I just got a call from the Crew Desk.  I'm being sent on an open-ended assignment to Frankfurt, Germany. 

What does "open-ended" mean, you ask?  It's exactly what it sounds like: the Crew Desk has NO idea what they intend to do with me once I arrive in FRA. 

No matter how many times I've gotten an assignment like this in the past, it is still a bit unsettling to be sent to a foreign country with no hotel, no crew, no next assignment. 

But, whatcha gonna do?  So I'll just check the weather in Frankfurt, pack accordingly, download last night's episode of "The Bachelorette" and get on the plane tonight for the 7 1/2 hour flight. 

C'est la vie.  I would say that in German, but I don't know German.  Actually, I don't know French, either.  So I'll just say, "That's life!

See you all in few days, I guess!

xxxooo,  Sky

About the Author
I'm a 64 year-old flight attendant for a major US airline. Prior to that, I owned an ice cream store and six hot dog carts and put my five kids thru college on hot dog earnings! Prior to THAT, I was Director of International Administration for Domino's Pizza, Inc. I was married to my H.S. sweetheart (dad of my 5 kids) for 17 years. I've been with Jeff for 23 years, but we just finally got married in 2016! Jeff & I live in Cape Meares, OR right on the beach. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI, where many of my kids/relatives still live. My flying base is Washington, DC, where I have a condo that I stay in when I'm between flying trips. My dream is to retire and stay home with Jeff and my two cats, Kenneth & Barbara...not happening soon, though. So I go home whenever I can get a week or more off. I LOVE to meet up with other EXers in the cities where I lay over. I usually blog about what cities I'm laying over in, so let me know if I'm staying near you! I'll buy dinner!! Xxxooo, Sky
