Snuck in one last work event at the @nbaaphotos Opa Locka Regional ForumAfter coming to these events for almost a decade, I’m always reminded of how amazing it is to build one’s network in this industry, collecting gems of people along the way. Seeing professionals I’ve know for years building incredible companies that serve business aviation in different facets is pretty special. Congratulations to @c2thet on @fly_alliance and of course everyone’s favorite luxury caterer in the Teterboro area @nuhmanyc Not photographed but I always ADORE seeing @internationaljet - talk about luxe details on details on details ✨✨✨✨✨✨Flightess isn’t only for CFA’s; comment your company below!!!

Two things I keep onboard that make cocktails inflight an easy, elevated slam dunk? 🍹@casamigos Chile salt rimmer (works on bloody Mary’s, margaritas, etc) this spicy cocktail rimmer combines extra-coarse Oregon sea salt with lime juice and chile peppers, bringing a fun, lively spice to your favorite drinks onboard🍊🍋Dehydrated Citrus Wheels- Dehydrated garnishes are a great way to add sophistication and flavor to your cocktails as a dried lime wheel will not throw off the overall balance of the drink. Jimmy Barrett, the bar development manager of Zuma in Las Vegas says “Fresh lime might have more aroma, but actually dehydrated has more of an intense flavor, which adds to the experience.”Benjamin Rouse, the bar lead at Henley in Nashville, agrees. He believes dehydrated citrus is not only aesthetically pleasing but provides more control. “When you use a fresh garnish in a cocktail, the juice from the fruit slowly dilutes the flavor as it was initially made,” he saysWhat’s your go-to inflight cocktails (or mocktails!) to make inflight?!

1. A notable variety of bathroom amenities is provided2. The bathroom amenities are exceptionally luxurious3. Placement of bathroom amenities is convenient and careful4. The bathroom is exceptionally clean5. The bathroom is extremely well-maintained 6. Placement of bathroom linens is convenient and careful7. The lighting in the bathroom is sufficient for all intended tasks such as grooming and makeup application (I once had a client who depended on doing her own makeup before landing therefore an additional makeup mirror was purchased and set up prior to landing)BOOKMARK TO REMEMBER THESE STEPS WHEN SETTING UP YOUR PRIVATE JET LAVATORY ‼️

I’ve been a little silent on social media the past few months soaking in every magical (and even the not so *~magical~*) moments of being pregnant but I very much look forward to sharing with you all the amazing projects I’ve been a part of as well as the things I couldn’t live without flying and working while pregnant Stay Tuned ✨✨

LETS TALK CONTRACTOR LIFE! Read below::Being a contractor essentially means a CFA is not salaried with any one operator, company, or individual owner/flight department, rather the CFA is available for a day rate. Although you lack a full time salary and benefits, you are able to pick and choose what trips you accept and when you work. If a CFA contractor lives in an area with frequent private aviation (New York, Los Angeles, Southern Florida, etc.), there is quite a lot of opportunityThere is a saying in the sector of contracting, “Feast or Famine.” There may be some months where you get called every week for another trip while other months the phone is dead and silent. You have to financially prepare for the worst. Contractors who are successful treat every flight like an interview - you cannot afford to have one bad flight as a contractor, otherwise the company or pilot may never call you back again for another trip. Another thing to be aware of is that if you turn down too many trips from one pilot or operator, they may stop calling entirely. It’s important to maintain and foster excellent working relationships with anyone who may hire you for a trip.
