Here I am, writing my introductory letter, thinking to myself – “How in the heck did I become aGrey Eagle?”
Well, we all know how we got here.
I am Melanie Jarvi and am honored to serve as your president for 2016.
I was hired at American Airlines in 1999 and was fortunate enough to fly the 727, 757, 767 and the 737.
I reside in Georgia, spending my time traveling and chasing after my 5-year-old granddaughter!
This year we have many challenges and, more importantly, celebrations. Merging all the carriersthat now form the new American Airlines gives our organization opportunities for growth andfresh perspectives. I don’t know about you, but I think this is very exciting!
New Orleans is the host city for our annual convention. Monthly local luncheons are planned with the intent of gaining new members and reconnecting with fellow crew members. Current information is available on our website www.TheGreyEagles.org.
The Grey Eagles are not just wheelchair races! Get involved, stay involved – this is your organization!
See you in New Orleans!

The Grey Eagles Newsletter 2016 Page Thirteen
When I mention to my wife that I miss flying by being retired, she puts me in the mock-up around bedtime for 8 hours.
She has a chair in a closet, puts on the vacuum cleaner to simulate cockpit air noise, has a dim nite-lite tosimulate cockpit lighting, serves luke-warm chicken with cold vegetables on a tray.
When I get sleepy and attempt to doze off, she knocks twice loudly on the door to simulate the F/As entering the cockpit.
Then after 6 hours she turns on a flood light directly in front of me to simulate the sun coming up whenapproaching 20 west.
I then get a cup of coffee that has been in the coffee maker all night.
Finally she lets me out, and I have to get in the back seat of her car while she runs morning errands tosimulate the bus ride to the hotel.
When we get home, I tell her I am ready for bed, and the bedroom door is locked for an hour to simulatethe hotel rooms not being ready.
When I promise to never “complain” about being retired, I am allowed to enjoy my “layover” and go to bed.
Oh, and one more thing, she talks to her friends loudly outside the bedroom door to simulate the hotelmaids chattering in the hall in their native language.
After two hours of sleep she calls the phone next to the bed from her cell and says, “This is crew scheduling,and we have a reroute for you. Do you have something to write with?”
No, I guess I don’t miss it after all
