A roller coaster experience Jun 14, 2009
I have never worked in the Airline industry and I haven't really flown all that much either. Reading this book made me realize what a hard job it is to be a Flight Attendant. Parts of the book made me laugh, scared me, and made me cry. Any book that can bring out that many emotions is a good read.
An Amazing Book by an Amazing Woman! Dec 12, 2008
Little did I know when I first met Jean, Jose and the crew of AA1291 on 11/20/00 what that day would bring us. That horrible day we will never forget. I learned a bit of Jean's history then but it is so amazing to read it all in this amazing book. Thank you Jean for writing it & sharing your career with us. For me it was very healing and inspiring. Even for "non-airline" people this book is a page turner. I can imagine that you have many more stories to tell and thank you again for letting us share part of your amazing career.
Definitely a must read!
Thank you!

From the Heart, touching, encouraging and helpful! Aug 18, 2008
Although, I am an AA JFK International Purser, I never met Jean; however her book touch every single cell of my body from the time she realized she wanted to be a Cabin Crew to the reality of our job! Although, my experiences are differently they are very similar in many instances. I laugh, cry, got a drink, and move on as Jane did. Jane, I hope to meet you some day in person ... and if I did I am sorry I'm really bad with names, as I remember faces. Your book has helped me to deal with a lot of issues specially 9/11, Jose's Death & 587 the fact at that time I was the "MOD On-Call" in those three incidents at HDQ. Thank you for your courage, devotion, power, love and honesty! I'm so happy I read your book and I will be making sure that your thoughts, comments and anecdotes are read by our peers! Sincerely, L. Cardozo, Kew Gardens, NY AA Purser Class 98-31

Great Reading Jul 23, 2008
Thanks for an accurate and moving depiction of the life as a flight attendant. Your experiences were terrorizing, hilarious and touching. Your personality as a warm loving wife, mother and friend was evident in all of your events. Everyone should read this book to understand the dynamics that make a flight attendant. Your sense of humor,strength, intelligence and courage shine throughout the book. It is an honor to be your friend.

Above the Glamour Jul 19, 2008
For anyone wanting a glimpse into the livelihood of a flight attendant, Jean has thoughtfully recaptured her life experiences in a delightful and engaging read. Her stories had me laughing, in tears and relating to a world that is all too familiar with flight attendants in the airline industry. "Above the Glamour" was very entertaining and a pleasure. Jean's personality and wit came right through. Reading her book was as enjoyable as being with Jean herself.
