Becoming a Stewardess

One Sunday morning, Mr. Grey was looking up from his newspaper. “Would you like to see Texas and work as a Stewardess?” he asked me. There was an ad that says an airline in Texas was hiring new girls for their airline. He suggested I send a letter and see what happens, and I did. I received an answer and was invited to fly to Texas for an interview. I felt I wasn’t ready for such a leap, so I didn’t pursue this opportunity. I was only twenty-three at that time and I needed time to evaluate my future. A few months later, out of the blue, Mr. Grey said, “I am going to buy a DC-3 plane for the company. It’s being refurbished. It is a small plane used during the war. It could carry thirty-six soldiers. Now it is being redone to carry sixteen company executives. I am in the process of hiring a captain and a co-pilot. I also will need a stewardess. Would you like to do that?” I had to sit down and process what he was saying. “If you want to do it, the job is yours,” he added. I was stunned. - See more at: http://annerosv.com/becoming-a-stewardess/#sthash.FCYuTejd.dpuf
