The longest day or the longest night, you pick.
OK, off the plane and to the hotel and for most, a most precious commodity — a shower and maybe, just maybe a few minutes of sleep. Though as we know, sleep is whatever is leftover from lurking or posting on FlyerTalk.
So we meet in the lobby and off we go toward the infamous Flight Attendant Training with the Moderators. There’s nothing more humorous than the flight to “Colorado Springs” and having two moderators point different directions to where the “aft” emergency exits are. Seems like remedial from what I saw. The simulation center for this training was an A320 and we have to admit, was fairly realistic including the part where the trolley actually nicked my leg and ran over a shoe. So, word to the wise, FlyerTalk “Trolley Dollies” may be better suited for CRJs where they can hand deliver the cans of Coke or snacks rather than risk maiming the passengers. But who knows, there a whole bunch of members that will learn the results of this exhaustive training to be a “flight attendant in 3 hours.”

Glad you are off to such an exciting start!
Turns out, I’ll be a couple of hundred miles BEHIND you for the next couple of days- Bremen/Bremerhaven and Hamburg, scouting Competitours challenge sites.
See ya in Munich….pace yourself!!!!
