Heather,

You are very welcome. Your blog is informative, witty, and right on time. I wish I could start my own, I'd be there with you. I have never found it to be a "soap box" or a rant or a provocation towards passengers, yet it's obvious that a few people who post here would prefer you not have an opinion on your occupation, or the situations you encounter. I'm not sure where that angst got its energy but it's there.

Perhaps the media has been locked into a long-running, one-sided discussion about air travel that frankly, borders on phony hysteria. It might sell a few papers and magazines but it's not reality. I see 95% of the passengers and crews going with the flow every day in a hectic world, but it's that 5% who bitch and moan, and that's the angle of most airline stories. Isn't it ironic to you, as a writer and a flight attendant, that people have no problem sharing their "airline horror" stories on your blog, but when an intelligent and thoughtful airline employee turns the mirror the other way, he/she needs to "quit the job", as though your observations are irrelevant? Whassup with that??

Keep it real Heather. The universe needs you, and more like you.
