Waking up in Washington, DC on the 57th anniversary of the March On Washington for Jobs and Freedom seems very surreal. With the news of a furlough, I felt it was more important now than ever to commemorate this time in history.

The aviation industry has been hit HARD during this pandemic. Here are a few tips on how to stay clean, safe, & sane during these though times.

In this episode I’ll give you a general overview of what working for a Mainline carrier is like. I’ve been in the industry, as a Flight Attendant, training specialist, & instructor since 2007. I spent over 8 years at the regionals and over 5 years at mainline. While the worlds overlap, there are some stark differences. Stay with me as I take you on a journey through all sectors of aviation, pay, benefits, travel, & lifestyle. Follow Airplanes And Afros on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

Welcome to Airplanes and Afros. In todays episode we will discuss the aviation sector: Commercial (regional). Commercial (regional) means that you will work for a privately owned company that has contracted flying with a mainline carrier such as United, Delta, and/or American. The contract is restricted to US territories as well as Canada and Mexico. These are companies like Republic, Skywest, Compass, American Eagle, GoJets, etc.. You will work alone or with 1 other flight attendant. You will be on reserve anywhere from 1 month to 5 years. Your aircraft(s) will seat 19-99 passengers. The down side is the pay is a bit less than a mainline carrier. The upside is you’ll serve less time on reserve. Just like mainline, you’ll also have full benefits for you, your family, and friends.
