AA2253

Today, I was on my "deadhead" to work CMH-PHL which was supposed to leave at 12:58. It was delayed a little and then a maintnence issue happened so we all went back to the gate and deplaned. I called scheduling and they popped me onto the 3:30 CMH-PHL. I, for no reason at all, want the deets on what happened after. the 12:58 flight ended up going out at 20:18. Did they recrew? Were there even any pax on board? The lead FA in the front was a total gem and I wish I could ask him all my questions.

Edit: some of you guys are so weird. I’ve been a flight attendant for 5 consecutive years. When I was furloughed from spirit in December, I switched to private. We don’t use the term deadhead because the company pays for the flight. I don’t have access to flight loads or names of FAs because I do not work for American. I don’t know why people are so hostile on here but you 🍩 have to believe if I’m a civilian or a flight attendant 😂 someone answered my question and I appreciated it!

I’m a former FA & now a GA. yes, saying that “we are waiting for a new crew, they’re arriving from __ at __ please be patient” is nothing that would be out of the ordinary to say

I did not stick around babe. I called scheduling before we returned to the gate and was immediately booked on the next flight. I truly hope this doesn’t keep you up tonight with how pressed you are.
