John Carmichael’s path to the skies was anything but ordinary—rising from the tarmac as a Marriott Catering "ramp rat" to earning his wings as a Braniff Flight Attendant. Based out of DFW, John knew how to play his hand wisely. He intentionally bid Reserve, but with a clever strategy in mind: he learned how to navigate the late-call system alongside the scheduling department. Later becoming a supervisor and offered the scheduling department inside insights to helping crews have a better Trip. In those days, the culture was wild enough that you could even call in sick  to your supervisor simply because your IUD wasn't feeling right!

Clock #434: The Nickname Man! We called him Anaconda, Spongehead, and Blackman—but he was also known as one of the most respected Flight Attendants in the fleet. From our days busting Don Moffett to hanging out with the most beautiful women in the sky, we’ve got some incredible stories. Tune in for Herman’s encounter with Dean Martin, and the powerful story of how he survived one of the most horrific accidents in Flight Attendant history.

"In this segment, Clock # 37794 shares a fascinating piece of history: a clever, found poem dedicated to Braniff Flight Attendants striking for a new contract—and apparently, a fresh change of underwear! The interview speaks for itself, capturing the humor and grit of the era. We also look back at one of the very first crews to open the Far East passage, charting new territory across the Pacific for Dallas-based flight attendants. This was an era when we didn't just fly; we branded luxury." "There's no Green in Flying Colors!"

Remember Braniff Flight Attendants are not a memory but a living history of the 20th Century when our Social Media was  Martini's, Cigarettes and great Sex we all had tight bodies!

When Hutch first entered the Braniff family, he was immediately thrown into the deep end of the airline lifestyle. As a newly minted Reserve, his official initiation consisted of being packed into a hotel room with two female flight attendants, a hotel dresser with a full on Liquor kit and a doobie, dressed in polyester pants! 

And that was just day one!

Hutch simply draws in the weird, the wild, and the funny wherever he goes. Who else could find themselves riding on a F/A jump seat in first class, casually discussing the finer points of dressing in drag with Vice President Spiro Agnew?

From his legendary days running with the "Popper Gang" at the flight attendant college to a lifetime of attracting absolute chaos, Hutch's journey is a masterclass in endless fun. Strap in, because when Hutch is around, reality is always stranger—and much funnier—than fiction

The Don Baker Story

For decades, filmmakers, authors, and television networks have tried to capture the legendary "Don Baker Story." Now, that wait is finally over as his incredible journey takes center stage on the Braniff Chronicles.

Step back into the high-flying adventures of the last century with Don, the ultimate "Galley Counselor" for flight attendants, as he shares the wild, untold stories of his early days on the job and at home with his roommate, Chick. This is a backstage pass to an era of aviation like no other—where work and pure fun collided at 30,000 feet.

From the shocking dangers of flight attendants getting knifed to the absurdity of stewardesses hiking trails in high heels, and the sheer terror of deploying in-flight tie-downs just to survive with a co-worker, this collection covers it all.

Tray table up, Carry on Baggage underneath the seat in front of you & Buckle up and join the journey of 2 Wild and Crazy Guys! All fact. No fiction.
