Although I was flying the usual Jet Blue, my seatmate was an airline attendent from American Airlines. Joanne was on her way back to Rochester (home) after being gone for only 3 days to Tokyo. Her schedule sounded crazy at first - leaving home Monday early morning to "report for work" in NYC. Her commute is drive to the Rochester airport, hop a plane - and voila - she's at work in JFK! Her day starts with a 12 or 14 hour flight to Tokyo.....then some sleep, food, reading, sleep and back to work for another 12-14 hour flight back to JFK - then the 1 hour hop to Rochester. Whew - I'm tired just hearing about it! But....she continues to elaborate - and now she has 8 days off.....not so bad now is it?
In our conversation we also realized our connection - a mutual friend, Chris, she knows through church and I used to work with at J&J. Small world again!
