How about that? I sed to work at one of the busiest Airports in the US, Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. Before I actually worked at the Airport, I worked in one of American Airlines Bldgs. near the airport making up Simulated Flights for the Flight Attendant Trainees. I packed the supplies needed on any given flight, which ever was assigned, along with the meal for that flight. Yes, actual food! I nprepared enough for the class & they actually sat in a 'classroom' made up of half an airplane. The real seats, ovens, aisle, overheads. It wsas quite the job, every piece of equipment for the assignments had a number, every cup, saucer, plate, fork & spoon. Teapots, trays, everything.
I them went on to work at the Airport at a Newsstand, this was about 86-90. I was able to go outside of my 'shop' and got in contact with passengers. It was WILD at that Airport! I loved the RUSH! the Hurriedness. Everybody going, going---quick! They are in the store trying to buy a newspaper & gum and their flight has already boarded 2 gates down! What a RIOT...
The best part is seeing the AIRLINE Reality Show that is on A&E, I think. It's just like that, but no, I didn't have to deal with the passengers in that matter, just in the shops.
Memories...a means of escaping Reality!
God bless.
