  • MERGER ALERT!

    Delta and Northwest are on the verge of merging. If approved, the deal would create the world’s largest airline and could be followed by more consolidation. All I’ve got to say about this is…NOOOO! And I mean NO! NO! NO! NO! Okay maybe yes, but only if MY airline were…

  • Taking It Off On Take Off

    My crew and I were sitting in the hotel van traveling about 2 miles per hour in the falling snow on our way to the layover hotel in downtown Saint Louis, when I spun around in my seat and exclaimed, “NO WAY!” The bus driver snickered as the windshield wipers…

  • DO NOT SLAP THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT!

    R “I’m not your bitch, bitch!” squealed the flight attendant, hands on hips, after he was slapped across the face. Alright, fine, so the flight attendant didn’t actually say that. To be honest, I’m not even sure what the flight attendant said, but I’m not your bitch, bitch would have…

  • WHAT IF GIRL

    I have a secret. Kind of. Not only do I watch reality TV, and not afraid to admit it, but I also (every once in a while) google ex boyfriends late at night. And no, I’m not GWI (googling while intoxicated). I’m not! What I am is curious. Curious about…

  • IF THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES WERE REALLY FLIGHT ATTENDANTS…

    There’s nothing like waking up in the morning, looking around the crash pad and realizing that I really am at home, in my very own bed, not laying over in a dumpy airport hotel, nor on an airplane surrounded by miserably cramped passengers. You may be inclined to think flight…

  • On Call With Reality TV

    What does a reserve flight attendant on call do while it’s raining buckets outside? Watch reality TV while waiting for the phone to ring of course! Yes, it’s true, I’m a reality TV junkie, and I’m not afraid to admit it. I truly can’t get enough of shows like Project…

  • The F Word

    RESERVE, not the only time to use the F word, a word I use often…on reserve.

  • Reserve Sucks!

    I hoped, I prayed, I even tried to get pregnant, but nothing, not one thing, worked in the attempt to get out of reserve. That’s right, I’m on reserve in February. The WHOLE month of February. That means I’ll be on call twenty four hours a day, six days a…

  • IT’S NOT YOU!

    WRITING RULE #1: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILY TO READ WHAT YOU WRITE. The other day I was on my way home from the mall when I decided to call my mother. “Hey mom, it’s me!” I said, right before she handed the phone to my sister because her hands were…

  • Lunar Park II

    Like most flight attendants, I enjoy reading a good book. On the jumpseat. After the meal service of course! And one of the books I read on a jumpseat years ago flying back and forth from New York to whatever west coast city I was flying to that particular month…
