Billings? No, Bellingham, WA

I wasn't supposed to go on reserve until 9am this morning. That doesn't matter much to crew support. All they care is that they have a trip to cover and I have a four day bucket. (bucket: meaning consecutive reserve days).
Actually I already had a 2 day trip on my schedule starting tomorrow, but they took it off to have me do this one. I didn't have to answer the phone at 4:15 this morning, but I did.

I could have said no, but I didn't. I took the trip. It's a four day, early shows, but good paying. The overnights are Bellingham, Vancouver & Rapid City. This morning was crazy. It was so early when they called and I only had an hour to pack. When I pulled up the trip on the computer, I thought my first overnight was in Montana. It wasn't until I was halfway to Salt Lake City that I realized it was Washington. Opps. Well excuse me...the airports codes are similar. BIL vs BLI.

Another nice mess up I did was not going to the right terminal this morning. I am used to doing United Express, but today the trip was Delta Connection. That makes a huge difference. SMF has two terminals and it's a nice walk inbetween them.
Here's how it went down:
I hurried to the crew lounge (terminal B) and checked in. I waited for a while wondering where my crew was. Finally, I decided that I'd better get to the airplane. So I go upstairs and check the monitor. Nothing says "Salt Lake City" Then it dawns on me and I looked down at the flight numbers on my trip sheet. All 3's. OH SHIT!! Pardon my mouth. Like a falling stack of dominoes, my mind puts it all together. 3's are Delta...Delta flys out of terminal A. I knew where I had to be and it was going to be a while before I could get there. I ran down the hall, down the elevator stairs and out the door. Cars, trucks and busses passed me. I saw one guy laugh at me. Well, I'm sure it was comical. A flight attendant running desperately to catch her flight. I just didn't want to get in trouble or delay the flight. When I got to the right terminal, I jumped ahead of a group of FFA boys and cut the line again in security. By the time I got to the gate, I was sweating. I had that plane preflight and ready to board in 10 minutes! Oh yeah! Now of course the flight did end up being delayed, but it certainly wasn't my fault. We had an antenna break. That grounds a plane. Luckily, maintenence had a spare and was able to fix it.

Where was I? Oh yeah, Canada...
This will be my first time to Canada. I'm a little nervous about it, though I really shouldn't be. I guess what I'm most concerned about are the security checks in the morning.
I've been warned that TSA will actually plant stuff on the plane to see if we find it. If we don't, I (not the company) can be fined. That is the same as here in USA, but Canada just seems to take a sick delight in watching us miss things.
I'm expecting it to be like....oh yeah, BTW- I found your knife, gun and the bomb that was taped to seat 9c...Have a great day!

Good times!
