They sold you palm trees, sunsets and a handsome pilot. What you get is instant soup at four in the morning, carts that weigh half a ton, and stories you won't believe... We tell you the whole thing, with real laughs and, when it counts, goosebumps.
Three books to crack you up and, along the way, show you what the job is really like. Comedy fiction from someone who lived it.
They sold you palm trees and sunsets. What you get is instant soup at four a.m. in a hotel off the ring road. I'll tell you the whole job, without the academy's pretty filter. And even so, I wouldn't trade it for anyone's.
The leap from the rookie who gets in the way with all her heart to the one running the cabin. Hazing, galley hierarchies, colleagues you learn from and others you run from... the climb told exactly as it is, with a sharp tongue and a lot of heart.
Fifteen years married to a man I see less than the passenger in 22F. Two uniforms, two rosters, and a "see you Thursday" that's almost never Thursday. Marriage spoiler: the waiting lounge turned out to be the trip.
One more girl boards a plane and never gets off. In plain sight, in uniform, on schedule, in front of everyone, every passport stamped clean. The things no one can explain, they call accidents... closed, filed, forgotten. But she still dreams of earning her wings, and she sees what no one else wants to see. Something dark runs underneath it all, and she has no idea how far the tentacles reach. The harder she pulls the thread, the higher the silence climbs. For readers of T.J. Newman... and everyone who ever kept smiling while their whole world came apart.
Not a notebook with a cute plane on the cover. It's the tool a real crew member wants in their bag... and the one that makes the new hire want the exact same one.
The undated, bilingual planner built for the impossible roster: duties, time zones, layovers and the expirations that actually keep you up at night.
Gio Em and Ley Brawn are the names we sign these books with. What they tell comes from actually walking a plane's aisle for real, with the impossible rosters, the hotels off the ring road, and those Christmases you celebrate on the 27th because you had to fly on the 25th...
But let's be clear: this is not a solemn manual or a memoir with a bow on top. It's comedy fiction, written to make you laugh, by someone who lived the job from the inside. Only the novel turns serious and pulls the thread of what really unsettles you about flying.
Welcome aboard. And you know the drill... your nearest exit may be behind you.
Books, a novel, and the planner everyone wants. Pick where to start... and make people want to be like you.
