American Airlines Seeks Volunteer Flight Attendants

Wednesday, 26 May 2010 | by Pat's Picks

The front page of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says American Airlines is seeking volunteer flight attendants in anticipation of an upcoming strike. Volunteers? Really? If the pilots went on strike would they get volunteers to fill in as well? The paper says the airline is looking for 4000 of its employees to consider taking a 17-day training program. Unfortunately, “crash course” is the phrase that comes to mind.
