Around the World in a Bad Mood! Confessions of a Flight Attendant

* Thought you were tired and cranky after your last flight? Try being a flight attendant! A flight attendant often has a healthy sense of humor about her job-she has to! And one of the funniest people flying the friendly skies today is Rene Foss, who has been a flight attendant for 16 years and counting. Set against the backdrop of the fictional airline WAFTI ("We Apologize for This Inconvenience Airlines"), Around the World in a Bad Mood! confronts every aspect of a flight attendant's existence-from the dumb questions the passengers ask ("Is that your natural hair color?" "Has anyone told you that you resemble Monica Lewinsky?" "Where are we?") to the secret language of flight attendants (you'll learn what "I'll be right back" really means). As Rene points out, both the ability to take abuse and to collect trash in confined areas are prime job requirements for a flight attendant. You must also be a top-notch psychiatrist, policeman, banker, waitress, and baby-sitter. This clever and entertaining book-which also provides some real insight and information about the world of air travel-is the perfect read for those long layovers and a great gift for any frequent flyer.Foss, Rene is the author of 'Around the World in a Bad Mood! Confessions of a Flight Attendant', published 2002 under ISBN 9780786890118 and ISBN 0786890118.
