  • 9/11 – We will never forget!

    Silence has strength. Often times silence is more powerful than words. Today I have decided not to remain silent. That’s Terry Thames, an American Airlines pilot, hanging out of the cockpit window. This is the first American Airlines flight returning to Washington Dulles after the skies were reopened four days…

  • Flight attendant training schools

    Dear Heather, Could you please tell me which course of action I should take to become a flight attendant. Should I take a college training program that offers a diploma, or should I go to a airline and go through their training program? I have read a lot concerning flight…

  • Flight attendant Pam Ann now on tour!

  • 20 ways to use a maxi pad in flight

    Before I share the list – 20 ways to use a maxi-pad in flight, as well as a video created to go along with the list, I first must explain how this post even came to be. I don’t want you to think I spend my time sitting around thinking…

  • Laviator makes it into Urban Dictionary!

    Hi Heather! I got Laviator in the Urban Dictionary! I wanted to put your name in it since it IS your thing, but I was afraid they wouldn’t accept it. It says not to use “non-celebrity” names. Maybe I should have waited til AFTER the book haha! I’m feeling a…

  • A letter from Author Gary Buslik concerning the flight attendant call button & a frequent flier

    Dear Heather,   If I push the call button, what’s rude about the attendant asking me what I need? Maybe Ron could have used a maxi pad.   Gary Buslik   Dear Gary,   While I do love frequent flying Ron (even if he is a two-timin cheat!), your letter cracked me up.  I think every…
