Dear PHL Flight Attendants:

Stepped Up Inspection on Crews
 

The Department of Agriculture is making a concerted effort to ensure that the US Crew Member Declarations specifies every single edible item you have brought into the country. This includes wine, meats, cheeses, cookies, candies, etc. In other words if you can eat it, please declare it. The Department of Agriculture has stepped up crew member inspections and is fining each crew member $500.00 for not listing the edible items and not checking the appropriate box. If it is listed on your declaration but not an approved item they will confiscate it without a fine. If it's not listed you WILL be fined. For a list of approved foods you may bring into the country please visit http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/vacation/kbyg/ or ask for a pamphlet from Customs Officials.

 

Departure of PHL Base Manager

 

On behalf on Council 70 and all the flight attendants in Philadelphia, we wish to congratulate Base Manager Sunny Levitt as she leaves US Airways. She has been an instrumental part of the organization and she will be missed. We wish her the best as she sets forth in pursuit of her dreams.

 

You Can Be Whatever
You Want To Be!


There is inside you
all of the potential
to be whatever you want to be,
all of the energy
to do whatever you want to do.
Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
doing what you want to do,
and each day, take one step
towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue,
hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find
that you are the person you dreamed of,
doing what you wanted to do,
simply because you had the courage
to believe in your potential
and to hold on to your dream.
