My aunt died and they wouldn't let me make a phone call home until after training was over that day. It's cut throat. I saw a lady get in trouble for having a key chain that was not the right color!
Unfortunately, I was fired for being associated with a bad egg. He apparently was exposing himself to other flight attendants. I didn't know that and we had just met on a flight and went out on the town because it's rare you meet a flight attendant that actually wants to have fun. Pretty sure he drugged me because I have no recollection of that night after dinner and I ONLY HAD 2 MARTINIS. I ended up missing our first leg the next day and got alcohol screened because of it.
They fired me because I blew a .02 LOLLLLLL
Anyway... what I didn't realize is that he was already in big trouble with the company for I guess "exposing himself" therefore, I didn't stand a chance. They wouldn't listen to me or hear me out. I was guilty of missing a flight, which is NOT GOOD bc of minimum crew rules. I'm sure that flight got delayed quite a bit, OOPS, and because I blew a measly .02 sooo maybe it was justified?! Lol They sent me home and made me wait a month before they told me I was fired. So I was home for a month without pay... just waiting. Like that's not punishment enough lolll.
Moral of the story... Join an airline with a UNION. They will fight for you in situations like this and you actually have a chance to defend yourself.
