Product Description
Take a look at life from behind the beverage cart.
“They asked me to be groomed, be kind, and show up on time; it was too much pressure.â€
“It was like being a waitress, only I was hurtling through space and wound up in Paris.â€
“I thought it would be funny to climb into the overhead bin. How did I know the President of the United States would be on the flight that day?â€
Where flight attendant Marsha Marks goes, funny things happen, and she tells them all in this hilarious and insightful chronicle of her career as a naive flight attendant and a struggling author. From missed flights to missing uniforms, miracle babies to indecipherable southern accents, Flying by the Seat of My Pants is a laugh-out-loud reminder of what is important and what keeps us steady through the turbulence of life.

• I Am Not Alone 15 October, 2007
I am a cabin crew member myself. I was reading this book while I was passengering (dead heading)and I was laughing so much I had to put it down before the passengers wondered what was going on. It's a great description of the way our life is. Well written and events were well documented. GET THIS BOOK.

• This Is A Blog Not A Book 05 August, 2006
This amazingly thin book is low on content and quality.
I'm sure there are blogs out there that make much better reading.
Very empty, very bland. I'm amazed that you can actually have a career as a flight attendant and have so FEW experiences to relate! Oh, I hid in the luggage bin! Oh, I forgot my uniform and had to wear one 10 sizes too small! Oh, I spilled orange juice on a passenger!
Come on!
I bought it due to the 20 positive customer reviews.
Could it be a case of the author reviewing her own book, under different names? I believe it must be.... Or her friends and family...
Amazon customer reviews are usually pretty reliable, but once in a while you come across a case like this where the reviews are totally skewed and disconnected from reality.
Save your money!!!!
Don't buy it!!!

• Far From "hilarious" 07 July, 2008
I hate to criticize this collection of the author's experiences as a flight attendant because she seems like a genuinely nice woman, but seriously, this book is not that well written and is far from "hilarious" like most of the reviews state. An easy read? Sure, mostly because it's short. You can read it in one sitting, with little satisfaction other than having read a book in one sitting. There may be a few chuckles, but otherwise you'll find yourself saying "so what". I can tell more entertaining tales from my experiences as a passenger. "Laugh out loud" and "hilarious" do not describe this book at all. I have to agree that the other reviews must have been written by the author and her friends and family.
