    The State of the Airline Industry with Sara Nelson

    We’re taking a closer look at the current state of the aviation industry. This is our time to talk about the realities, empathize with each other, and discuss what’s really going on in aviation right now. We’re so excited to have labor leader Sara Nelson in the studio with us this week. Sara is the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO and was called “America’s most powerful flight attendant” by The New York Times. She is currently leading over 55,000 aviation first responders in 20 airlines all over the United States. Her relentlessness and willpower make her an icon for all of us. We get into the shutdown of Spirit Airlines and what it means for thousands of workers, the situation involving ICE and flight attendant Enzo Thompson, the continued strain on our Air Traffic Control system, government shutdowns, recent aviation incidents, and the bigger question so many crew members are asking: should we be worried about where the airline industry is headed? Sara also shares her perspective on what flight attendants should be paying attention to, what we can actually do, and why having a strong collective voice matters SO much right now.

    Pride in Aviation: Why LGBTQ+ Representation Matters

    Happy Pride Month, everyone! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Let’s appreciate how far we’ve come as a community—how we’ve earned our place, gained a meaningful representation, and how we can walk freely and fearlessly anytime, anywhere. While there are still stereotypes surrounding the LGBTQ+ community and so much work to be done in breaking those stigmas, we can’t help but be proud of the progress and effort each of us is putting in to make our voices heard and our presence felt. “Why are many flight attendants gay?” We’ve been asked this a lot, and when we really think about it, it’s likely because they feel safer in our industry! In this episode, we’re diving into all things queer in aviation. We’re squashing stereotypes, talking about why true representation matters, and unapologetically, being ourselves (Sorry, not sorry!). Here is what Pride looks like at 35,000 feet! Episode Highlights: [0:00] Welcome to Episode #37!

After years of seeing it all as crew, her perspective has completely changed now that she’s a parent, and it might change yours too. Brittney shares some of her best travel tips for traveling with kids on planes. Plus, we talk about the emotional side of balancing this career with motherhood, the schedule chaos, the guilt, the support systems, and what it actually takes to make this lifestyle work with a kid at home.
