Above The Glamour - Richard Daub - Bog

Composed and dramatic in all the right ways, Above the Glamour by author and veteran flight attendant Jean Keiser found her "road less traveled" in the sky. Her story is intense, funny, and filled with deep wells of emotion. As a flight attendant with a major airline for over thirty years, she has been hijacked, caught in hotel fires, and lived to tell about a few too many close calls. Consider this a crash course in Murphy's Law and flight attendant school. With chapter titles like "Combustible Hotels" and "Paco Goes Haywire," she offers as much action as she does mayhem. The fact is that flying the friendly skies is a calling that should not be answered by the meek. She speaks of losing friends and coworkers before, on, and after 9/11-relating what can go wrong and what inevitably does. For those born to fly and for those whose feet are firmly planted on the ground, Jean's resounding message shares the grit and joy of following one's passion and living above the glamour.
