Cruising Attitude

Real-life flight attendant Heather Poole has written a charming and funny insider's account of life and work in the not-always-friendly skies. Cruising Attitude is a Coffee, Tea, or Me? for the 21st century, as the author parlays her fifteen years of flight experience into a delightful account of crazy airline passengers and crew drama, of overcrowded crashpads in "Crew Gardens" Queens and finding love at 35,000 feet. The popular author of "Galley Gossip," a weekly column for AOL's award-winning travel website Gadling.com, Poole not only shares great stories, but also explains the ins and outs of flying, as seen from the flight attendant's jump seat.

Heather Poole has been published in The Best Womens Travel Writing 2010. Her regular online column, Galley Gossip: Confessions from the Jumpseat with Heather Poole, has received more than two million views and is featured on AOLs award-winning travel website, Gadling.com.
