The Not-So-Glamorous Life of a Flight Attendant
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 10.14.05 | 12:12 PM ET
A USA Today reporter recently shadowed United Airlines flight attendant Laura Brandle for a day. Today’s story about it shows how the work of flight attendants has changed since 9/11/01—and not in a good way. Says Brandle, who has worked at United for more than three decades: “There’s a lot on flight attendants’ minds today. There have been pay cuts. Our duties are more. We are struggling to hold on to what we’ve worked for so many years to attain. And we are the watchdogs: We must suspect everybody and everything and keep our antennae up.”
