""Praise for Jumpseat"" ""Jumpseat is a true story romp of a coming-of-age TWA ""air hostess"" who was a witness to the rise and fall of a great airline. This is not just a history lesson in an exciting era of the airline industry. This is a bright and breezy charmer that illustrates the true glamour of the trials and tribulations of the 70's flight attendants."" Mary Soderstrum Aviation Planner ""I had forgotten how fun flying could be until I read Jumpseat. The humor and seriousness mixed into history made each chapter better than the last. Kudos to the author for sharing her story in a most enjoyable way."" Detective Mark Meyer (ret) Overland Park Police
