    Hello Sailor!

    Finding love when you're flying around the world sounds romantic! But it's often not... But as it's Valentine's week we thought we'd share with you the true story of how one ex cabin crew member found her dream man on a Caribbean trip. Because whilst a lot of the love life of a flight attendant is lonely nights in hotels and only meeting sleazy business men sat in First Class, there is sometimes the odd good love story out there. And this one involves a long layover in the Caribbean, and a ship full of Royal Navy boys....  So if you like to escape into a 30 minute beach read style audiobook story about love, and the life of a flight attendant - then this is for you!

    The Crew Room

    Major aviation incidents can floor a crew member. Whether that's an extended stay on your layover, or something as life changing as 9/11. These big events can completely change airline policies and safety regulations, and how flight attendants and pilots work. But some things never change, and that's the cabin crew's ability to make the best of a bad situation, and the call of The Crew Room is usually there to help the crew debrief, let loose and forget the big stuff, even for a short while. In today's episode of The Red Eye, we visit The Crew Room during several different major aviation events. And hear the true story of what really takes the strain on behalf of the crew...

    The Seatbelt Standoff

    Celebrities have to follow the rules like the rest of us, but that doesn't mean that a few of them don't put up a fight! On today's episode, we hear the true story about a celebrity who refused to comply with not just the cabin crew's requests, but the Captain's too! She was determined to prove that she was in charge, and knew aviation safety procedures better than anyone else and it was left to the flight attendants and flight crew to come up with a creative way to get her to sit down, and shut up!

    The Determined Traveller

    Would you board a plane knowing you might have a medical emergency on board? Can you imagine being in a situation where you'd risk your own life, or that of your baby, just to make a journey you didn't really need to make? And what about the flight attendants who have to deal with the emotional toll of dealing with medical emergencies? Or your fellow passengers who might miss their own connections or major life events because your life is at risk in the air so plane has to divert before reaching it's final destination? On today's episode, we hear the true story of a woman who stretched the truth about how pregnant she was, and nearly gave birth in the air. And how that affects the cabin crew who are expected to become midwives at 38,000ft!

    A Christmas Flight to Remember Revisited

    In today's episode, we're revisiting a short story from last year - because it aired on Christmas Eve last year and didn't get the listens it deserved! This story is about Ally, who was destined to spend Christmas in Johannesburg with her slightly rubbish boyfriend who was also a flight attendant. She decided to try make the best of the situation and arranged for the crew to visit an orphanage to give the children there gifts. But she ended up with a whole new perspective on life. Being cabin crew around Christmas isn't the best. You're often alone in a hotel room whilst your family celebrate without you. So this episode is a reminder that no matter how you celebrate, every day on this planet is a gift - so make the most of every opportunity!
