Ellen Simonetti caused a stir in 2004 with her blog “Queen of the Sky” which candidly detailed her life, work and frustrations at Delta Airlines where she worked as a Flight Attendant. With such candid posts as “Where Is The Glamour?”, Elena wrote about the tribulations of work and even went as far as posting photos of herself wearing the Delta Air Lines flight attendant uniform on her widely popular blog, an action that got her fired and caused a furore in the industry. It ignited a debate on the limits of free speech.
This Diary of a Dysfunctional Flight Attendant: The Queen of Sky Blog
is written in a very unique format, in the blog format. Or to use a modern coinage, it’s a blook. In a way, you can call it a Web2.0 book and it details the first eleven chapters of Ellen Simonetti’s blog although some facts have been slightly altered but it makes for a very interested reading, particularly for those young women aspiring to be flight attendants.
Ellen Simonetti began the blog initially as a “form of therapy” after, sadly, having lost her mother to Cancer. The blog became her confidante, where she discussed a lot to do with her life and daily work as a Flight Attendant at Delta Airlines. Her job however came to an end when she grew too confident and posted photos on her blog the Delta Airlines considered “inappropriate”. You can read her blog The Queen of the Sky, but the posts for 2004 have all been blocked so the only way to get an inkling of what was shared is via her book.
The Diary of a Dysfunctional Flight Attendant: The Queen of Sky Blog
is available on Amazon and you can buy and read the interesting tale of Delta Air Lines former Flight Attendant and now a “fired” blogger.
