http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/Spyder9/ I'm a flight attendant, air hostess, trolley-dolly, and let's not forget my least favorite of all, a waitress in the sky. That's right, I'm the one standing in the aisle, behind the drink cart, wearing flammable polyester. en-us 2008-11-20T18:50:46+00:00 Publishers Marketplace Heather Poole hourly 1 2000-01-01T12:00:00+00:00 http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/images/PM_rssimg.gif http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/ http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/Spyder9/index.html#20081120135031 An interview with AIRBOY - the flight attendant of the month...

Heather Poole 2008-11-20T18:50:31+00:00 http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/Spyder9/index.html#20081113143400 Dear Heather, I love your blog, I always wanted to be a flight attendant but was told by many I'm probably too short so now I'm going for an Air Traffic Controller job. But I do have a question for you. On the past 4 flights I was on I was stuck in the middle seat because no window seats were available and I can't sit in the aisle. But I was stuck in between to large passengers that had to keep the arm rest up because they were to large to fit in the seat with it down. There were open ...

Yes, that's right, I flew corporate on a Gulfstream V. Twice. Jealous? You should be.

Lassie is on my flight and sitting in business class ! For real. She is in one seat and the handler in another. There is also a group of (7) 20 somethings sitting in business class. I think they're in a band. Obnoxious as hell. FA isn't going to have this for long. Heather Poole 2008-11-11T20:24:38+00:00 http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/Spyder9/index.html#20081110120601 I like working in business class. What I like even more are the other flight attendants who enjoy working in business. Call me crazy, but I even like business class passengers. I do! What I find interesting about business class passengers is that the majority of them find it hard to believe that the cabin they prefer to sit in is the cabin that goes the most junior when it comes to company seniority at my airline. Which tells you a little something about business class, or shall I say the ... Heather Poole 2008-11-10T17:06:01+00:00
