Sitting cooling our heels a half hour after we arrived due to the airport being in “Code Red” status - anyone know wtf is going on?!

We are booked from CHS-DFW, then DFW-BCN in main cabin extra at the end of this month - I’ve heard mixed opinions about on-time departures, flight crew attitudes, carry-ons, etc - and I’d like to be as well prepared as I can be. This is only our 3rd transatlantic flight, and our first with AA.

Also, for longer flights I like to bring little gift bags for the FAs - if y’all can think of anything in particular besides the basics like koozies, tissues, candy, mints/gum, eye gel masks - I’d appreciate hearing your suggestions as I’m currently drawing a blank on what to put in there. Thanks in advance for any advice and/or info!

Saw some upside down pineapple magnets down the hall, so we know we are amongst friends! We would love to meet up with fun, likeminded couples for drinks, shows, dinner, laughs - and see if it leads to something REALLY interesting 🤭

I can’t quit IC completely just yet, I’ve still got a lot of debt to clear up - but it will be nice to have a regular paycheck from a W2 again. Relying on gig work in this economy is ROUGH. Hang in there everyone 🧡

B terminal is wall-to-wall people who are hacking and sneezing, it’s hot, babies are crying, gate lice are everywhere, I just watched a couple change their child’s poopy butt on the floor inside the grab and go snack area - directly next to the foods - then dad tossed the funky baby fudge blintz into the open bin that’s 10 feet from the waiting area. It smells like despair, axe body spray, and ass in here. And since when do we have to show our ID to board?! Our arrival is also now delayed an hour because of asshole politicians who don’t give a rat’s ass about us plebes, or if they get paid because they’re already overly wealthy and don’t grasp the concept of living paycheck to paycheck. So I

I had my licenses for several years and proceeded to let it lapse after I started working in a different industry and couldn’t get the CEUs I needed. I was hired by an agent this week, and I’m going to PearsonVUE to test. I passed the exam the first time I took it in 2015, so I guess I’m just wondering if it’s much different than it was 10 years ago. I know the testing center is different, but the rules all seem to be the same as they were before. I’m not terribly worried about my knowledge base, I did the job for six years and the concepts have always made sense to me - I’m just having a little bit of pre-exam jitters because I get anxious when I’m not 100% sure what to expect. TIA for any
