ANOTHER YEAR UNDER MY BELT

By The Flying Pinto

As usual I’m glad it’s over, but our training has actually been changed…for the better! It was pretty cool, they had us acting out real life scenarios, we were on an airplane mock up and we were told what phase of flight we were in, and we acted it out. Our “passengers” who were our […]

By The Flying Pinto

The only day of the year I set my alarm is when I have to do my yearly re-current training. I hate it. We all do, but every year we spend a day getting a refresher on our safety training. I always leave with an appreciation for the review but I still hate it. At […]

TRAVEL TIP THURSDAY

By The Flying Pinto

This is a great idea, Lysol makes a 1 oz. travel spray. You’ll need to place it in a ziploc to get it through security but it’s worth it. It is the perfect size to travel with and you can use it on everything in your hotel room…light switches, door knobs, and if you happened […]
