Synopsis: Donna Jensen was raised literally and figuratively on the wrong side of the trailer park in Silver Springs, Nevada. She always believed it was her destiny to get out of Silver Springs. After reading Sally Weston's book, Sally who is arguably the most famous now ex-flight attendant in the world, Donna believes the path to leaving Silver Springs is to become a flight attendant despite never having been on an airplane. After an initial bumpy start to this career, Donna shows a natural flair for the job, so much so that she applies to work for world class Royal Airlines, where Sally Weston mentors. After meeting Donna, Sally believes Donna is destined for flight attendant greatness, namely working first class in the New York-Paris flights. Donna believes in herself as a flight attendant, but has to overcome some obstacles, including flight attendant trainer John Witney, who has some hidden anger issues, and her friend Christine Montgomery who also wants to be a great flight attendant despi

What are you gonna do

with those?

Turn, please.

[ Whistles ]

Okay.

You new around here?

Yeah.

I work with Sherry

down at Sierra.

Oh.

Uh-huh.

Okay. All set.

Thank you.

It was the least I can do.

Being that you're new

around here, I have to tell you

that it is my official duty

to give all newcomers

a special guided tour

on my boat.

-Oops.

-Oops. There you go.

Hey.

You mind if I come with?

Okay, sure. Yeah.

Suddenly

you're in this fight alone

[ Engine roaring ]

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

And the night's

the hardest time

When the doubts

run through your mind

'Cause suddenly

you find yourself

[ Engine shuts off ]

Beautiful, huh?

Thank you.

It really is.

Ted, would you oil my back?

Okay. Yeah.

-Thank you.

-Sure.

So, how'd you become

an officer of the law?

Oh, I'm not.

I'm a student.

A law student.

Or I was.

At Ohio State.

My family's from Cleveland.

Was?

Yeah, I quit my final semester.

And then I went bumming around

for a few months.

And now I'm here for a while.

Yeah, I quit high school.

Would you do

my shoulders for me?

Why'd you quit?

-Well, I was...

-I don't...

Everything was on track.

I was on my way to being

a big-shot attorney.

I had a hot law firm

all lined up.

And then I thought,

"What am I doing?

Is this what I want?"

My whole life was over

before it had begun.

I wanted to travel.

I wanted to see the world.

Eat, drink, enjoy myself.

And then I had this crazy idea

that I would look for the thing

that would make me most happy.

Would you mind

if I saw you next weekend?

-No, I swear, they do!

-[ Women giggling ]

Can you believe

we had to refuel here?

I mean, where are we?

Bedrock?

-What was the bathroom like?

-Awful.

-I love that lipstick.

-Chanel.

Remind me. As soon

as we get to New York...

I have to go straight

to Vuitton.

-Are those new earrings?

-The guy in Rome.

The guy in London.

Thank God we're out of here.

I think I need to take

a flea dip.

[ Laughter ]

We better go.

Don't forget you wanted to go

to the gift shop

and get a Toblerone.

Right.

You know what?

What?

We are as good as they are.

-We are?

-We are?

We don't have to spend our lives

working at Sierra

for some weaselly ex-bookie.

You know,

I once worked for Pan Am.

Three whole months.

Uniforms were natural fiber.

What happened?

They went bust.

So you started working

for Sierra?

I needed a job.

Nobody else was hiring.

Well, they're hiring now.

Royalty Airlines job fair.

This weekend at the

Marriot Hotel in San Francisco.

You guys,

this could be so good.

Who's in?

Oh, oh

Livin' on a prayer

Take my hand

We can make it, I swear

Oh, oh

Livin' on a prayer
