Out in the Open
4 Michael Dicz
ItAVING MET MANY people in my travels,
with personalities running the entire spectrum
of temperament, I can safely say I have found
none nicer than those who work for American
Airlines.
Never before have I encountered so many peo-
ple in so many different jobs, working for the
same company, who are so courteous, happy,
smile so graciously and are as eager to go out of
their way to please.
It's downright unnerving.
I'm not sure I would have noticed this in any
other circumstance, but as I flew to Dallas to in-
terview for the position of flight attendant I
couldn't help but appreciate the love and good
will surrounding me.
And it all started with a phone call.
"MR. DIAZ," the kind voice on the other end
of the line said. "Would it be convenient if we
flew you to Dallas tomorrow for an interview?"
"[ think I can make it," I answered.
"Fine," she said with even more kindness. "A
ticket will be waiting for you at the check-in
counter at SeaTac. You will be leaving at 6:30 in
the morning and we will have you back in Seat-
tle by 8 p.m. Will that work for you?"
"Sure," I said.
"If you have any questions or need any assis-
tance at all, please don't hesitate to call me. I'm
here to make sure your arrangements are all
taken care of."
"Thank you," I said.
"Thank you," she said back.
"No, thank you," I said.
"By all means, thank you," she said.
I hung up, feeling more like a guest than a job
applicant.
FROM THE TIME I reached the ticket
counter tbr the flight down to my arrival at the
American Airlines Recruitment and Training
Center I was surrounded by courtesy.
But as warm and friendly as all those people
were they didn't hold a candle to the recruiters
who interviewed me.
"Hi. How are you?" the first recruiter asked in
a tone that was anything but rhetorical.
"Fine," I answered.
"Did you have a good flight?" he asked with a
look of heartfelt concern.
"It was great," I said.
"That's nice," he said sincerely. "We are al-
ways concerned that each and every passenger
on American comes away with the best experi-
ence possible."
I .nodded and smiled.
He smiled back.
"SO," HE SAID, almost cooing, "why do you
want to fly for American Airlines?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm not sure," I
said. "My friend Jack flies for Northwest and he
said I'd make a great flight attendant. And he
recommended I try American."
"That's very nice," he said, smiling even more
broadly and scribbling something down in his
notebook.
"Yeah," I said, "I'm not sure whether he
thought American was a class outfit or if he just

didn't want me to fly with him."
The interviewer laughed as if he actually got
my joke. I began to worry.
"Are there any questions you would like to ask
me?" he literally sang. This guy was very happy.
I briefly thought about asking him what kind
of weather pattern he was but then thought bet-
ter of it.
"Nope," I said.
"OKAY THEN," he said softly, his smile al-
most breaking his face. "I'll have you wait here,
and another recruiter will be in to see you to con-
firm some information and then you can go.
"Can I get you something to drink while you
wait?" he asked nicely.
I assured him no, and with that he got up, ex-
tended his hand, thanked me very, very much for
coming and wished me well.
I sat there in amazement. I couldn't believe
American Airlines would spend the money to fly
me from Seattle to Dallas and back again just to
interview me for no more than 20 minutes. And
then not ask me if I'd ever murdered anyone,
made bomb threats or picked my nose in public.
The door opened and in popped Suzie
Sunshine.
"Hi," she chirped. "How are you doing today?"
"So far so good," I replied.
"Great," she bubbled. "I just want to make
sure we have your address and phone number
right."
She did.
She smiled. I smiled. We both smiled.
"SO TELL ME," she said earnestly. "What
weakness would you bring to American?"
I thought about saying "my chin" but instead
said, "Gosh, I don't know. I think it's the weak-
ness of being human. The weakness of messing
up and making mistakes. The weakness of not
being perfect but, then, I'm not sure I want to be
perfect. I think that would be a terrible burden -
to have to do everything right all the time. I'm
not sure I could handle that."
She was somewhat taken aback. A funny look
came over her face.
"Okay," she said a little hesitantly, her smile
softly fading.
"Tell me about your strengths," she said.
"The strength to be able to learn from my mis-
takes. To take every experience as a learning op-
portunity. To understandmy weaknesses and
know that it's okay not to be perfect."
HER SMILE RETURNED to its full radi-
ance. She scribbled something down on a piece of
paper, turned it over and handed it to me.
"Please read the first sentence on this sheet,"
she said.
"Congratulations," I read. 'e are pleased to
offer you a position as a flight attendant for
American Airlines."
"What do you think?" she asked.
"I think that's really nice," I said.

4 Michael Dicz
ItAVING MET MANY people in my travels,
with personalities running the entire spectrum
of temperament, I can safely say I have found
none nicer than those who work for American
Airlines.
Never before have I encountered so many peo-
ple in so many different jobs, working for the
same company, who are so courteous, happy,
smile so graciously and are as eager to go out of
their way to please.
It's downright unnerving.
I'm not sure I would have noticed this in any
other circumstance, but as I flew to Dallas to in-
terview for the position of flight attendant I
couldn't help but appreciate the love and good
will surrounding me.
And it all started with a phone call.
"MR. DIAZ," the kind voice on the other end
of the line said. "Would it be convenient if we
flew you to Dallas tomorrow for an interview?"
"[ think I can make it," I answered.
"Fine," she said with even more kindness. "A
ticket will be waiting for you at the check-in
counter at SeaTac. You will be leaving at 6:30 in
the morning and we will have you back in Seat-
tle by 8 p.m. Will that work for you?"
"Sure," I said.
"If you have any questions or need any assis-
tance at all, please don't hesitate to call me. I'm
here to make sure your arrangements are all
taken care of."
"Thank you," I said.
"Thank you," she said back.
"No, thank you," I said.
"By all means, thank you," she said.
I hung up, feeling more like a guest than a job
applicant.
FROM THE TIME I reached the ticket
counter tbr the flight down to my arrival at the
American Airlines Recruitment and Training
Center I was surrounded by courtesy.
But as warm and friendly as all those people
were they didn't hold a candle to the recruiters
who interviewed me.
"Hi. How are you?" the first recruiter asked in
a tone that was anything but rhetorical.
"Fine," I answered.
"Did you have a good flight?" he asked with a
look of heartfelt concern.
"It was great," I said.
"That's nice," he said sincerely. "We are al-
ways concerned that each and every passenger
on American comes away with the best experi-
ence possible."
I .nodded and smiled.
He smiled back.
"SO," HE SAID, almost cooing, "why do you
want to fly for American Airlines?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm not sure," I
said. "My friend Jack flies for Northwest and he
said I'd make a great flight attendant. And he
recommended I try American."
"That's very nice," he said, smiling even more
broadly and scribbling something down in his
notebook.
"Yeah," I said, "I'm not sure whether he
thought American was a class outfit or if he just

didn't want me to fly with him."
The interviewer laughed as if he actually got
my joke. I began to worry.
"Are there any questions you would like to ask
me?" he literally sang. This guy was very happy.
I briefly thought about asking him what kind
of weather pattern he was but then thought bet-
ter of it.
"Nope," I said.
"OKAY THEN," he said softly, his smile al-
most breaking his face. "I'll have you wait here,
and another recruiter will be in to see you to con-
firm some information and then you can go.
"Can I get you something to drink while you
wait?" he asked nicely.
I assured him no, and with that he got up, ex-
tended his hand, thanked me very, very much for
coming and wished me well.
I sat there in amazement. I couldn't believe
American Airlines would spend the money to fly
me from Seattle to Dallas and back again just to
interview me for no more than 20 minutes. And
then not ask me if I'd ever murdered anyone,
made bomb threats or picked my nose in public.
The door opened and in popped Suzie
Sunshine.
"Hi," she chirped. "How are you doing today?"
"So far so good," I replied.
"Great," she bubbled. "I just want to make
sure we have your address and phone number
right."
She did.
She smiled. I smiled. We both smiled.
"SO TELL ME," she said earnestly. "What
weakness would you bring to American?"
I thought about saying "my chin" but instead
said, "Gosh, I don't know. I think it's the weak-
ness of being human. The weakness of messing
up and making mistakes. The weakness of not
being perfect but, then, I'm not sure I want to be
perfect. I think that would be a terrible burden -
to have to do everything right all the time. I'm
not sure I could handle that."
She was somewhat taken aback. A funny look
came over her face.
"Okay," she said a little hesitantly, her smile
softly fading.
"Tell me about your strengths," she said.
"The strength to be able to learn from my mis-
takes. To take every experience as a learning op-
portunity. To understandmy weaknesses and
know that it's okay not to be perfect."
HER SMILE RETURNED to its full radi-
ance. She scribbled something down on a piece of
paper, turned it over and handed it to me.
"Please read the first sentence on this sheet,"
she said.
"Congratulations," I read. 'e are pleased to
offer you a position as a flight attendant for
American Airlines."
"What do you think?" she asked.
"I think that's really nice," I said.
