Heather,
Yesterday the flight attendants got terrible news at US Airways. THREE base closures. Mine included. In all these years, I've never commuted. And now, gone early next year: BOS, LGA and LAS. We got the news in the crew room. Some of the senior girls started to tear up. One cried, "I have thirty years, I've never commuted." The base is closing and we didn't even receive any ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Hi my Name is Mark and I've wanted to date flight attendants for years, but like a lot of guys I don't get the chance to chat with them much. When you see one that's friendly and smiles a lot and is nice, those are the ones you want to kidnap and take ...Galley Gossip: How to create a flight attendant Halloween costume

It's that time of year, people! Hopefully you've already figured out what you're going to be for Halloween. It is right around the corner, ya know.
I'm the type of person who usually waits until the last second to pull something together, which is why I almost ...Galley Gossip: The flight attendant was a mess!
Apr 16th, 2009 at 9:00AM: Heather, I am going to assume that you are a well put together flight attendant when I ask this question...Can you honestly say that you have never been embarrassed to walk through the terminal with any of your flying partners? You know the ones. They don't starch their shirts--or worse, they wear "the dress" because they think it doesn't need to be ironed (even on a 4 day). If they wear a jacket, ...Porn industry disgusted by flight attendant side job
Mar 23rd, 2009 at 11:30AM: "Look, we all have standards," an adult entertainer familiar with the full- and part-time work of Ryanair flight attendant Edita Schindlerova told The Independent. "I think it's disgusting that she works for Ryanair. All of us here at Biggus Dickus Productions feel really let down by her. If only she had told us she worked for them, maybe we could have done something to help her. Now, she has ...Ryanair flight attendant moonlights in porn
Mar 22nd, 2009 at 11:00AM: When the crew yells, "Brace!" one Ryanair flight attendant probably looks for the cameras. London tabloid The Sun (NSFW) alleges that flight attendant Edita Schindlerova (hopefully under a shorter name) moonlights in porn – on video and the web. The sexy 22-year-old also makes an appearance in the airline's 2009 calendar. The sultry stewardess wore a bikini and a smear of grease in the ...Plane Answers: Inflight medical emergencies, tips for pilots and fifty years of jet transcons
Jan 26th, 2009 at 10:00AM: Welcome to Gadling's feature, Plane Answers, where our resident airline pilot, Kent Wien, answers your questions about everything from takeoff to touchdown and beyond. Have a question of your own? Ask away! John asks about medical emergencies: What do you do in case of medical emergency during mid flight? If for example, a person has too much anxiety and can't calm themselves down, or has a ...Galley Gossip: Boeing Boeing grounded
Jan 6th, 2009 at 1:30PM: January 4, 2009 was a very sad day on Broadway in New York City. While it is said that all good things must come to an end, does that really have to include the critically acclaimed Broadway show, Boeing Boeing? I mean this was one trip I didn't want to end. Ever! But when the doors finally closed and the lights went to black, I was there (along with a full house) to say Buh-bye to an era of ...Galley Gossip: Where did the service go?
Dec 30th, 2008 at 10:30AM:
Recently I read an interesting article in the New York Times, Up, Up, and Go Away, about an ex flight attendant who worked for TWA in the 1970's when flight attendants were known as stewardesses and stewardesses were as glamorous as movie stars and passengers were treated like royalty and flying was..well...just better - in every way possible! The stewardess featured in the article above wrote ...Interview with a Retro Stewardess
Dec 24th, 2008 at 6:00PM: On my way home to Minneapolis for the holidays, I read this terrific New York Times article by Ann Hood on the good ol' days of flying. "I put on my apron with my name across the top, and I smiled at the people who had saved up their money, put on their Sunday best, and chosen T.W.A. It was not so long ago that flying had that civility, that glamour, when flying through the sky really felt like ...Fake airline commercial: Fantasy in the sky
Air New Zealand Takes In-Flight Service to a New Level
Jul 23rd, 2008 at 12:00PM: These days, airline passengers expect the worst when they embark on a flight. Yes, they will still get a free bag of salted peanuts, but often have to pay $5 for a beverage to wash them down. Not all airlines are toning down the in-flight offerings, however. Air New Zealand is doing just the opposite by introducing a new breed of air service personnel, the airborne concierge. According to Scott ...Flight attendant wins trip into space -- on Rocketplane!
Jul 17th, 2008 at 6:00PM: I thought that Rocketplane was a show on the cartoon network until I read an article this morning reporting that a French Flight Attendant won a trip into sub-orbit with the galactic airline. First, about the flight attendant: Mathilde Epron was working her daily flight schedule when she grabbed a quick Kit Kat snack, tossed the wrapper in the garbage and went on about her normal duties. Suddenly, ...Ryanair Flight Attendants like you've never seen them before
Nov 19th, 2007 at 8:48PM: Hey guys, ever have fantasies involving naughty stewardesses? Here's something to add to your Christmas wish list: The flight attendants of infamous low-cost European airline Ryanair have shed their usual blue uniforms in favour of something skimpier in a new promotional item for the airline -- they're posing in teeny tiny bikinis for a new calendar, which will be sold on Ryanair flights for ...Do You Have What it Takes to be a Flight Attendant?
Jul 18th, 2007 at 9:42PM: When I was growing up, I had high career aspirations -- literally. I wanted nothing more than to be a flight attendant. With my dad being a pilot, flying was always highly exalted around our house and I found that, like him, I was happiest in the air. I don't know why I never considered being a pilot ... something in the child version of myself would rather pour drinks in the air than be at the ...
