Acerca de esta escucha
Escape current events for the moment to a time when life was just a little bit easier, a little bit more explorative, and a little bit more fun and romantic.
This audiobook tells a true story exploring the adventurous journey of a young, carefree Pan Am flight attendant who experienced world travel that only a few could ever imagine. The good, the bad, and the ugly truth about what it was like working for one of the largest airlines in the world, Pan Am World Airways, the pioneer of transatlantic flight.
Pan Am After the Glamour Fades: Memoirs of a Flight Attendant 1989-1991 is like no other Pan Am book you may have listened to in the past. Exposing secrets of an otherwise glamorous career on the surface, she escorts us into the obscure annals of humanity through the lens of a young female flight attendant.
The story is set in the late '80s era, when Pan Am had already reached the pinnacle of its lifespan and success and begun its downward spiral into financial ruin. While the rest of the world was embracing the dawn of the digital era and massive wealth accumulation through internet speculation, change was inevitable for Pan Am and its employees. Experience an insider view of the ups and downs of flying as a cabin crew member of the most sought-after airline in the world.
Christine’s story is written in a first-person account, so you will laugh and probably be moved to tears as she compels you to feel as if you’re right there with her, experiencing events as they were happening. Some stories will even surprise and disturb you.
You will find yourself taking a trip to exotic places that most people could only dream of traveling, and meeting world-renowned celebrity personalities who were an inspiration to Americans of the '70s and '80s. At times, she will go deeper than the surface to share her very personal and intimate experiences never before shared with anyone, not even her own family and friends.
All of the names of characters in this audiobook have been changed to respect the privacy of all persons mentioned in Christine’s memoir. However, events, situations, and locations are all truthful but uninhibited.

Historia
In 1978, in the tailwind of the golden age of air travel, flight attendants were the epitome of glamor and sophistication. Fresh out of college and hungry to experience the world―and maybe, one day, write about it―Ann Hood joined their ranks. After a grueling job search, Hood survived TWA’s rigorous Breech Training Academy and learned to evacuate seven kinds of aircraft, deliver a baby, mix proper cocktails, administer oxygen, and stay calm no matter what the situation.

Historia
Glamour, danger, liberation: in a Mad Men–era of commercial flight, Pan Am World Airways attracted the kind of young woman who wanted out, and wanted up. Required to have a college education, speak two languages, and possess the political savvy of a Foreign Service officer, a jet-age stewardess serving on iconic Pan Am between 1966 and 1975 also had to be between 5′3" and 5′9", between 105 and 140 pounds, and under 26 years of age at the time of hire.

Originally published by Wm. Morrow, in 1995, Skygods is the saga of America's most glamorous airline - from its meteoric ascent to its plunge to extinction. Pan Am blazed the way across the world's oceans with its magnificent Clipper ships, launched the first international jet service, was the first to fly the behemoth 747, was the lead customer for America's SST and the Concorde, and was even taking reservations for the first commercial flights to the moon.

It was the Golden Age of Travel, and everyone wanted in. As flying boomed in the 1960s, women from across the United States applied for jobs as stewardesses. They were drawn to the promise of glamorous jet-setting, the chance to see the world, and an alternative to traditional occupations like homemaking, nursing, and teaching.

On May 1, 1915, with WWI entering its tenth month, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an English country house sailed out of New York, bound for Liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants. The passengers were surprisingly at ease, even though Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone. For months, German U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic.

This lively history by Robert Gandt traces the development of the great flying boats as both a triumph of technology and a stirring human drama.

"Unvarnished. Funny. Leaving no stone unturned"...So say the publishers about this audiobook I've written. What I say is that this is the story of my life, told as clear as a Texas sky and in the same rhythm that I lived it. It's a story of restlessness and the purity of the moment and living right. Of my childhood in Abbott, Texas, to the Pacific Northwest, from Nashville to Hawaii, and all the way back again. Of selling vacuum cleaners and encyclopedias while hosting radio shows and writing song after song, hoping to strike gold.

Brooke Shields never had what anyone would consider an ordinary life. She was raised by her Newark-tough single mom, Teri, a woman who loved the world of show business and was often a media sensation all by herself. Brooke's iconic modeling career began by chance when she was only 11 months old, and Teri's skills as both Brooke's mother and her manager were formidable. But in private she was troubled and drank heavily.

Me too!
short but packs a big punch. I felt compelled to purchase it. I knew a bit of my story would be in there! I spent 12 years with Pan Am, before "resigning" to pursue a career in education and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation We were a special breed that flew around the world and are alive to tell about it. Oh and Christne we share a birthday albeit 16 years apart. Thanks for sharing all Maria Rinna

A Good History Pan Am History lesson
complimenting many other books written about Pan Am during its glory years of the '60s '70s and part '80s. This honest and candid memoir of the '90s is very true to fact. as a former Pan Am employee. I enjoyed it immensely.

A sad remembrance indeed
I was there at the end of Pan-American yes it was sad and probably uncalled for. As I read the book I was horrified with the interpretation of life with Pan-American. I flew from New York and Denver felt short of money and escaped drunken brawls. This was a bad book
