A Girl’s Simple Dream

It’s been 3 months since I started with this airline and it’s kinda scary and amazing how much/little I’ve gone through.

There was the initial 4 weeks of training- 2 of which was in Melbourne, where it was winter without snow. Following that was a week-long of training flights during which I had a trainer attached to me and teaching me things which weren’t taught in ground school.

Now, I’m halfway done with my 6-month probationary period and just enjoying the perks that comes along with the job.

Things which happened in this airline but almost-never in my previous one:
1) Colleagues calling one another out for dinner, shopping, or BBQs (every night).
2) Drinking sessions after checking in.
3) I actually got guys approaching me to chat me up in the outstation. Locations include: on the beach, at cafes/restaurants, and supermarkets.

Yah.. I know. Finally.

I actually like the atmosphere of these– people being friendly and not too bothered about makeup or what you’re wearing. They just come up for a chat and that’s it. I guess I’m just sick and tired of the local behaviour here– you try to say hi, and the other person either throws a dirty look, or just upgrades his/her ego to a max.

Yuck.
