Frustrated Ex-Delta Flight Attendant wants her job back

In Atlanta, Georgia, Amber Robillard has expressed sadness over losing her job, and has stated that she would like to have her job back. 
In case you do not recall, Amber is the flight attendant that was found to be carrying a handgun in her luggage. 
She was booked and charged, but the charges were later dropped. She is also appealing her firing from Delta. 
Really? She is appealing her firing? She is lucky that she did not go to jail. 
She is a person that I would not want to have on a flight, after all, she was confused about whether or not a hand gun was on her person.

100th Post!

This is the 100th post for my blog, and I really am enjoying posting to the blog, it has been and is a lot of fun for me. 
The big news right now is something that we have all heard murmurings about for a long time "Delta Airlines is hiring for flight attendants!"
Delta is a wonderful carrier, and there are thousands who have been waiting to become a Delta applicant, but until now, they have not opened their doors to hiring. 
For first day applicants, the process was a long one. The Delta site was hit very hard by potential applicants vying for a position with the legacy carrier. The site kept collapsing, leaving applicants wondering what to do. 
Fortunately, Delta already had that figured in, and, with a handy toll free number and a patience for hold time, applicants were able to get help once they were stuck with a page that displayed the dreaded "loading" sign at the top of the page. 
After the person came on the phone, and hold was over, the person on the other end of the phone was unfailingly courteous, thoughtful, and asked and answered questions with a pleasantness that is not often seen in todays' version of customer service on the phone. 
A screening involved answering several questions, and giving many facts over the phone. The  process was easy and painless. 
For a lucky few, they were informed that they were cleared of this portion of screening, and that they would have their resumes reviewed and that follow up contact would be made between 2-3 days from now all the way up to 3 weeks from now. 
From then, another phone interview, and then, successful applicants will be informed that they will be flown to Atlanta for the final interview. 
For all of the applicants out there, I wish you all the best of luck, and to Delta Airlines, congratulations on a profitable last quarter, and to opening the floodgates to thousands who would love to be a part of your fine organization.
