28
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.959
you ever had a chance to meet a stewardess who
29
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:10.680

30
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:16.560
You know now they're called flight attendants? Do you remember PanAm?
31
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:18.759
Oh? Yeah?
32
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:23.960
How about Eastern Airlines? I guess that's dating me. Tell me,
33
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.319
can you imagine what it would be like to attend
34
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:33.000
a wedding and a sultan's palace, or imagine being in
35
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:37.919
Moscow during a coup attempt? Now? Would you like some
36
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.159
Desert storm stories?
37
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:42.000

00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:09.039
my pleasure to welcome to our podcast Tanya Anderson. Hi, Tanya,
56
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.240
how you doing today?
57
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.319
I'm fine. Happy holidays to you, January.
58
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.600
I know, isn't this exciting this holiday season? I can't
59
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.399
believe now it's here already.
60
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.360
Now we're in DC. Are you on a layover or
61
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.199
are you well? I'm on my days off. So this
62
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.720
is where I grew up. So I came back to
63
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.519
see friends and go to some holiday party, some good ones.
64
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.879
Okay, okay, that's perfect. That's kind of what the flight
65
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.399
attendants do. They're all over the world, seventy five countries,
66
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.600
you know. I checked my log book. I've only been
67
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.000
to fifty.
68
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.040
But that's but it's a blessing. It's great because you know,
69
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.519
you take so much information out of it and from
70
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.600
your experience, and it just goes into your memory and
71
00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.839
you have that experience for the rest of your life.
72
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.839
Call back on for sure.
73
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.120
Okay, So I wanted to talk a little bit about
74
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:11.120
flying and working during the holidays and how that affects
75
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:16.439
airline families. You know, for our family, my husband's schedule
76
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:21.439
determined when we would celebrate the holiday, and we would
77
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.240
have our holiday when he was home, and we worked
78
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.920
around it. Share with us a little a few holidays
79
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:29.680
stories you.
80
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:35.160
Have, well, you know, for us, it's kind of pot
81
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.560
look because I'm with an airline where they tell you
82
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.879
where you're going to be flying to, So like about
83
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:42.759
the middle of December, we'll know where we're going to
84
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.199
be flying for January and then you can start making plans.
85
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.800
So I took the first eleven days of December off,
86
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.879
which is our usual thing because we fly like three
87
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.680
weeks at a time abroad. And before last I went
88
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.079
to a party at the Czech Embassy which was lovely
89
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.040
live music by an ensemble playing classical music and they
90
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.439
had a really nice buffet. Unfortunately the ambassador was there
91
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.199
because I would have loved to have met him. That's
92
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.439
something really nice to do. And actually it's kind of
93
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.879
funny because on the way out you had to go
94
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.759
through the security not the gate, but the little security house.
95
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.680
And I got there and I'm waiting for the uber
96
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.000
and then the door gets stuck and everybody, you know,
97
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.959
they run and go home. They're trying to get in
98
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.560
the door and I start fighting with the door, and
99
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.839
security guards is, don't hurt yourself. I'm like, no, I'm
100
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.959
a flight attendant. We're stubborn. And so I got the
101
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.600
door open. Here comes this flood of people to leave.
102
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.839
And then last time I went to the annual California
103
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.000
State Society party up on Capitol Hill and the Canon
104
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.519
Caucus building. Yeah, it's really interesting. I took my girlfriend.
105
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.199
She'd never been on the hill before. So, you know,
106
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.839
I used to lobby as a volunteer for International human Rights.
107
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.600
So it's quite enormous, but it's heavy stuff, you know,
108
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.040
you go by you see the plan on the wall
109
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.680
with their name and what state they're from. And there's
110
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:07.759
some direct decorations out front, you know, like nutcrackers, big
111
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.160
big nutcrackers, like five feet tall, that sort of thing.
112
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.800
You know. For some of our listeners, who have you
113
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.959
been on the show before, I'm so happy to have
114
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:16.839
you back with us.
115
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.680
Share with our listeners the name.
116
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:25.160
Of your airline and what kind of airplanes you fly,
117
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.759
and tell us a little bit about the airline you
118
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:29.160
work for.
119
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:29.639
Now.
120
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.600
Okay, it's a charter airline, so it's called Atlas and
121
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:39.759
we we fly that the NBA and the NFL and actually,
122
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.560
my colleagues, I haven't got Moulster yet, but my colleagues
123
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.240
flew that indianman from Bombay, the one who's extremely wealthy,
124
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.240
where they had the enormous wedding and everybody's coming out
125
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.199
with diamonds, you know, the size of silver dollars around
126
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.000
their neck. I don't know if you don't about that,
127
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.680
But anyway, my colleagues flew that flight. I didn't. I
128
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.720
wills they fly the military, but I love that because
129
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.839
they're just so polite, so wonderful. I support them one
130
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.959
hundred percent. I love kidding with them. Sometimes they'll say, gentlemen,
131
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:11.560
do you know why they don't put any liquor of
132
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.439
this airplane because they A'll give it all to you.
133
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:18.319
That's great.
134
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.319
And the type of airplane you fly is seven forty
135
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.560
seven usually right, Yeah, that's.
136
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.839
Right, just like PanAm who had like about thirty eight
137
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.120
of them. Yes, we have a seven thirty SEVENS and
138
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.040
seven to sixty sevens.
139
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.840
Okay, And that's the seven forty seven. That's the airplane
140
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:39.200
that my husband, that's where his career ended on flying
141
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.480
down to Australia and New Zealand. And that's one of
142
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.559
the very favorite planes.
143
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.759
You were talking earlier about the door at the embassy.
144
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:50.639
I'm a curious question.
145
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:55.120
Have you ever had to evacuate an airplane?
146
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.720
No, I haven't, thank God, and I've been flying since
147
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.440
night ten eighty five. But we've had some other pretty
148
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:08.120
strange things. Yeah. We had like a medical emergency a
149
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.279
little bit over a year ago and the soldier he
150
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.320
was like twenty two and he caught really ill and
151
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.039
the colonel was administering oxygen to him and he went
152
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.480
through three oxygen bottles. Like just why we went up
153
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.440
the coast of America so now we're starting across the
154
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:29.639
Atlantic to go to Lithuania, and the purser was on it.
155
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.200
You know, he's calling medlink to find out what to do.
156
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.879
And I just had this inherent feeling that you know
157
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.279
when you're twenty two years old and you're so ill
158
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.639
like that. And the colonel said every time he took
159
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.879
the mask away that the soldier would throw up. When
160
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:45.879
I heard that, I'm like, well, it doesn't sound good,
161
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:47.600
So I said, I said to the colonel, We're going
162
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:49.799
to do everything we can to turn around get back.
163
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.120
And so we did, and we landed in New England
164
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.639
to a place where they know us very very well
165
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:58.679
and they're absolutely absolutely wonderful. It turned out this this
166
00:09:58.799 --> 00:09:59.759
kid had a bad heart.
167
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.360
Found out later, Oh okay, so that would have caused
168
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:03.960
that problem.
169
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:04.639
You know.
170
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:09.000
I can remember when I was with Eastern Airlines and
171
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:14.519
we went through training and we had to practice simulate
172
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:19.240
evacuating an airplane. So they took us out into Biscayme Bay.
173
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.639
This is a long time ago, and we all had
174
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:27.759
to jump out of these robots, all of these inflatable boats,
175
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.600
and we had to simulate saving people in the water.
176
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.879
It was as insane. What kind of training did you
177
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:41.960
have for evacuation? Oh? All kinds of things. But you know, really, January,
178
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.519
it hasn't changed as much as you might think. So
179
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.080
when I trained with America, sorry, when I trained with
180
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.200
pan AM in nineteen eighty five, it is very similar
181
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:51.600
to what you said. So we did it in a
182
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.360
swimming pool.
183
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:52.840
You know.
184
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:56.879
You you know, you inflate the life the life raft,
185
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.360
and you take turns inflating your vest, you know, like
186
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:01.519
you do it you're leaving the airplane. Now before you
187
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.519
leave the airplane, because then you know, it's like all
188
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.519
of a sudden, we're like this, You're in everybody's way. Yeah,
189
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.360
then you and then you similate different things. You put
190
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.200
up a raft, you know, and then then you delegate
191
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:17.159
authority to sorry, you put a canopy up over the raft.
192
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.480
Then you start delegating authority to people. And you know,
193
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.960
you discuss what you take off the airplane, like the
194
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.000
first aid kid, maybe even a survival kid. You know,
195
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.440
you have a survival manual in there, you know, you
196
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:30.200
do you.
197
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:30.600
Go through that.
198
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.639
It really hasn't changed as much as you might think.
199
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.960
Okay, well, all I remember is that the coast Guard
200
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.919
they were going around making way and we're having the
201
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.000
best time because they were pulling out us back in
202
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.039
the boat. Everyone who was wearing bikinis. So I mean.
203
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:55.960
Everyone probably volunteered for that job. Uh, I know. Crazy times.
204
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.559
Now this this holiday? Will you be?
205
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.720
Do you know now where you will be on Christmas
206
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:03.159
this year?
207
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.120
No, I have no idea. I have no idea. My
208
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.320
colleagues right now are over Germany and they're going to
209
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.840
all the Christmas festivals, which is really fabulous. Yeah, it's
210
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.159
so beautiful. They decorated so well, you know, and they
211
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:20.519
you go around and you have that mulled wine and oh,
212
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.919
it's just there's just so many wonderful things to buy,
213
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.720
and they're they're not as expensive as some store, so
214
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:27.919
you know, you're happy to find some bargains.
215
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.679
Oh gosh, well, I remember all during our flying years,
216
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.399
all the bargains. And it was interesting how the flight attendants,
217
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.519
if they'd find a great place or great store, it
218
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.799
would just spread and it would go through the grapevine
219
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.639
and yeah, everyone would you know, you had your list
220
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.639
at every layover, what store to go, what street, what
221
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:51.960
name to say.
222
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.399
For except underscore your point. Like two weeks ago, I
223
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.840
was in South Korea. Well, you know, there was something
224
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.000
there happened a few days ago, and we were only
225
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.759
there one night, and I heard through breakfast the next
226
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.360
day and ran out to my favorite little shop, and
227
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:08.559
they've got some really nice things in there. You know,
228
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:12.320
these wonderful boxes that wooden boxes are inlaid with mother
229
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.480
pearl in a dragon or you know, a tiger or
230
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:19.240
something like that. I mean, just really beautiful, beautiful.
231
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.559
Stuff to give friends back home for Christmas. Oh my gosh,
232
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.799
talk about Christmas shopping. That's that's a dream. You know.
233
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.799
