Another detailed a flight attendant’s experiences pampering such stars as Michael Jackson and Robert De Niro on MGM Grand Air.Ĭoming in March is Around the World in a Bad Mood: Confessions of a Flight Attendant, by Rene Foss, based on her musical revue of the same name. There have been other books written by flight attendants. “The stereotype of the single, bubble-headed flight attendant has stayed with travelers for years.” “I read it again before I wrote the book,” says Hester. The book also goes a long way toward dispelling the myths of wanton “stewardesses” that began with Coffee Tea or Me: The Uninhibited Memoirs of Two Airline Stewardesses, co-authored by Trudy Baker and Rachel Jones in 1967. “If it all happened in a month, I’d probably go crazy.” “These are 16 years of stories,” says Hester, 43. Plane Insanity documents the worst of those ways in a tone that’s both honest and intelligent. People act out their fears in a variety of ways.” “The psychology of flying on an airplane is such that people are off balance,” Hester says from the comfort of a chaise lounge in his South Beach apartment. Passengers who wished to use the lavs for conventional purposes simply had to wait.” Rumor had it that on one exceptionally rambunctious flight, a group of hookers worked the coach-class lavatories. Boom boxes, while not uncommon, had the uncommon habit of blasting music loud enough for everyone to hear. And because the long-haul flight was to and from Osaka, there is some innate courtesy in the Japanese and I didn't see/hear anyone behaving too badly.“At any time during the flight you might witness a card game with serious money involved,” he writes. Amtrak with wings." *Giggle* so so true, though I was pleasantly surprised by AirCanada. As victims rest in peace, why can't we learn to live in it? So so true.-".air travel in its purest main-cabin form, is little more than public transportation. Plane Insanity was written, edited and sent to press prior to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. It was passed on to me by another traveller this morning at JFK and it was one of those times I *really* wish I had pre-numbered labels as this could have been the perfect non-security area release-ie on to another passenger or in the plane's book rack-yes, Air Canada has them!Some bits I liked:-OK, I'm odd and I read the dedications and title pages and what not-this really struck me so I'm glad I did.
