"Welcome to BOAC," said the cabin crew instructor to his eager new group of would-be stewards and stewardesses. |
"You have just joined one of the most exclusive clubs in the world. You will travel to places and have experiences that money can't buy." |
(No, this is not the Mile High Club! We're talking about the life of an airline steward.)
For Jim Barham, those words proved to be prophetic — and his memorable airline experiences in the 1970s and 1980s were to include an earthquake, a hurricane and a heart-stopping emergency in the air.
Away from the drama, there was a fierce camaraderie among members of the cabin crew, and the author vividly recalls the adventures (often very comic) that they shared together.
All these stories - together with many more, some featuring famous names such as Joan Collins, Alex Higgins and Jack Nicholson, have now been committed to writing in Jim Barham's funny and fascinating new book, "CHICKEN OR BEEF?"
If you have ever worked as a flight steward or stewardess, a pilot or any other member of a flight crew; if you have ever known anybody who has been a flight attendant or other air crew; if you are a plane-enthusiast (remember BOAC and BEA? VC10s? Boeing 707s and 747s? Lockheed Tristars?); or even if (especially if!) you have ever flown as a passenger - this book of airline humour, stories and adventures from around the world will have you chuckling and nodding in recognition.
