Book Update

Many of my fellow crew members and passengers have asked about our book and when it's coming out.  We had hoped to have it out by this Valentine's Day but that is not going to happen.  Both Bobbie and I have been faced with family medical issues that we needed to deal with first.
 
We hope to have the book complete and available to you by 12/12/12!  We would love to hear from you in the meantime.  Please drop us a note or give us a call.  We would love to have you share your flying stories with us too!

OCCUPY WALL STREET!

 
This is Lilly!I met her at Occupy Wall Street in Manhattan on November 7, 2011.
 
My crew and I had a Newark overnight. We decided to be adventurous and get up early and catch the trains over to Ground Zero. We never did get into see the repaired site because of the need for tickets to enter. There were long lines and our time was limited. Next time I will go on line and get them before I go.
 
While looking around the Wall Street area for food we ran into the Occupy Wall Street. My crew rapidly passed by, however, I hesitated when I saw this little gal.

How I LUV to Fly! And, A Lesson for the 2012 Shift!

There have been so many interesting people on my planes lately!  I feel SO BLESSED!
 
I just got off a 3 day trip  working with a 70 year old flight attendant.  She was probably the prettiest soul I have met in a very long time!  She has been with SWA for 23 years.  Her work ethics are amazing.  Raised in Tennessee and a history of working three labor jobs at a time; this woman knows how to work!
 
She has a reputation for being outrageously funny and even received an award created by Herb Kelleher and Colleen Barrett in 1999 for her humor!

Having FUN on SWA!?!

I have had SO many folks tell me how much FUN they have on my flights!  This is AWESOME!  People tell me they LOVE it when the flight attendants are loving their job and the passengers!  OKAY!  FANTASTIC!
 
Would LOVE to hear about that on my blog!  If you have ANYTHING you'd like to say about your flying experience on SWA I would be very happy to hear about it!
 
What makes us different than those "other guys" in YOUR opinion?  How did my crew and I make it different?

Looking for Passenger and Crew Feedback!

September 11, 2011:  Flew three legs today.   The last flight was Flight 11!  Weird!
 
 The loads were light.  Passengers were a bit "heavy".   I gave it my all to lighten the "air" and shift the energy to a better place.   Wore me out!
 
I have given a lot of business cards out this past month.  Lots of people want us to get this book out.
 
Writing a bit every day!  We hope to have this on the press in time for Christmas 2012!

UPDATE!

Well, this has been an interesting few months since I started the Blog.  I have learned of the deaths of 8 friends since December.  I would believe this to be reasonable if I were 90 years old...but this has been bizarre!
 
My Mom has dimentia and depression.  This has caused some distractions from keeping the blog up.  My apologies to everyone who has checked in and found it not current.
 
It would be wonderful to hear from you!
 
Blessings!

The Flight Attendant Book!

Welcome to our blog!
 
     My retired American Airlines stewardess friend, Bobbie, my two year Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant daughter, Kelli, and myself are coming together to create a long over due book about flying.
 
This book is about humor, heart and history, a perspective from the ailse with three generations of flight attendants.
 
We intend to make you laugh, cry, warm your heart, educate you, and baffle your mind!  None of us have to be creative, we just have to have good memories and take good notes.

You KNOW You are a Flight Attendant when...

Subject:You Know You're a Flight Attendant If....
 
 
 
1. You can eat a four course meal standing at the kitchen counter or over a
    garbage can!
2.  You search for a button to flush the toilet.
3.  You look for the 'crew line' at the grocery store.
4.  You can pack for a two week trip to Europe in one roll-aboard.
5.  All your pens have different hotel names on them.
6.  You NEVER unpack.
7.  You can recognize pilots by the backs of their heads-but not by 

Invitation to be in our book!

Welcome to our blog!
 
I am excited to create this opportunity for us to chat about our up and coming book about three generations of flight attendants careers.
 
We welcome your input.  We are gathering stories from fellow co-workers and passengers who have had the experience of flying with us.
 
It's going to be a very fun experience and we can't wait to see the book on the stands and in your hands!
 
Lets us hear from you today!
