Head in the Clouds

This is a book about my 35 years in the airline industry, from age 19 to 55, and now into retirement.

I started with an airline at age 19 not realizing that I would be there for 35 years and would retire at age 55. It was a very good ride. I worked hard and had fun along the way. I would not trade the career and the experiences that I had. I learned so much and had such fun adventures throughout the years. I describe sometimes humorous things that happened in the office and on and off the airplanes. And the wonderful travel that my husband and I got to do over the years was priceless. I feel very blessed indeed.

In 1969, flight attendants were called stewardesses, air flight was luxurious, getting through security was easy, and employment with the airlines could be a smooth or bumpy adventure. At just nineteen years old, Rebecca Newlin stumbled into the friendly skies and travel industry and went for an adventurous ride for the next 35 years. Newlin recounts her own madcap adventures in her first book, Head in the Clouds.
