Content

We decided to add this book because many of us will get to our destinations via flying and it touches down at various points.
In the spirit of books like “Waiter Rant” and “Kitchen Confidential”, blogger and flight attendant Heather Poole gives the inside scoop on how to be the most hated passenger on the plane, whether passionate affairs with pilots are really as frequent as you’d think, what it’s like flying in a post-9/11 world, and everything else passengers never knew. Readers will learn what it’s like to live in a flight attendant crashpad in Crew Gardens, Queens, where the bedrooms are crammed with bunkbeds and the neighbors get the wrong idea about why attractive women are coming and going at all hours. They’ll find out why it’s a bad idea to fall for pilots, and – in Heather’s case, at least-why it can be a good idea to fall for business class passengers. They’ll watch passengers and coworkers alike get escorted off the planes by police, and learn insider secrets on starting salaries, FA schedules, celebrity misbehavior, and much more. Packed with sometimes unbelievable and always hilarious stories, “Cruising Attitude” intermingles the best of galley gossip with Heather’s own experiences of life in the sky.

Lead Review

Amsuingly written, gob smacking in parts, this shows the behind the scenes life of a cabin attendant. It would be great to actually read on a flight and should be required reading for fliers...
