In my time at Northwest Airlines, I was trained as a management flight attendant so I could work trips in emergencies or when the crew ran out of time. This was our 747 Emergency locations cheat sheet. Yes I worked a delayed LAX-HNL flight a few times. #airlines #travel

Flashback to the 90's. I was in Tokyo for company business, our Northwest 747 was waiting for me at Narita. After the Delta merger the 747's went away in 2018. #airlines #travel
