This was a fun read. The author talks about the requirements, training and stress that comes with being a flight attendant. Along with some juicy stories about pilots, crazy passengers and a behind the scenes look at the aviation industry.

This is a well written story about being a flight attendant. It tells about their training, but mostly about their experiences flying the skies. It is a cute book, and funny at times. It is well worth the read and anyone would enjoy it.

I used to wait tables and this side of the service industry was really interesting to me. I did not know a lot about being a flight and this has some good stories and insight.

Have you ever wanted to go behind the scenes on someone else's job? For some reason I love hearing what other people do and what they love and hate about their job. I am not quite tall enough to be a flight attendant, but I am intrigued by the lifestyle of their job. This book was the perfect read to hear the ins and outs, the positives and the negatives to this unique job.

As a flight attendant Heather Poole has experienced a far share of the crazies - from celebrities to your average person crazy! Her format to the book, going chronologically and even by subject matter was entertaining and easy to follow. She didn't a great job of sharing stories without throwing anyone under the bus, I didn't mind the vague details when it came to names of people, places or the airline carrier. It didn't affect the hilarious stories that she shared.

What can happen 35,000 feet in the air? After reading this book, anything! I would recommend this book to those who travel constantly for a living or those who only travel every so often, each of us can find the humor in the customer service situations that she is thrust into on a daily basis.
