Customer Reviews
Fun, funny, and useful for travelers and travel pros
I love traveling, and I LOVE this behind-the-scenes look at flying from the flight attendant's standpoint. They talk about their pet peeves, how to make your flight attendant happy, and lots of the ins and outs of the airline industry and the flight attendant life. The podcast's hosts are so obviously having fun talking about their careers in the sky that the enjoyment is infectious. Combine that with a steady stream of interesting guests and e-mailed or tweeted questions and comments from other parts of the airline industry, including pilots and travelers, and you've got a winner.
Thanks
You girls and guys bring me back thanks for the time and effort such a great fun job . Nice pod cast done professionally. Gives the passangers a good perspective
Quality Entertainment
I look forward to each week's podcast because I know I'm guarenteed some laughs in addition to some interesting things to think about. The hosts are hilarious yet professional and engaging. The podcasts aren't strictly for crew either- aviation enthusiasts and general travelers will find the topics relative and entertaining. Quality stuff!
