Today I'm welcoming fellow Muse author Ginger Simpson as my guest, giving us information about her new story, A Wing and a Prayer.
Respect your Flight Attendant
Are you aware of the vast amount of training that flight attendants go through in order to qualify for their jobs? While you may consider they are only there to take your drink order, fetch you a blanket or pass out peanuts, the men and women who serve in this capacity play a vital role in the safety of those onboard.
While you might consider they only stroll the aisles to pick up trash, assure seatbacks are in their upright position and trays stowed and locked, actually they are required to conduct a cabin check every twenty-thirty minutes. They’re looking for anything out of the norm that might put you in jeopardy. Besides, babysitting passengers, they also do regular checks of the cockpit to assure that the pilot is alive and well. Think they are taking bathroom breaks too often? Not so, they’re checking to make sure the smoke detectors haven’t been tampered with.
Attendants are trained for all sorts of emergencies, from small injuries, anxiety attacks, and even on-board births. They are well instructed on how to prepare passengers in the case of water landings and how to utilize the emergency slides. Since 9/11, most have also received basic instructions on defense in the case of terrorist attacks or high-jacking. Next time you fly, you might want to consider that Allstate isn’t the only place where you’re in good hands.

First Impressions aren’t always what they seem. Just ask Callie Corwin.
On a 747, Callie Corwin, buckles up for her first day as a flight attendant. The full jet carries two passengers who stand out from the others, but for totally different reasons. The handsome cowboy promises to be a pleasant distraction from her performance anxiety, but the dark-skinned gentleman a few rows back sends her up her hackles. She’s been trained on how to recognize a terrorist, and he fits the very description. Will she see jolly old England or the bottom of the sea?
