This was my very first training trip as a flight attendant for Piedmont Airlines. We flew from North Carolina to Nassau in the Bahamas. This was the first time I got to "work" as a flight attendant. We did not get to sit in the jumpseats, but we worked the beverage carts and got to see exactly what the job entailed.

May 31, 1989: At our Flight Attendant Graduation, my dad, who was a Captain for Piedmont Airlines, pinned on my wings. We were the last class of 1989 to receive Piedmont Wings. The Piedmont/USAir merger was already underway and we would soon become USAir.

August 4, 1989: The day of the change-over from Piedmont to USAir, I was flying on one of the last airplanes to have the Piedmont Paint Scheme. This picture was taken on the ramp at Norfolk, VA. I am the flight attendant on the far right. I was still a flight attendant on probation, so notice that I have my hair pulled back into a bun. Although I am not wearing heels. I think I wore heels to my interview and not once afterwards! The Piedmont Aircraft all had names. This one was the Mississippi Valley Pacemaker.
