Upper East Side

I arrived at JFK’s Pan Am World Port in the late afternoon and went directly down the disembarkation service stairs to the OPS crew desk. OPS desk was where the airline’s operational hub, pilots, aircrafts, flight service, catering, baggage, and EVERYONE got their orders. I was told in training school to check in with the crew desk at the assigned base as soon as I could. The crew desk was next to the crew lounge—a big waiting room filled with quiet, lethargic, uniform clad men and women. The OPS manager took down my information and asked if I had a contact address. I said “No, I don’t really. But, someone told me that, in a worst-case scenario, I could sleep in the crew lounge.” He said “You don’t really want to do that, even if you can. You have four days to find a place to live before scheduling can assign you a trip. Good luck.” I thanked him.
