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 SIMPSON WOMEN 1/28/99 Women's Hi Game: Betty Hyatt, 217. Women's Hi Series: Patty Brown, 567.

"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.

They'll peddle for dance team The Highclimber dance team's booster club reportedly will hold a fund-raising garage sale Saturday to help defray the cost of the girls' March 19-20 state competition in Yakima. Featuring goods from fully 27 families and including clothes and toys and exercise equipment and even a western saddle, the sale will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Shelton PUD Auditorium downtown. 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 SIMPSON WOMEN 1/28/99 Women's Hi Game: Betty Hyatt, 217. Women's Hi Series: Patty Brown, 567.

"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.
