  • Flight Attendants Locked Up - Penny's Bay Part One

    The covid pandemic dramatically changed the aviation industry. Seemingly overnight, planes were grounded, cabin crew were put on furlough and the world was shut down. Over time, some planes were able to fly again, frequently with no passengers, just cargo, and seats full of PPE. Flight attendants and pilots having to do 24 hours shifts or quarantine in hotels.

    Restrictions were severe, and China was one of the strictest. 

    In todays story, which will take place over two parts, we hear the true story about what it was like to fly in those days. And what it was like if an entire crew was suddenly quarantined in a foreign country, with no idea when you would see you family again.

    Not all cabin crew are in their 20's, young, free and single. A lot fo flight attendants have grown up with the airline. Started at 21 and still flying well into their 50's and longer. So today's episode is the true story about an older woman, who has the passion of her younger days reignited on a layover in Shanghai.

  • In Flight Therapy

    When a passenger's world has fallen apart, and she needs a mid flight therapist on the long flight home, the crew step in...

    Flight Attendants are trained for many roles in the air. One role that they're not officially trained for, but are frequently asked to perform, is the role of therapist. because when passengers (and crew) board that plane, they can sometimes be carrying a little extra baggage that needs tending to!
