What's wrong with bringing some of the comforts of the Box over to the Lounge(TM)?

Yes - the VP has an Executive Aide, as the AVP, I have a Secretary. Both have passed their CPS exam, which gives them a little bit of a pay increase in our agency.

And how many of those jobs do you fill?

Thanks up - that reminds me that I have to replace two dead bushes, pull weeds and work on the bougainvillea

Thank you to all who voted for my entry!

Her reply was simply shrugging her shoulders and saying the only thing she could do was clean it herself which she sounded very negative about. I just said to heck with it and shut the sun shade.
That story is quite gross, nichojo...

...and that is perfect for here in The Lounge™. Welcome!

One must get up pretty oily in the morning to outwit that flight attendant...

With friends like that, who needs enemas?!?

Thank you, Dovster, but I think I will try some other strategies and methods of winning the competition and go to Antarctica...

By the way, I will bet that if you search further, you will most likely find some more candidates with whom you would like to have as guests in Israel...

On section 10 of 17 on my trip report. It will surface in the trip reports section in a few hours.

Question: How much would a typical domestic full time DL FA make a year?

Depends where they are based. If they're based in ATL, they make $85k plus tips. In SLC, $35k plus all they can drink. In CDG, €110k plus a €32k clothing allowance.
