00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:19.680 What's been going? 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.480 Well, uh, a lot has happened in the month of March. 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.920 Month of March, I do get to celebrate my birthday. 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:26.399 Yes. 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.519 The international holiday, uh, March 10th. 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.040 I got to celebrate that. 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:36.319 Um, and March has brought transition in my life, uh, great transition. 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.720 I am moving from here in Atlanta to Chicago. 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.439 I'm originally from the Midwest, up near Chicago. 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:43.920 Yeah. 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.600 So I am going back home because I'm tired of commuting. 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.720 That is something we deal with in this aviation industry. 00:05:50.879 --> 00:06:12.319 I have been doing it for the life of my career, and I am tired, uh, not to give away too much when it comes to airline um stuff, but it's not gonna work here for me in Atlanta uh when it comes to work and my age and me going to work. 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.800 So I'd rather be closer to my base. 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.160 And um Chicago is just gonna be it for me. 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.360 And the good thing about it, I get to be closer to both my dad, mom. 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:29.680 They're still up that way in um northwest Indiana, uh, that area where I'm originally from. 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.319 So I'll be able to see them and some good eating too. 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.839 Chicago got the best food, but the best food. 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:39.040 Comfort food. 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:47.120 Yes, but thank God for GLP one because that's regularly, regularly, because the way, baby. 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:54.879 Chicago the way I have been eating and drinking, like I celebrated uh because of when my birthday failed, I've celebrated the following weekend and St. 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.920 Patty's Day was everything in Chicago. 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.680 And I loved every bit of it. 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.160 Um, so yeah, that's what's going on in my world. 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:10.160 And plus, I was thankfully, yesterday I went through recurrent. 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.879 So I am recertified for another year flying, praise the Lord. 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.920 Uh and yeah, that's it. 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:16.720 That's all. 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:17.360 That's all. 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:17.600 Right. 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:19.040 So I'm grateful. 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:28.000 But as Michelle was pointing out, um, something that we have been dealing with for what now 60 days, maybe even longer. 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:35.920 TSA um has been going through uh going through it. 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.839 I can't even say going through something, but they've been going through it for sure. 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:54.720 Um and dealing with the topic we're gonna get into today about um being a flight attendant or becoming a flight attendant, one thing you're gonna have to be aware of of what the government does because it will affect us. 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:59.199 And our hearts go out to TSA specifically. 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:07.199 Um and just last year we dealt with the um air traffic controllers along with TSA not getting paid. 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.959 Thankfully, this time around, it was a partial government shutdown. 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:18.160 Um but to go have to go to work, have to put on a smile. 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:19.040 And not getting paid. 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:19.759 And not getting paid. 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:20.639 Couldn't do it. 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.720 Because you imagine what we gotta do and we won't get paid, crashing out. 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.959 No, not in the word crash, I'm sorry. 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.000 But yeah, I that's no way. 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:34.399 And have to deal with the crazy that they deal with people, it's just dealing with people. 00:08:34.720 --> 00:09:03.679 The general public and it works that don't listen, and you gotta tell the redundancy of telling them the same thing over and over again, and people and one of the crazy things that I saw, which and the reason why we also mentioned this because um, as of last night, we saw where the Senate passed a budget uh or funding budget for uh homeland security, excluding um ICE and um border patrol, but TSA would get funded. 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.759 Um it still has to go to the House of Representatives, still has to go to the president to be signed. 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:11.759 However, it's one step closer. 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:12.879 One step in the right direction. 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:14.399 One step in the right direction. 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:27.200 However, one of the things I saw, which I don't even think um it ever dawned on me, but they were talking about if this doesn't get rectified and

more people resign, airports will shut down. 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:38.799 And it's not as easy where they think or it was thought that we could send another work group into help because they don't know what they do facility. 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:40.559 Exactly, they're not qualified. 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:44.639 That's again, like I am not a pilot, I cannot be a pilot. 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.960 A pilot's not a flight attendant, they cannot come do our job. 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:49.279 Right. 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.759 Like we're trained and to do two different things. 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:52.399 Yes. 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.919 Um, so and think about the training they go through. 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.399 They go through six months of training versus six weeks of training. 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:00.639 Yeah. 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:08.799 And what they're supposed to be looking for in terms of not just checking IDs to ensure you're going to the right place or you're supposed to be there. 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:09.120 Yeah. 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:17.039 You know, they have a lot of a myriad of things that they're checking for, not just IDs to make sure, oh, yeah, you're here on the right day. 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.000 You're going, you know, your ID matches your face. 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.320 There's a lot that goes into that. 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:31.840 So our definitely go out to them, you know, in dealing with everything because as we all know, um, as adults, the bills don't stop. 00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:35.759 They don't they don't care what's going on, they don't care what j shut down happening. 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:46.799 Yeah, so you know luckily you are in a situation where maybe your landown uh landlord, if you have a landlord, will be understanding. 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:47.279 That's right. 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:54.240 Or something like Aurora, or your car insurance company will be understanding, or your mortgage company may be understanding. 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.159 So but that's not always the case. 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:56.799 Absolutely. 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.840 And depending on where you're at, you know, in the country, they may not be, you know, as understanding. 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:17.679 So we're hoping that, you know, for any TSA, you know, workers or any family members for those CSA workers that are listening, please know us here at Gem C Chronicles, our hearts and our prayers are with you during this difficult time. 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.519 And we appreciate y'all showing up. 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.559 Yes, we do. 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.320 That's why when I go through, I I let them know, hey, I appreciate you being here. 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:29.200 Yeah, it's the small of the small things that matter, and people they appreciate that because they don't hear it enough. 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.600 And the part that bothers me, they're some of the most overlooked employees. 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:32.639 Yeah, definitely. 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:38.000 And that the the to your point, the part that bothers me the most is that I can't do anything. 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.080 Yes, I I would I would love to. 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:40.799 I would love to. 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:41.519 I would love to. 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:44.000 Granted, my pocket can't cover everybody. 00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:53.440 1,500 of y'all that might be working, but because I am having an interaction with you, I'd just be like, look, take this$20 out of my pocket, go get you something to eat. 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:54.639 But we can't do that. 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:59.039 And I don't think the broader public understands that too. 00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:04.399 Um, so yeah, that's that's our hearts definitely go out. 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:05.600 Shout out to TSA. 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.279 Yes, definitely. 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:15.200 So, our topic of today, and this episode will be titled Destination Hired. 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.200 Your flight attendant blueprint to becoming a flight attendant. 00:12:19.519 -->

lot. 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:31.840 I feel like I'm too old. 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.039 There is no too old to become a flight attendant. 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:44.320 If you are that mom who's put your kids all through school, they're now grown, you had that first career, that second career, you want to come. 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.279 Come on. 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.000 There's no max age for becoming a flight attendant. 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.279 You must have a valid, unexpired passport. 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:57.200 Yes, you need to have a clean criminal background uh check because that's gonna happen. 00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.559

You must be able to pass a drug screen. 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.039 You need to have the physical ability to lift up to a certain amount. 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.919 For most um carriers in the U.S., it is um at least 50 pounds. 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:19.600 Now, the standards I have just mentioned, this applies for most US carriers, um, European carriers, and other carriers around the world. 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:23.600 The standards may flex a bit depending on who you're applying to. 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:30.559 So do make sure that you're checking the standards for your particular carrier, because again, these standards may flex. 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.320 So, on to the resume. 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:35.360 I know you want to talk about it. 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:43.679 And before you go to the resume part, um also, yes, we just gave you some basic um requirements. 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:45.120 Research. 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:57.759 Do your research, especially if there's a company that you want to uh apply to, knowing that information, but also knowing the company will help you big time. 00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.679 So research, research, research. 00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:03.919 Yeah, and that's very I'm glad you mentioned that because so many people don't realize you gotta know where you're going. 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:04.320 Yes. 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:08.799 And interviewing for Spirit Airlines and interviewing for United is gonna be two different experiences. 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:09.120 Correct. 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:10.399 And they're looking for two different things. 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:13.759 So make sure when you are choosing an airline, you're not just going and applying. 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:20.000 Go look up the history of the airline, where they started, their mission statement, their morals and values, and what they are built upon. 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.000 And that's gonna help you tailor your interview and your responses based upon that. 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:24.240 Yes. 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:29.120 But make sure you know where you're going and you're not just applying and going in there and blindsided, because then you're gonna gag. 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.159 I'm telling you. 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:30.720 Pretty much. 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:31.679 I'm telling you. 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.559 You gag. 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:44.480 And then the reason why I was pointing that out and doing your research, because if you don't do your research, you are one limiting yourself from getting the job. 00:15:44.639 --> 00:16:01.039 And then on top of that, there are tens of thousands of people that apply to not just one company, all companies when it comes to aviation, because everybody says this is a dream job. 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:09.279 I actually just found out the other day um while sitting with my mother, first time ever, I recommend doing this. 00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:15.919 Um, I was talking, I was like, mom, when you were in school or coming out of school, what did you desire to do? 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:17.919 Never talked to my mother about this ever. 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:20.080 She was like, I actually wanted to be a flight attendant. 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.840 I was like, what? 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:22.720 You never knew that. 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:24.159 Ever knew that. 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:24.799 Never knew. 00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:29.840 She was like, Yeah, but you know, because again, we didn't know anybody from that. 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.960 And she was like, you know, my life didn't go that way. 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.559 And she was like, when you became one, I I thought it was amazing. 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:44.720 And I've suggested and tried to get my mother on um at my airline, giving her tips and trying to push her. 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:50.879 Um, but again, life, she's older now, so perspectives are different. 00:16:51.039 --> 00:17:01.679 Um, but that blew my mind just sitting with my mom and her mention that because again, never, even when I became a flight attendant, it wasn't like she was oh, I wanted to be that, and I'm glad you are never. 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.919 So I literally just found that out a few weeks ago. 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.039 So that's awesome. 00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:06.319 That's awesome. 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:06.640 Yeah. 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:08.559 The things we learn about our parents, right?

when you're writing your resume, you need to learn how to tailor your resume for the job that you're applying for. 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:35.359 Don't just use regular vernacular when you're writing your resume. 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:44.480 If it takes for you to sit down with someone that is proficient in skill writing or a skill set, Google's your friend. 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:54.000 And I would even to that point, because we have advanced in technology because there were days when we wanted to find somebody that could write a good resume. 00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:58.960 Like, look, I'll throw you some money, just write this or look it over, rewrite it, or whatever. 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:00.720 But thank God we have AI. 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:01.519 AI. 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:22.079 I don't want to shout out one of them, but you know, I'm just gonna put the AI chatbots out there are great at you can just maybe not even know what you want to say, but just put the few words in it that points it in the right direction and will lay out some great things. 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.720 So again, research, research, do your research. 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:37.200 I also tell people you have to be very careful with the words you use because what people don't realize is these companies use this technology to where when your resume comes in through their system, they're they're looking it over for key words. 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:55.839 And if they're not in there, they shoot it out, and that's why you get a thanks but no thanks email so quickly because they're looking for certain words on that resume that will bring attention to the fact that you may be more qualified than others because we're getting so many resumes in, so they have to find a way to filter out and find the ones that they want to reach out to. 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.160 Yes. 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.240 So make sure that you're using the right keywords, and like you said, AI will help you do that. 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:10.240 Safety, customer service, hospitality, those are the kind of words you should have in your resume because it's it's about the main things that we do within this job at any airline. 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:14.720 Absolutely, and I'm so glad that you touched on keywords. 00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:16.160 What do we do at work?

00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:31.440 Like, can I get a flight? 00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:33.280 They're going to ask you. 00:53:34.079 --> 00:53:36.079 It's up to you how do you answer. 00:53:36.320 --> 00:53:44.239 But and the bring, I'm glad you mentioned the support thing because when you don't have that support at home with a spouse, let me be very clear. 00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:45.760 I witnessed it when I was in training. 00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:55.840 People outside on their lunch breaks, or when we got our five-minute breaks in training, arguing with their spouse because the spouse missed them or need them back home with the kids or mad that they've been gone so long. 00:53:56.159 --> 00:53:58.800 And that's a huge distraction while you're down in training. 00:53:58.880 --> 00:53:59.039 Yes. 00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:11.760 And you're dealing with so much people getting sent home because they're not studying, because they're up going back and forth with their spouses because of them being gone somewhere for five weeks and them not truly understanding what came with the job before they left. 00:54:11.840 --> 00:54:16.480 And now they're like, I don't like this, you need to get home, or your child's sick, or I need you here. 00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:18.400 These bills need to be

paid, and things like that. 00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:32.880 So make sure that y'all sit down and have the conversation of what it's going to look like for the next three months with expenditures, with me being gone, if you have children, daycare, things like that, make sure that those things are talked about because if not, it will blow, it can it can get really bad. 00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:33.119 Yeah. 00:54:33.280 --> 00:54:38.719 And my main thing that I tell my friends that have become flight attendants, save your money. 00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:39.280 Save. 00:54:39.440 --> 00:54:50.639 But when you as soon as you start applying, start saving because what people don't realize is that first month after you get out of training, you're not getting no check because you haven't worked yet. 00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:56.639 So you got to spend a whole month of working before you then you get a check the very next month. 00:54:56.719 --> 00:54:59.760 People also don't know flight attendants get paid for the month prior. 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.079 We don't get paid for the month we just worked. 00:55:02.239 --> 00:55:04.079 We don't get that pay until the very next month. 00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:11.519 So if you start training in February, yeah, you start training in February, you're not gonna see a check until April because you gotta work all of March first. 00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:14.800 So you gotta think about that when all those, like we said earlier, the bills don't stop. 00:55:14.960 --> 00:55:15.280 They don't. 00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:19.920 So try your best to save your coins because you're going to need them. 00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:22.559 Because that first year, it's the struggle bus. 00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:29.760 Yeah, I will also say take it as you want. 00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:41.280 I'm not saying you need to do this, but if you are working somewhere you have tenor tenure where you can take a month off or two, do that. 00:55:41.599 --> 00:55:47.599 Do that because also coming into training, you will either find out if you're going to sink or swim. 00:55:47.679 --> 00:55:47.920 Yeah. 00:55:48.159 --> 00:55:55.119 You will find out because you didn't learn your um PAs in time or announcements buttons. 00:55:55.360 --> 00:55:57.599 Yeah, announcements, you yeah, I said PAs. 00:55:57.840 --> 00:56:07.360 Your announcements in time, you're getting sent home because you didn't learn the airport codes in time enough that you needed to, because they're quizzing you and testing you on those, you're getting sent home. 00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:15.519 Because you decided not to shave one day and you're they done said something to you and you didn't take it serious, you're getting sent home. 00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:27.760 So sometimes taking a month off from your job that you might currently have that you can possibly go back to would be a if things go left, would be a saving grace. 00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:36.960 Because until you are walking to get pinned your

wings, you are still not safe. 00:56:39.599 --> 00:56:42.239 And even when you're walking to get your wings, you're not safe. 00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:44.559 You're not safe until after you receive those wings. 00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:44.800 Yep. 00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:46.239 You ain't saying so you're probation. 00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:46.880 Well, it's weird. 00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:48.480 That's what we're really talking about. 00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:51.519 But anyway, well, yeah, like it's it's important. 00:56:51.599 --> 00:57:00.800 And that's it goes also making sure that you have money aside for the clothes you're gonna need while you're in training because you have to be business casual every day that you're in training. 00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:06.400 Yeah, and if your airline doesn't provide clothes things for you to wear, because some do, you have to pay for that as well. 00:57:06.559 --> 00:57:10.719 So make sure that you have that you're coming to training with the right attire. 00:57:11.119 --> 00:57:19.440 Absolutely, and we'll touch on attire and uh we got because this is a great conversation in another episode. 00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:26.639 Um but just making sure um your appearance is as such, you know. 00:57:26.719 --> 00:57:35.199 If you're not used to certain things um in terms of your appearance or attire, um yeah, we're gonna talk about that. 00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:40.880 So that is going to happen in our next episode where we are going to address the newbies in the room. 00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:43.760 So uh definitely be on the lookout. 00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:55.199 We want to uh appreciate each and every one of you for um sitting on the jump seat with us, talking, um, engaging, coming back to engage. 00:57:55.440 --> 00:58:06.639 Don't forget to follow us on Jumpseat Chronicles Podcast on just about every social media platform there is Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, because they were adamant about getting us on TikTok. 00:58:06.880 --> 00:58:07.360 Yes, thank you. 00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:10.639 Thank y'all for all the support on TikTok because y'all have been blowing us up on TikTok. 00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:11.360 Yes. 00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:18.480 Um, YouTube, um, we're on Apple Music, we are on, I believe, Amazon. 00:58:18.559 --> 00:58:20.559 Uh, we're definitely on iHeart. 00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:24.400 Our official Buzz Sprout page is there. 00:58:24.719 --> 00:58:26.159 Make sure you reach out to us. 00:58:26.400 --> 00:58:30.320 When you see us out, we love the support that you all are giving. 00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:31.119 The love has been real. 00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:31.760 It's been real. 00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:37.519 I'm working at my airline, and so many people are like, oh my God, I didn't even know you worked here. 00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:40.800 Like, I just listened to you, I just saw your video. 00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:41.599 We love that. 00:58:41.760 --> 00:58:43.679 We it is very inspiring. 00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:48.400 It gives us encouragement to keep doing it and keep uh going on. 00:58:48.639 --> 00:59:02.159 Um, so y'all know I am Josh JJ, but you can find me specifically on I am JJ Boyd on Instagram, on uh Facebook, it's JJ Boyd. 00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:08.719 Uh and yeah, that's how you can locate me on social media. 00:59:09.039 --> 00:59:14.719 Uh, if you want to find me on Insta, it's Miss M Miss Mitchit. 00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:21.840 And if you want to find me on the clock app, uh it's me she marie. 00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:24.000 That's where you can find me. 00:59:24.239 --> 00:59:26.159 And uh Darren, where are you? 00:59:26.400 --> 00:59:29.280 Um, if you can find me on Instagram, that's the only one I'm giving y'all. 00:59:29.920 --> 00:59:30.639 Because maybe. 00:59:31.119 --> 00:59:31.360 Yeah. 00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:39.280 Um, if you find me on Instagram, it's Foy Boy Forever, F-O-Y-B-O-Y, the number four, E-V-E-R, Foy Boy Forever. 00:59:39.360 --> 00:59:40.000 So hit us up. 00:59:40.159 --> 00:59:43.599 Show us some love, inbox us with questions, but don't get too crazy. 00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:44.400 Yeah. 00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:46.400 Um, but yeah, reach out to us. 00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:49.360 Let us know how y'all liking the page and liking the podcast. 00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:51.679 And we appreciate all the love and support. 00:59:51.920 --> 01:00:03.199 As a reminder, the opinions shared on this podcast are our own and do not reflect those of our employer and any affiliate organization. 01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:07.280 It's not about the destination, it's about the perspective. 01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:10.880 We land in places only seen on television or read about in books. 01:00:11.039 --> 01:00:15.119 We recognize how big and small the world truly is at 35,000 feet. 01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:17.199 Thanks for riding the jumpsy with us. 01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:19.360 Until next time, we'll see y'all on the next fly. 01:00:19.599 --> 01:00:20.639 See y'all later.
