Download Flying in the Pool: Adventures of a Pan Am Steward AudioBook Free
This e book documents my life and death encounters as a steward and Purser soaring for Pan North american World Airways through the heyday of ground breaking widebody aircraft including the 747SP, L1011-500, and DC-10-30.... While most companies would call their regress to something easier trip attendants "reserve crew", at Pan Am if you were on reserve, you were "flying in the pool".... While soaring in the pool, one could be sent any place in Pan Am's global system and you might be gone for days, even weeks at the same time. Because of the uncertainties of soaring in the pool, many overlooked anniversaries and birthdays, romantic relationships and marriages dropped apart...unexpected romances and awful tragedies would happen as a result of soaring in the pool...looking back within my log books, images, and company details, it seems for me personally the best travels I ever had and the worst flights I ever had, happened while soaring in Pan Am's pool. At this time I'm half-way through my a decade with Pan Am and also have already experienced two fatalities in trip, two crisis landings, managed to get through a daunting spy mission in to the war torn Middle East, when once again soaring in the pool, I'm designated a week long charter trip. Destinations: Milan, Paris, and Athens. Normally airline crews anticipate charter flights....Celebrity encounters: Raquel Welsh, Bettie Davis, Glenn Ford, Richard Simmons, Joe Cocker, John Candy, and many more. During my a decade flying for Pan Am, I'd have three people expire in my forearms, saved two passengers lives, experienced two crisis landings, had a plane sabotaged leading to a next to crash landing, flew into a hot battle zone on a spy objective, and endured numerous bravo whiskies - bomb warnings. I'd also have several extremely memorable earth spanning whirlwind romances with beautiful Pan Am stewardesses, until it all concluded horribly when my fiancée, a newly hired Pan Am stewardess, was wiped out by terrorists when they blew up Pan Am 103.
