera-will travel to shoot anywhere in the world. Her main focus is on wedding photography, but she has done everything from head shots to ‘on location’ lifestyle photography for various businesses. @arinabphotog is a Laguna Beach based wedding photographer who also has traveled the world to shoot wedding photos in the most dream like settings. She has a unique styling all her own, where every detail is planned out perfectly. I asked them to chose their top 5 pics of all that were submitted and the winner was the one common photo they chose by @thewanderingstewardess. Check out my story where I’ll be posting the other 9 top 10. This was so much fun! I’m already looking forward to the next contest! 👌🏽📸🌎

I usually hear that we pilot have it so easy, that Automation do our job; that’s why I’m gonna explain the Philosophy of Automation: The goal for automation is to increase safety, efficiency and improve situational awareness, while reducing work load. Pilots must be well versed in flying the aircraft using all levels of automation. When an automated function improves precision or reduces workload, its use may be desirable. However, if an automated function does not complement a given situation, good judgment supports use of a more basic mode. Now I’m gonna explain it like I explained to my students if I ask you how much is 2 plus 2 your gonna say mmmmmmmm easy 4 now let’s put a different scenario now I asked you how much is 322 plus 562 minus 67 divided by 3 huummmm your gonna tell me please hand me a paper and a pencil; well using your head it’s level I of Automation, paper and pencil level II, calculator level III an then a super especial calculator would be level IV. Training Training Training is the key for safety so buckle up and enjoy your ride. #pilot #pilotlife #instapilot #avporn #avgeek #aviationlovers #airline #airlinepilot #travel #aviacion #piloteyes #piloteyes737 #crew #crewlife #runway #airplane #airplane_lovers #boeinglovers #737 #picoftheday #aviação #boeing #aroundtheworld #flying #livefromtheflightdeck #cockpittales #flightdeckstories #upinthesky #beyondtheclouds #workabovetheclouds
Cat walk, tail cone, jettison are the clues...I’ll take “What words are associated with a S80” for $200, Alex (⚫️👈🏽S80 nose) and @juan_urrabazo , coolest pic from the aft stairs ...
Many a tale hath been told on ye olde jumpseat- that flat leather plank where tales become lore. A place where you have to be ‘qualified’ to sit, and most certainly the person seated before you is a size smaller. 🤷🏼♀️ Lest you drop anything while seated on a jumpseat...it’s a mystery how these items are never to be found. Lost treasures have been discovered beneath the S80 tail cone jumpseat where you’ll find everything EXCEPT what you lost...pens,coins, an earring, french fries and forks. 😱 There’s also a thing called Jumpseat confessions where by the end of your three day trip you know more about your co worker than you do your sister. A therapeutic place, a tell all, a meeting of the minds. Where the passenger in 25 A and world peace will be discussed. Nothing is off limits. 🤔 So cheers to our very own little corner just for us. Strap in, do your 30 second review and before you know it...”flight attendants, prepare for take off” This picture though @ashleyhunt35 🙌🏽👠😍
Rush hour @zurichairport Los Angeles, Mumbai, Shanghai, Tokyo and so on. Our long haul fleet gets ready for their departure to far away destinations. Where would you fly? #flying #livefromtheflightdeck #cockpittales #flightdeckstories #upinthesky #beyondtheclouds #reasonIfly #workabovetheclouds #aviation #aviator #avgeek #pilot #pilotlife #igaviation #aviationdaily #dailyaviation #pilotdiary #explore #travel #igtravel #diewocheaufinstagram #dronestagram #zurichairport
Hey everyone! So go check out a new page started by two #aastews called @books.onboard . Give them a follow and comment a review if you’ve read the book. They’d like to hear from you...tag them at #booksonboard and tell them why you chose the book you are currently reading. Got sit time? Long layover? Read, review and tag 📕👉🏽🏷. Such a great idea, @maddieryanee and @mariahcoffelt 💡
When asked about seating preferences while traveling I almost always request an aisle. Why though...😮🤷🏼♀️🌅 #whatamithinking Stellar shot, @kayla_rico 🙌🏽
In the aastews bio description it says the page is about airline, travel and the lifestyles of American Airlines flight attendants. This story is about the lifestyle of MIA based @tjbetrippin and his music. Our jobs allow us to pursue many interests and hobbies outside of the airline world. Many of us are artists, musicians, models, singers, have travel blogs and Etsy stores. You all might remember TJ from doing a layover lowdown for me where he promised to sing for the page and he delivered. I was hooked! I am captivated by his artistic talent behind the microphone (and the camera) a true artist! Help me congratulate TJ on this very exciting day as his new album was not only released but has made the top 40 on the R&B charts. The album is titled #coverart and there is a link to download in the bio of his Instagram page! Also take a look at my story where I’ll post a clip of his new song. You’re on your way to something great, TJ and I couldn’t be more excited for you ✌🏽🎤🎧
LAYOVER LOWDOWN~~~🌎 Let’s give an engineer a camera and passes to travel the world and see what he comes up with 🤔. Kudos for capturing the essence of these beautiful cities and covering a lot of ground on a long European weekend! @flyingturbo , this photo gets voted “most comments” ...stunning! If you haven’t had a chance to view his layover lowdown, don’t worry. It will be permanently saved in highlights, so go check it out. #layoverlowdown ✌🏽

Everyone needs a buddy bidder. It’s a security blanket. It’s fun. Layovers become adventures. You don’t have to put on makeup for this person or put on airs. You can be your total self, flaws and all without fear of being judged. They like you for being you. Tag this ONE person. (Or two if you’re that lucky). 🏷 your buddy bidder (s) or someone you’d like to buddy bid with ✈️❤️👍🏼
Crazy Twilight Zone Flight ✈️ This morning leaving San Juan Puerto Rico our Captain was telling myself and the lead FA info about our flight. When he went to speak to the #1 he said his name wrong. We had let him know his name was pronounced the French way. The Captain said how he had spent some time in France cause at one point he was based in Germany. Well me being born there I always ask where (when I really only know one place and that’s where I was born 😂🤣😂🤣) He happens to say the exact place where I was born. I was like Me Too!! He then asked what year and I said 1991!! Right away he asked who my father ways. Come to find out this super awesome Captain flew with my father for almost two years in Germany while we were living there!! He use to spend time with my parents on their off time and everything!! Truly amazing how life has you right where you’re meant to be at the right time! Thank you for sharing your experience with me, @pueyflys ...meant to be!
!It's like a dream! I have trained half of my life for this; I've dreamed it even more time: Flying, Flying is everything. -🔴- !Es como un sueño!

Ready to get this day started! Hair, nails and makeup on fleek, @smileatthesun247 🙌🏽💅🏼💇🏽♀️ “If you decide to show up, show up to slAAy, otherwise stay home”. 😃
The view that signifies the start of another new flight. New flight, new adventure, new story. No 2 flights are ever the same even if flying to a same destination twice, which explains the dynamic nature of flying. Things change in each flight such as operating crew, aircraft with its own quirks, air traffic control, passengers and even the weather all play a part to make flying a dynamic sport. There's always a new story to tell the family after coming home from work. Flying or not, I'm sure we all have stories from work to tell our families. What's your story coming home from work? ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #pilotlife #crewlife #igers #igaviation #instagramaviation #boeing737 #boeing #aviationdaily #igaviation #flightdeckstories #cockpittales #pilotstories #viewfromthetop #aviation #changiairport #singapore
If you haven’t already checked out @brittany.bianca ‘s story as she takes us through India and Sri Lanka you’re missing out! Click on the circle on the top left hand side of the page where you see the aastews page logo, and she’ll show you around. This girl has a zest for life like I’ve never seen. I wanted you all to see this video where she was able to get hands on while bathing an elephant. It’s the only elephant in Sri Lanka born into captivity. What a rare and beautiful experience... 🌎🐘✨. THANK YOU, Is not enough to show you my appreciation for taking time out of your travels to shoot these pictures and videos for me. So very much appreciated! 🙌🏽 #pooja
Join me on the #flightdeck for a crosswind landing on runway 14 @zurichairport and watch me counter control the gusts during tge approach. If you pay close attention at where I am looking you can see my transition from flying with instruments to the visual part. Can you reckon at what height I start this transition? #flying #livefromtheflightdeck #cockpittales #flightdeckstories #upinthesky #beyondtheclouds #reasonIfly #workabovetheclouds #aviation #aviator #avgeek #pilot #pilotlife #igaviation #aviationdaily #dailyaviation #pilotdiary #explore #travel #igtravel @pilotgopro @pilotsviews @aviation.daily @aviationgoals @insta.avion @youraviation @instagramaviation @aviapics4u @aviation4u @future_aviators @aviati0n1 @aviationeverywhere @aviationdaily @gopro @gopropilots_ @goproaviationpics @goprode @flyswiss @boeinglovers @boeingfanpage @pilotgopro @gopro @gopropilots_ @pilotstories @aviationdaily @insta.avion @aviationgoals @instagramaviation @aviation.daily @aviation4u @aviapics4u @flyswiss
