We had an early show time yesterday morning, 4:45 am (O-dark-thirty). This is not the best time for flight attendants to face grumpy passengers. It must be done tactfully and gracefully or all hell can break lose. We kept the lights down low and let them sleep. The sounds of a few snorts here and there confirms they are sleeping, danger is averted. And, believe it or not, we have another early show time today at 4:55 am. And people think this is a glamorous job.
Anyway, as I mentioned in yesterdays post the snow was on it’s way into the Ohio Valley while we were heading south. Charlotte was the first stop, arriving there before most of you were out of bed, maybe a few of you were even snoring. We then flew down to Key West, sat there for an hour and half before making our way back to Charlotte. Man was that hard to do. It was cruel, I tell ya.
The skies down there were clear and bright. Temperature were edging up to 70 degrees and it was only 10:30 in the morning. I walked around the aircraft in an effort to stretch my legs and just enjoy the warmth. That’s where this image was taken. It is the tail of the aircraft aligned with the tip of wing against that blue sky. I’m now in my cozy hotel room in Baltimore, shoes are off, the bed looks inviting and I’m glad to have gotten out of Columbus just in time.
