DESCRIPTION:
"Sort of what it was like back then book" according to C. Kennedy. I read this book when it first came out and then again just now. In today's social context some of the situations are almost unbelievable but, as I recall, were what happened then. What hasn't changed is the work load on the flight attendants but it is different now. All the planes then had single aisles and the passengers dressed up. Now all planes are jammed with infrequent fliers who look like they just came in from working in the yard and most aircraft are big dual aisle transports. I miss the way the airlines pampered you and the passengers who looked like they deserved it.. Charles C. Digbhy said These two ladies provide one of the best views of the strange things that happen and the. These two ladies provide one of the best views of the strange things that happen and the even stranger people encountered by airline personnel. You have to have been there to realize there are such happening every day in the lives of airline personnel. The authors do a wonderful job of providing and insight to the life of flight attendants. Well worth the time to read and laugh at the antics on all those envolved.. Such a pleasure to reread a very funny book! I have read this book many years ago and loved it and I wanted to get more laughs and reread it. Thanks for having it in stock.

Remember when flying was glamorous and sexy, even fun? When airline food was gourmet, everyone dressed up for a flight, and stewardesses catered to our every need-at least in our imaginations? This classic memoir by two audaciously outspoken young ladies, who lived and loved the free-spirited stewardess life, jets you back to those golden days of air travel-from the captain who's as subtle as a 747 when he's on the make to the passenger who mistakes the overhead luggage rack for an upper berth; from the names of celebrities who were a pleasure to serve (and some surprising notables on the "bad guy" list) to the origins of some naughty stereotypes-Spaniards are the best lovers, actors the most foul-mouthed. This huge bestseller, a First Class jet-age journal, offers a hilarious gold mine of outrageous anecdotes from the high-flying and amorous lives of those busty, lusty, adventuresome young women of the swinging '60s known as "stews."
