Summary: Cry Me a River, Ms. Foss... Cry Me a River.
Review: What an awful piece of literature, if it even qualifies as that.

For starters, Foss works at Northwest Airlines. Search "Rene Foss" on Amazon (I just did to find this listing) and you come across an except from someone else's book, and coincidentally, she quotes Foss and tells us that she works for Northwest Airlines.

I was completely disgusted with the book. She spends the entire time telling us why she hates her job. I can't remember one positive thing being said in that entire book. Everything was a complaint. "I hate this..." or "I can't stand this..." The book also features her poorly written songs from her failed show, "Around the World in a Bad Mood," like Safety Demo Shuffle. Strangely enough, I read this song aloud while listening to Funky Cole Medina, by Tone Loc, and it sounded quite the same.

Foss spends more time trying to promote herself as an actress and complaining then actually telling a story. And from her subpar writing, one can only assume that her acting is even worse.

If you want a humourous book about the life of flight attendants, read "Plane Insanity" by Elliot Hester. The quality of writing is outstanding and the stories are much funnier.

Overall thoughts: Waste of time, boring, Foss is clearly pretentious and exudes a "holier than thou" tone through subpar writing.

Summary: It's True: They Really Do Hate You
Review: You're hungry on 12 hour flight? What's the matter with you, why didn't you pack a picnic hamper. It's transportation, not a RESTAURANT!! You're dehydrated from the very dry recirculated air and you try to get an entire can of soda instead of a little four ounce cup, why are you so greedy? You don't get the can and later go down the galley (to save putting on a call light and summoning a flight attendant, which makes her feel like servant, and according to this books some FA's just ignore call lights anyway), how dare you take up aisle room or bother the flight attendants!! Flight attendants fly for the free travel and they hate your guts. Bow low before them.
