IS THE PRESSURE OF OVERBOOKED FLIGHTS, FREQUENT FLIGHT DELAYS AND ALL THE REST OF OUR AIRLINE HORROR GETTING TO THE CABIN CREWS?

I read TWO alarming stories in one day.  In one, a flight attendant is caught with a loaded gun in her purse as she's going through security.  In another, police catch a flight attendant who stole an iPad from a passenger.

If you do any flying, these days, you must read the book I'm reading right now.  ATTENTION ALL FLIERS is by William J. McGee who comes from an Airline family and worked, himself, as an FAA licensed aircraft dispatcher before becoming a writer and advocate for air travelers.

You'll be alarmed at some of the things going on in the airline industry that you're probably not aware of, such as the widespread use of foreign labor, in foreign countries, for maintenance of U.S. airlines aircraft.  Another result of the de-regulation of the airlines which was one of the most damaging things to ever happen to the American airline industry.
