Flying Used to Be Elegant: Sky Life & Retirement
Manage episode 469514586 series 3650325
A chance encounter with a flight attendant and her mother transforms an ordinary rideshare into a fascinating exploration of modern air travel. What begins as casual conversation quickly evolves into an eye-opening look at how flying has changed from "this grand, elegant experience" to something far more complicated.
Our flight attendant passenger candidly shares the realities behind the seemingly glamorous profession. While there are undeniable perks—"I realized that walking around Denver for 24 hours is my job"—she doesn't shy away from the challenges of dealing with increasingly difficult passenger behavior.
Her story about watching someone place their sock-covered foot on a stranger's armrest rather than waking a sleeping passenger perfectly captures the bizarre situations flight crews regularly navigate.
