This whole new media thing, while not all that new to me, is a bit of a gear-shift when you’re going from running a business to sitting on the computer and wading through directories of Twitter users. I was looking for Twitter users that had identified #travel as one of their main areas on interest.

In the process, I found some blogs that I thought were really interesting – the life of the flight attendant.

Another Flight Attendant Writing talks about the day-to-day life of the flight attendant. The author has been writing for a while, so there’s a lot of content there. There are also links to other flight attendant blogs – at least one of which I found on my own… and that is:

The Flying Pinto… A Flight Attendant Blog is another prolific blog that covers a lot of the bases when it comes to the life of a flight attendant.

The third one I found was Traveling with MJ, which is a little more about travel and a little less about being a flight attendant.

I think there are a lot of stereotypes we have about different professions, and perhaps one of the more misunderstood is the job of the flight attendant. The nature of the job – one where we see and interact with them fairly often, but probably don’t really understand the scope and breadth of the job itself – makes blogs like these rather compelling.
