Mike Is Speaking

Being a flight attendant is not all about handing out peanuts and making sure people have their tray tables up. Not even close. Every day at work, Mike takes on much of the responsibility for the safety of the passengers on the flights that he is working on. And most people do not recognize how much responsibility that actually is when they are demanding a better seat or fighting about wearing a mask on board.

In 2013, Mike was the only straight man in the room during his training courses. And while things are changing, they aren’t changing quickly. This conversation was so so good, you do not want to miss it. Mike is funny, open, and thoughtful. And if you are anything like Shailushi and Kosha, you will come away from the discussion not only understanding a bit more about the industry, but also hoping Mike is your lead flight attendant on your next flight. You might also question some of your own ingrained asumptions and ideas of gender and how or why we see certain professions as "for men" or "for women".

What happens you are in a professional that assumes something about your personality and your sexuality without you saying a word about either? Listen to Mike to find out. He was a joy to speak to and with.
