Cabin Pressure

Summary: Guaranteed to make even the grouchiest air traveler laugh.
Review: A cult classic favorite with airline industry personnel. I read the book in two days and consider it a permanent addition to my library. I can relate to most of their flying experiences as I was a flight attendant also. If you want to learn about a so called "glamourous life", forget about reading typical flight attendant job descriptions, find this book, (which is unfortunately out of print.) They tell it like it really is. I am hoping the authors, Spiro and Harwell will write a sequel with more anecdotes of bizarre passengers,interesting airline food and arrogant pilots. If you are having a bad day, read a few pages and you'll forget about your problems.

Summary: Cabin Pressure Never Gets off the Ground
Review: Cabin Pressure is one of those "insiders" books that tells you virtually nothing that an economy class passenger couldn't observe from a middle seat. The oh-so-cute anecdotes are predictable, boring and too precious for words. The writing style is elementary at best. The basic structure of the book is cluttered, and highly disorganized making it difficult to follow. The stories seem to be held together by second-rate cartoons that might have been cutting edge in the swingin' sixties, but seem dusty and embarrassingly unfunny in today's context. I was looking for a rip-roaring good read. I wanted to be either informed or entertained. This book did neither. I wanted to like it, I really did. But it is Dull with a capital DUH.

Review: Having worked for an airline based in Manchester, England, I flew many times to the States. I picked up Cabin Pressure on one of my trips to Orlando, Florida. I have to say that it is one of the most hilarious books I have ever read. I could identify with many of the problems the girls faced and I really hope that the book will be available soon. I need another copy badly!

Summary: Very funny and oh so true book!
Review: I became a flight attendant in 1990 and bought this book after tons of recommendations by fellow F/A's. It was very funny to me because after flying for awhile you see the reality of this very "glamorous" job. Had I read it before I got hired, I probably would have labled it Fiction. Hey fellow attendants, remember the summer of LOW fares (Greyhound flights!)? I think it was 1992, those few months would make a hilarious book! - The things we saw.....

Summary: It's All True!
Review: I first read this book when our daughter, Tamara, started flying for Pan Am years ago--loved it. I eventually became a flight attendant and then realized all flight attendants could write a similar book. Passengers ARE a never ending supply of material--bless their darlin' little hearts. Elizabeth and Corylee: PLEASE, PLEASE publish this fabulous book again! And while that project is in process, write us another one!! Thanks!

Summary: FUNNY! Amazing, some of the things that people actually do!
Review: I got this book years ago and read it on a trip to Vegas. I was laughing so hard! Years later I ended up working as a Reservations Agent at an airline -- the stories that I thought couldn't be possible in the book I found out first hand are TRUE! Some people check their brains in with the luggage it seems! I've been wishing for a sequel since I read the book.

Review: I read this book years ago and really enjoyed it. I have flown for three different airlines, since retired and would love to re-read this book. I lent it out and never got it back. Please re-publish this book.
