    A Final Flight

    Passengers board a plane for many reasons. A single plane can hold honeymooners, stag and hen dos, families, dream vacationers, people moving to a different country, pilgrims, and business travellers. People also fly for sad reasons, visiting a sick loved one, a death in the family or leaving a broken relationship. It's one of the reasons I used to ask my cabin crew to chat a little with their passengers during service - to see if anyone needed a little extra attention, help celebrate or provide comfort. The person who donated this story told us that this passenger that boarded their flight was a firm favourite with all the crew. He was kind, full of fun and flying back to visit the island he was born on 94 years ago. He touched the lives of all the crew that day for many reasons.

    The Unofficial Upgrade

    Cabin Crew are not always saints, sometimes they do things they shouldn't do, and there's even been times when they've broken the law! This story is one of those times. A true story where a crew member thought she was getting away with a crime but ended up having to face some serious consequences, along with all the other crew on that flight. Guilty or not!

    The Long Ride Home

    When the tragedy of 9/11 occured, airline crews were displaced all over the world. In the USA, anyone who was travelling on a standby or companion ticket was told they wouldn't be flying home any time soon! The aviation industry came to a standstill. When a Captain finds out his mother and sister are stuck in Vegas and he can't get them home on the jumpseat of his aircraft, he finds the only way he can to get them back to the UK. But it involves a very long ride on the Greyhound across the United States. Listen to the true story, told in audiobook form on The Red Eye. Send us a text!

    September Blog - A Humiliating Landing Day Disaster

    Landing Days are sketchy for Cabin Crew. There's a good chance you'll pull into the motorway services for a 20 minute power nap and wake up 8 hours later with a security guard banging on your window checking you're still alive. You feel like death warmed up, shouldn't make important decisions and most definitely shouldn't attempt anything vaguely complicated. Like reversing a car. Poor Susan spills the beans of her humiliating mistake in public on landing day. Based on a true story. Totally not our writer's story. She wouldn't do anything like that. No, it was someone else. Honest guv. If you like free audiobooks, based on true stories in the aviation industry, then check out the latest episode of The Red Eye podcast. Send us a text!

    A Golden Shower

    We're back to passenger's behaving badly today!

Here today's story and take a wild guess what this naughty passenger did, in the latest episode of The Red Eye. Where you can hear the true stories of flight attendants, pilots and their passengers, wrapped up nicely in a fictional style free audiobook.

    Fight or Flight

    A violent hijacking by a crew member causes the pilots to fight back for their lives. In 1994, a disgruntled employee called Auburn Calloway was facing disciplinary action for lying about his flying hours. He decided to take matters into his own hands and give his children the Fed Ex life insurance money by attempting the unthinkable. He hid weapons in his carry on baggage, had unrestricted access to the cockpit and tried to murder all three flight crew after take off. His plan was to crash the aircraft and make it all look like an accident. The courageous crew fought back, attempting extreme aerial maneuvers, including almost rolling the DC-10 plane upside down at 140 degrees, and performing dives to disarm and subdue Calloway. Captain David G. Sanders, First Officer James M. Tucker Jr and Flight Engineer Andrew H. Peterson were true heroes. Fighting to the end despite their horrific injuries that cost them their careers. Hear their story, told as a short audio story on The Red Eye podcast. Where true aviation events are told in a fictional style. Because sometimes, the unbelievable needs to be told in a way we can believe!

    The Layover Lie

    Would you ever lie to give yourself more time in a destination? In the aviation world, we've had plenty of crew who will go sick downroute so they don't have to work home - they get the name One Sector Sally (a cabin crew member who gets the reputation of only working one sector). I guess a flight attendant might do that for myriad reasons. They hate their job, they have stuff going on at home, or maybe they meet the most amazing guy at their destination and don't want that magic to end? That's exactly what happened to the donor of our latest story. She met an incredible man in Cape Town, and had to make a choice about leaving him or leaving her crew a man down! Listen to this true story, told in the style of a fabulous beach read audiobook, on The Red Eye podcast. Where you hear the true stories of the crazy lives of cabin crew.
