I started at EAL in 1972. This was the uniform when I started, and I was “Hot Pants” approved. The BEST Airline!
Hired in the 70’s.. can only imagine what it was like a few years before
I would love to attend a reunion but no one would recognize me. Put on weight, almost bald, wear glasses and a hearing aid and don’t have any original teeth. Don’t smoke or drink spirits anymore and although I tend to forget things I do remember the names and faces of almost all the f/a’s I came to know in my twenty plus years in scheduling. I’m sorry if I caused anyone to dislike me but I had to do my thankless job. I once was told by my supervisor that if I couldn’t do my job and get my trips covered He would find someone who could. I didn’t mind the sixteen hour shifts and never taking a lunch break but being disliked for doing my job became over bearing at times. I would like to apoligize for any harm I caused.
Ney Mike,
Don’t beat yourself up over doing your job. Don’t know if your on facebook but there are EAL pages you can friend. I keep finding people I flew with.
everyone loved you, mike! and we would love to see you at one of our reunions!!! funny how most of us have put on weight, lost hair, wear glasses, have a hearing aid (or 2) and have false teeth…not to mention being forgetful! so you are not alone…now get your arse to a reunion!!! here is our EAL F/A facebook page… https://www.facebook.com/groups/87082159312/10151585453509313/?notif_t=group_activity
ps…wasn’t it you and cookie who provided us the greatest service by taking our bids over the phone?! you were the best!
Mike, you were awsome! By the way, we are all old, our joints are going to hell and we can’t hear well. But, we can still party hardy. I wish we could have a mid-year reunion, I have promised myself that I will never miss another one.
Dear Beverly, I have lost contact with Darlene Morrison who lives in Eustis, Fl, Do you have any info regarding her health & well being.?
