Plane Insanity

Author: Elliott Hester
Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar


I've always felt sorry for flight attendants. They're stuck with people often at their worst, frequently are obligated by their job to give them alcohol, and can't leave the teensy area they're cramped in the whole time. Mr. Hester is one such attendant, getting into the field more or less on a lark and staying with it despite a near endless parade of dumb humanity. Constant insults to his manhood, people throwing things at him and his colleagues (ranging from drinks to fully loaded diapers), the omni present mile high club - sometimes with membership meetings in full view of other passengers, vomit a plenty, the time someone stole $500k worth of bonds off of one of his flights, the guy who smuggled his python in his carry on, and of course the shore leave stories of his fellow attendants once they're able to get away from all that nonsense.
