Betty In The Sky With A Suitcase!

Episode 65 Now, I know the subject of racial profiling is controversial.  Some people think we should never do it, others think we are crazy not to profile.  At the end of the episode we have a whole segment on the subject.  And since profiling deals with racial differences the rest of the episode is full of funny racial misunderstandings and mistakes people make on the PA about certain groups of people.

Episode 64 I just got back from Bonaire so we have a misbehaving donkey story, lots of celebrities on the airplane and one fast moving Italian.  Since we are talking about famous folks, Arthur Frommer actually does the lead in...how fun is that? The music from this episode is all local music from Bonaire, I recorded music at the annual Rincon Festival (those islanders really know how to party!) and also from a local restaurant called Donna and Giorgios.

Episode 61 After a certain age your "firsts" start to dwindle.  This episode is chock full of firsts, a instructor and student pilot first, my first tsunami delay, a passenger grabbing a flight attendant around the neck and a pilot's creative use of the crash axe for a dirty job!

Episode 56 Do you guys remember the TV Show from the 80's called McGyver?  It was about a guy that could make anything out of the most obscure items.  Well on the airplane sometimes we have to solve a problem with the limited items we have onboard.  We have to pull a McGyver! So this show features some McGyver stories along with two ejection stories.  Because sometimes a McGyver story is impressive but there is nothing as amazing as ejecting out of an airplane and surviving!

Episode 55 I am very late in posting this podcast.  Many people have e-mailed me to see if I am okay.  Well I am more than okay.  I met a man on my trip to Belize and I have been traveling back and forth to Belize to see him?! So it seems fitting to have this episode feature stories about Love.  Love in the Air to be exact, along with some war stories, mainly stories of soldiers home on leave from the war.

Episode 53 Nobody likes a poser!  This show is all about posing.  We hear about posers and placedroppers.  And there is a few stories of Flight Crew "posing" as passengers as they commute to and from work. And at the end of the episode I tell a story about the silly yoga pose I try to get people to try when I'm traveling?!

Episode 52 This episode highlights some airline phenomenon like the "plane knocking" or "plane kissing"  people do as they enter the aircraft.  Along with some other strange phenomenon like why actors are so afraid to fly or why most people are soooooo interested in the mile high club? But mostly this episode is dedicated to the phenomenal story of the amazing USAir ditching in the Hudson river!

Episode 50 In September I went to Egypt and in November I traveled to Ecuador!  I have literally been a traveling fool! This episode is about pilots, flight attendants and tourists being foolish! A guide from the Galapagos talks about the silly questions tourists ask him, and at the end of the episode there is a great story about a foolish passenger that involves a rope, an indian and a blanket!

Episode 49 I've been getting some emails asking why it's taken me so long to post a new podcast....well it's because I was busy wandering around Egypt.  This show has some tales from Egypt along with some really funny airline stories from fellow Flight Attendants and Pilots.

Episode 48 There is a price for everything in life, what you don't pay for in money you can pay for in blood, sweat, puke and tears. I recently had a young man faint and land head first on the galley floor...there was blood everywhere.  I started asking other flight attendants and pilots about their blood, sweat, puke and tears stories and found out there are loads of them.  Lucky for me the stories involve blood, sweat and tears but also alot of laughs!   CONTACT flywithbetty@gmail.com   CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE IN iTUNES!  It's all free!   Music by www.garageband.com  "Blood &Tears" by Jenn London  

Episode 47 One of the things that bugs the Flight Attendants most about passengers is that they travel without a pen.  It's basically just being unprepared. I was unprepared this month because my digital recorder broke!  So I wasn't traveling without a pen I was traveling without a recorder...which is just as bad if you happen to have a podcast. So I wasn't sure I could manage to put together a new episode this month but I used backlog audio to revisit some old topics with new stories. In this  episode we have dingbat stories, lost in translation stories, some drama in the air stories and at the end of the episode there is one stew-pendous story!

Episode 46 Remember the days when Stewardesses were dressed in fabulous uniforms and people dressed up for the event of going on an airplane? I miss the Stewardess title along with the inflight meals and printed timetables.  Basically I miss the good old days. I personally still like to be called a Stewardess...or even a... Stew.  This show features funny stories where Passengers, Flight Attendants and Pilots all act slightly stew-pid and at the end of the episode there is a truely stew-pendous story!

Episode 45 A Priest, a Archaeologist and a Appalachian go into a bar....it sounds like a joke doesn't it?  Well its actually the people I have  managed to offend the most while doing this podcast. I really try not to offend people but sometimes funny stories are offensive to "someone." This episode is full of stories about bodily funtions on the airplane.  Some of the anecdotes are slighty offensive so I apologize in advance especially to any Priests, Archaeologists or Appalachians!
