My first flight was back in 2000, at PHL. I saw my flight on the screen, and noticed a couple of passenegrs talking about and it was a good feeling. I was nervous and a bit scared. We had the GPU plugged in (US Airways Express-Dash 8) when I finally got to the airplane, my IOE captain introduced himself, and asked me to get the clearance. My deadhead flight was delayed so it wasn't my fault I was late. When everything was ready to go, a ramper jumped into the GPU-cart, and drove away, WITH the GPU still plugged in. He broke a couple of things, the flight was cancelled.
Am I happy where I am now?? yes, I'm at Netjets, wouldn't trade it for anything.
