or granny now, so I'll tell you more about that

27
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.159
for my listeners, let me ask you a question. Have

28
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.959
you ever had a chance to meet a stewardess who

29
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:10.680
served in Desert Storm or someone who has met Mother Teresa?

30
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:16.560
You know now they're called flight attendants? Do you remember PanAm?

31
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:18.759
Oh? Yeah?

32
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:23.960
How about Eastern Airlines? I guess that's dating me. Tell me,

33
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.319
can you imagine what it would be like to attend

34
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:33.000
a wedding and a sultan's palace, or imagine being in

35
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:37.919
Moscow during a coup attempt? Now? Would you like some

36
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.159
Desert storm stories?

37
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:42.000
Now?

38
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.599
Would you like to hear some real airlines stories about holidays?

39
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.240
What it's like to fly during the holidays? Tell me

40
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.599
have you ever heard of a book called on Butterfly's Wings?

41
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.159
If you can answer yes or maybe to any of

42
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.039
the questions, I've asked than you are in the right place,

43

Today.

46
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.400
Time to rest, relax, go, get some wine, get some

47
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:24.159
cheese and crackers so you can join us in the

48
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.639
known wine zone. Now, let me tell you about our

based in five. She divides her time now between Houston

54
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.680
and Los Angele Jelus, and today she's in DC. It's

55
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:09.039
my pleasure to welcome to our podcast Tanya Anderson. Hi, Tanya,

56
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.240
how you doing today?

57
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.319
I'm fine. Happy holidays to you, January.

58
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.600
I know, isn't this exciting this holiday season? I can't

59
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.399
believe now it's here already.

60
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.360
Now we're in DC. Are you on a layover or

61
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.199
are you well? I'm on my days off. So this

62
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.720
is where I grew up. So I came back to

63
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.519
see friends and go to some holiday party, some good ones.

64
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.879
Okay, okay, that's perfect. That's kind of what the flight

65
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.399
attendants do. They're all over the world, seventy five countries,

66
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.600
you know. I checked my log book. I've only been

67
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.000
to fifty.

68
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.040
But that's but it's a blessing. It's great because you know,

69
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.519
you take so much information out of it and from

70
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.600
your experience, and it just goes into your memory and

71
00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.839
you have that experience for the rest of your life.

72
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.839
Call back on for sure.

73
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.120
Okay, So I wanted to talk a little bit about

74
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:11.120
flying and working during the holidays and how that affects

75
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:16.439
airline families. You know, for our family, my husband's schedule

76
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:21.439
determined when we would celebrate the holiday, and we would

77
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.240
have our holiday when he was home, and we worked

78
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.920
around it. Share with us a little a few holidays

79
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:29.680
stories you.

80
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:35.160
Have, well, you know, for us, it's kind of pot

81
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.560
look because I'm with an airline where they tell you

82
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.879
where you're going to be flying to, So like about

83
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:42.759
the middle of December, we'll know where we're going to

84
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.199
be flying for January and then you can start making plans.

85
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.800
So I took the first eleven days of December off,

86
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.879
which is our usual thing because we fly like three

87
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.680
weeks at a time abroad. And before last I went

88
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.079
to a party at the Czech Embassy which was lovely

89
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.040
live music by an ensemble playing classical music and they

90
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.439
had a really nice buffet. Unfortunately the ambassador was there

91
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.199
because I would have loved to have met him. That's

92
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.439
something really nice to do. And actually it's kind of

93
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.879
funny because on the way out you had to go

94
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.759
through the security not the gate, but the little security house.

95
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.680
And I got there and I'm waiting for the uber

96
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.000
and then the door gets stuck and everybody, you know,

97
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.959
they run and go home. They're trying to get in

98
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.560
the door and I start fighting with the door, and

99
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.839
security guards is, don't hurt yourself. I'm like, no, I'm

100
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.959
a flight attendant. We're stubborn. And so I got the

101
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.600
door open. Here comes this flood of people to leave.

102
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.839
And then last time I went to the annual California

103
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.000
State Society party up on Capitol Hill and the Canon

104
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:48.519
Caucus building. Yeah, it's really interesting. I took my girlfriend.

105
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.199
She'd never been on the hill before. So, you know,

106
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.839
I used to lobby as a volunteer for International human Rights.

107
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.600
So it's quite enormous, but it's heavy stuff, you know,

108
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.040
you go by you see the plan on the wall

109
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.680
with their name and what state they're from. And there's

110
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:07.759
some direct decorations out front, you know, like nutcrackers, big

111
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.160
big nutcrackers, like five feet tall, that sort of thing.

112
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.800
You know. For some of our listeners, who have you

113
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.959
been on the show before, I'm so happy to have

114
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:16.839
you back with us.

115
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.680
Share with our listeners the name.

116
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:25.160
Of your airline and what kind of airplanes you fly,

117
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.759
and tell us a little bit about the airline you

118
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:29.160
work for.

119
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:29.639
Now.

120
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.600
Okay, it's a charter airline, so it's called Atlas and

121
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:39.759
we we fly that the NBA and the NFL and actually,

122
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.560
my colleagues, I haven't got Moulster yet, but my colleagues

123
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.240
flew that indianman from Bombay, the one who's extremely wealthy,

124
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.240
where they had the enormous wedding and everybody's coming out

125
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.199
with diamonds, you know, the size of silver dollars around

126
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.000
their neck. I don't know if you don't about that,

127
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.680
But anyway, my colleagues flew that flight. I didn't. I

128
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.720
wills they fly the military, but I love that because

129
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.839
they're just so polite, so wonderful. I support them one

130
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.959
hundred percent. I love kidding with them. Sometimes they'll say, gentlemen,

131
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:11.560
do you know why they don't put any liquor of

132
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.439
this airplane because they A'll give it all to you.

133
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:18.319
That's great.

134
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.319
And the type of airplane you fly is seven forty

135
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.560
seven usually right, Yeah, that's.

136
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.839
Right, just like PanAm who had like about thirty eight

137
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.120
of them. Yes, we have a seven thirty SEVENS and

138
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.040
seven to sixty sevens.

139
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.840
Okay, And that's the seven forty seven. That's the airplane

140
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:39.200
that my husband, that's where his career ended on flying

141
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.480
down to Australia and New Zealand. And that's one of

142
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.559
the very favorite planes.

143
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.759
You were talking earlier about the door at the embassy.

144
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:50.639
I'm a curious question.

145
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:55.120
Have you ever had to evacuate an airplane?

146
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.720
No, I haven't, thank God, and I've been flying since

147
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.440
night ten eighty five. But we've had some other pretty

148
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:08.120
strange things. Yeah. We had like a medical emergency a

149
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.279
little bit over a year ago and the soldier he

150
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.320
was like twenty two and he caught really ill and

151
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.039
the colonel was administering oxygen to him and he went

152
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.480
through three oxygen bottles. Like just why we went up

153
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.440
the coast of America so now we're starting across the

154
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:29.639
Atlantic to go to Lithuania, and the purser was on it.

155
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.200
You know, he's calling medlink to find out what to do.

156
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.879
And I just had this inherent feeling that you know

157
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.279
when you're twenty two years old and you're so ill

158
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.639
like that. And the colonel said every time he took

159
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.879
the mask away that the soldier would throw up. When

160
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:45.879
I heard that, I'm like, well, it doesn't sound good,

161
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:47.600
So I said, I said to the colonel, We're going

162
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:49.799
to do everything we can to turn around get back.

163
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.120
And so we did, and we landed in New England

164
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.639
to a place where they know us very very well

165
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:58.679
and they're absolutely absolutely wonderful. It turned out this this

166
00:09:58.799 --> 00:09:59.759
kid had a bad heart.

167
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.360
Found out later, Oh okay, so that would have caused

168
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:03.960
that problem.

169
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:04.639
You know.

170
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:09.000
I can remember when I was with Eastern Airlines and

171
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:14.519
we went through training and we had to practice simulate

172
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:19.240
evacuating an airplane. So they took us out into Biscayme Bay.

173
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.639
This is a long time ago, and we all had

174
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:27.759
to jump out of these robots, all of these inflatable boats,

175
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.600
and we had to simulate saving people in the water.

176
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.879
It was as insane. What kind of training did you

177
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:41.960
have for evacuation? Oh? All kinds of things. But you know, really, January,

178
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.519
it hasn't changed as much as you might think. So

179
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.080
when I trained with America, sorry, when I trained with

180
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.200
pan AM in nineteen eighty five, it is very similar

181
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:51.600
to what you said. So we did it in a

182
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.360
swimming pool.

183
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:52.840
You know.

184
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:56.879
You you know, you inflate the life the life raft,

185
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.360
and you take turns inflating your vest, you know, like

186
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:01.519
you do it you're leaving the airplane. Now before you

187
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.519
leave the airplane, because then you know, it's like all

188
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.519
of a sudden, we're like this, You're in everybody's way. Yeah,

189
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.360
then you and then you similate different things. You put

190
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.200
up a raft, you know, and then then you delegate

191
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:17.159
authority to sorry, you put a canopy up over the raft.

192
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.480
Then you start delegating authority to people. And you know,

193
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.960
you discuss what you take off the airplane, like the

194
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.000
first aid kid, maybe even a survival kid. You know,

195
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.440
you have a survival manual in there, you know, you

196
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:30.200
do you.

197
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:30.600
Go through that.

198
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.639
It really hasn't changed as much as you might think.

199
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.960
Okay, well, all I remember is that the coast Guard

200
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.919
they were going around making way and we're having the

201
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.000
best time because they were pulling out us back in

202
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.039
the boat. Everyone who was wearing bikinis. So I mean.

203
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:55.960
Everyone probably volunteered for that job. Uh, I know. Crazy times.

204
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.559
Now this this holiday? Will you be?

205
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.720
Do you know now where you will be on Christmas

206
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:03.159
this year?

207
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.120
No, I have no idea. I have no idea. My

208
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.320
colleagues right now are over Germany and they're going to

209
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.840
all the Christmas festivals, which is really fabulous. Yeah, it's

210
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.159
so beautiful. They decorated so well, you know, and they

211
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:20.519
you go around and you have that mulled wine and oh,

212
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.919
it's just there's just so many wonderful things to buy,

213
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.720
and they're they're not as expensive as some store, so

214
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:27.919
you know, you're happy to find some bargains.

215
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.679
Oh gosh, well, I remember all during our flying years,

216
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.399
all the bargains. And it was interesting how the flight attendants,

217
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.519
if they'd find a great place or great store, it

218
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.799
would just spread and it would go through the grapevine

219
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.639
and yeah, everyone would you know, you had your list

220
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.639
at every layover, what store to go, what street, what

221
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:51.960
name to say.

222
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.399
For except underscore your point. Like two weeks ago, I

223
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.840
was in South Korea. Well, you know, there was something

224
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.000
there happened a few days ago, and we were only

225
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.759
there one night, and I heard through breakfast the next

226
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.360
day and ran out to my favorite little shop, and

227
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:08.559
they've got some really nice things in there. You know,

228
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:12.320
these wonderful boxes that wooden boxes are inlaid with mother

229
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.480
pearl in a dragon or you know, a tiger or

230
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:19.240
something like that. I mean, just really beautiful, beautiful.

231
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.559
Stuff to give friends back home for Christmas. Oh my gosh,

232
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.799
talk about Christmas shopping. That's that's a dream. You know.

233
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.799
I have another dream that I want to share with everyone.

234
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:34.279

review at Amazon for me. Daniel, Let's share a little

247
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.200
bit of information on your book so our listeners can

248
00:14:59.240 --> 00:14:59.919
get your book to.

249
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:09.240
That's so cool. Thank you. So gosh. I write about

250
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.639
so many things about meeting Nelson Mandela when he was

251
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:17.960
given the Congressional Gold Medal by Bill Clinton in nineteen

252
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.240
ninety eight. I was blessed by Mother Teresa in Calcutta,

253
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.480
which was just pure serendipity because she wasn't even supposed

254
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:27.000
to be home. She was supposed to be in Rome,

255
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.519
you know, meeting with the Pope because they were very

256
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.679
good friends. Gosh, so many things. Taking soldiers in and

257
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:36.480
out of the First Golf War. That was the first time.

258
00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:40.679
So about a month after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, I

259
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:45.200
flew the soldiers for the first first Calvary Ford Hood

260
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:49.480
Texas called now Fort Vesasas or something. Yeah. I took

261
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:51.840
them into Dahran, which is on the east coast of

262
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:56.039
side I Readia, south of Kuwait, and that's where they

263
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.519
were processed and that actually met somebody there, this wonderful

264
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:03.720
gal Shelley with the Air Force, and she was manifesting

265
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.679
the theater. She's taking inventory on everything that's coming in

266
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:09.200
and we became friends. We're still friends to this day.

267
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:10.759
I write about her a little bit in my book

268
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:15.320
Too Well. There's so many things lived in Nigeria, trained

269
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.360
flight attendants, there so many things.

270
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:26.159
Of the seventy five countries, What give me your top five?

271
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.080
What are your favorite top five country?

272
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.080
Oh? Boy, well, I had door Italy. I just I

273
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.279
love it. I really love Japan. They run such a

274
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:40.919
good show. They're just so organized, they are so polite,

275
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:43.639
and they just you know, for a city of thirty

276
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.799
eight million, Tokyo is remarkable. But you know, I have

277
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.039
something good to say about every country I've ever been to.

278
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:51.240
You know.

279
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.440
I love Spain. That's the land of my father's ancestors.

280
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.120
They were from Barcelona. Actually I was in I was

281
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:01.559
in Barcelona the night the men were walking on the

282
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:07.279
Moon in July nineteen sixty nine. It was so it

283
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:08.960
wasn't like the middle of the night, was like three

284
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:10.759
or four in the morning. Because I'm seventeen years old,

285
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.960
so it's really exciting. And then about a week later

286
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:16.519
I was over in Venice, This is obviously before I

287
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.640
was flying. I was in Venice at Saint Mark's Square

288
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.000
and there was a full moon and I heard these ladies,

289
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.119
older ladies saying rainbow. I can't believe we have men

290
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:31.839
up there walking on the moon. But they're a paradigm.

291
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:34.680
You know. That was really something. Oh yeah, well, but

292
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:38.240
that Those are my top five countries too.

293
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.119
I loved them because we lived in London, so that

294
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.160
became an anglophile. So spending a year there where we're

295
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.519
based there, we fell in love with London.

296
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:48.279
You know.

297
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.240
One Christmas, I remember my husband had a trip and

298
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.359
he was going to Hawaii and it was his flight

299
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.480
was Christmas Eve, so we just packed up all kids

300
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:05.799
because no one else was flying on Christmas Eve because

301
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:09.400
who would travel Christmas Eve? And so we got to

302
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:13.480
pass ride and we flew over with him to Hawaii

303
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.440
and so we wa woke up Christmas morning in the

304
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:23.680
Islands having an incredible memorable Christmas, one of our very

305
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:29.759
favorite memories. What about when you look back on all

306
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.400
your seventy five countries and all your holidays, what are

307
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:35.119
some of your favorite holidays?

308
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.079
Oh, you mean just in general, like around the clock.

309
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:43.319
It was close as you've been well. I mean, I

310
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.839
love Fourth in July because of the spirit. And actually

311
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.359
last night we were driving alongside the Potomac River and

312
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:50.279
I was saying to one of my best friends done.

313
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:52.640
I was saying, I can't wait one day. We've got

314
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:54.680
to charter just like a little boat for Fourth in

315
00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:57.079
July and just sit in the middle of the Potomac

316
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.920
River and watch the fireworks go off, because stunning. And

317
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.160
then then you kind of like, well, it's crowded the

318
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.400
Potomac River too, but but you avoid all the crowds

319
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.519
are actually there, you know, at the base of the

320
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.359
Washington Monument, you know, that sort of thing. But I

321
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.039
try to make the best of every holiday, holidays that

322
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.240
make sense, you know. And I have friends and other religions,

323
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.559
so when it's there a holiday like Ead or something

324
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:23.480
like that, I'm always sure to to, you know, wish

325
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.079
them a happy aid and you know, a feast at

326
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:29.440
the end of Remadan, these sort of things. We're quite

327
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.799
a quite cosmopolitan bunch, you know, sure for sure.

328
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:35.960
And of course, as you said, other countries have religions,

329
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.640
have different types of holidays. And I love the story

330
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:42.880
you told about the If you could share that again

331
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:50.440
about when you went to the wedding, the bride wasn't there.

332
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:53.960
You know, that's funny because at the other night, I

333
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.000
was at the Czech embassy and I met a couple

334
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.400
from Nigeria and they're boomers, you know, and he was

335
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.559
laughing what I call myself Battori, which means white woman

336
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:05.640
in one of their major languages. You know, he just laughed.

337
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:10.000
But yeah, So what happened was I worked for Chief Cabo,

338
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:14.240
Chief Cabo's favorite brother, Garba, and I became friends, and

339
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.000
Garba wanted me to have some of the Nigerian experiences.

340
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.960
They don't really have safari. They've they've let it go,

341
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.759
They've let people go in and post the animals, so

342
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.000
they really don't have safari like they do in Kenya

343
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:28.839
and other places. So Barbara reads for me to fly

344
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:33.119
up to Asakto, which northwestern Nigeria, to the Sultan's palace

345
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.720
on the occasion of his daughter's wedding. So I'm all

346
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:37.519
excited because I'm thinking about what I'm I going to wear.

347
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:39.759
But I took plenty of silk so and with long,

348
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:42.839
long dresses you know below the knee, very respectful and

349
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:45.559
that sort of thing. And so I went and I

350
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.559
couldn't even get out of the Honda car. Everybody's pressing forward.

351
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:50.720
But who's the madan, who's the white woman? You know,

352
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:53.720
I got a little taste of what it feels like

353
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.319
to be famous. It was kind of funny. So we

354
00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:59.680
got out. We went inside and I said to my

355
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.119
friend Bellow Cartooney, who was well connected because he worked

356
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:05.599
with the governor of that state. They had the British system,

357
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:09.720
and I said, where's the bride. I can't wait to

358
00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:12.119
meet her. And he said, oh, no, Madam, she will

359
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.599
not be here today. I said what and he said, yeah,

360
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.119
she's with like her lady ladies, awaiting her bride'smaids and

361
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:23.160
another location, just drinking cokes and fans and having having

362
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.319
a lunch. And I was so disappointingcause I thought it

363
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:27.960
would be so wonderful to meet her and just just

364
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:31.160
see how how she's dressed. And you know, I'm just

365
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.279
just because I'm into culture. I'm really into culture, so

366
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.359
I just really wanted to see it. But then I

367
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:38.880
went to the main hall where the sultan was and

368
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:40.720
he was a tiny little guy and he's sitting on

369
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:45.799
this big velvet red velvet throne that actually just dwarfed him,

370
00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:51.880
and they said, your majesty Tanya, Madame Tanya has come

371
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:53.920
all the way from the United States of America on

372
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:56.039
the occasion of your daughter's wedding. And he just went

373
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:59.799
like this, just went like big deal. You know, I

374
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.039
can laugh at myself too, you know, And I thought, okay,

375
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.559
you know, and then I was escorted to another part

376
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:09.839
of the palace. And what's interesting about that is they

377
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:11.880
do something that we don't really do in the States,

378
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:14.880
and they have a separate room for the very impoverished

379
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.599
I mean very very poor people and just the men,

380
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:20.359
and they come through the buffet and then they take

381
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:23.680
like a to go plate to take home to their families. Yeah,

382
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:28.519
it's quite amazing. Okay, Now was the stride? I'm curious

383
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:32.640
was this a child bride or was this you never met? No? No,

384
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:36.160
she was a twenty something. But I did almost meet

385
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:39.160
a child bride ten years old in India in northern

386
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:42.440
India one time. Wow. Wow, wow.

387
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.920
You know. I remember when my husband was flying on

388
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:50.720
the seven forty seven that was the crew compliment for

389
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:54.680
the back end was eighteen. Is that still the number

390
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:56.880
that takes off with that plane every time.

391
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:00.359
Jeez, I don't know to tell you the truth. I've

392
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:05.319
worked so many different configurations of seven four sevens like

393
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.319
a panamic. He used to be twenty one and first class,

394
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.079
forty four in business and three point forty seven in

395
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.039
the back, for I total of about four to twenty five.

396
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:16.000
But when you fly charters, it's a different configuration. We

397
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.160
do have a couple of some four sevens that have

398
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:20.680
the pods up front. And then last year we were

399
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:24.799
flying the College bull I flew the Michigan Michigan State.

400
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:28.920
They're so nice. They were just starting for and I

401
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:31.039
had the Pom Pom girls. I didn't have the team,

402
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.720
but they were charming for days and they knew what

403
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:36.559
was going on and all sided they won. It was

404
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:39.240
like the equivalent of their Super Bowl, except for College Bowl.

405
00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:41.920
Obviously it's at an NFL. But they were up in

406
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:44.079
the pods up front. They're like that.

407
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.079
I know. It's fun because you think, well, these people

408
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.559
can't be impressed anymore. But one of my husband's favorite

409
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:55.640
flights was he got to fly the charter to bring

410
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.359
in He graduated from Ohio State, so he got to

411
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:04.599
bring the team from Columbus to Los Angeles for the Rose.

412
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:08.039
Bowl, Candless did.

413
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.880
He went to Ohio State and so as the plane

414
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:19.279
was coming in taxing in in LA, he had a

415
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:20.920
big out of the cockpit.

416
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:25.799
He had a big Ohio state flag. Wow, I love that.

417
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:30.279
I love that. Yeah. So he was on the evening news.

418
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.599
And then when they came off the plane, the Rose

419
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:37.440
queens every time they kissed you, they put.

420
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:39.920
A rose on your jacket, your shoe.

421
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:46.119
When he came from allies roses because they all wanted to.

422
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:49.599
So you can can't how many times he got kissed. Huh. Yeah.

423
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:53.240
Now, when you look back on your career, who do

424
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:57.359
you when you're people that you've charted and flown If

425
00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:59.759
you can share with us, who are some of the

426
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:06.240
impressive some of the most amazing people that you've met.

427
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.599
Well, I had one time on the Gulf Stream, so

428
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.400
that only seats like ten to twelve and that's cheap

429
00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:16.880
to gel, but it's such a beautiful pristine aircraft is

430
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.759
twenty years ago and I flew Danny DeVito and Rea

431
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:24.000
Pearlman and they were with Lucy lou and a couple

432
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:29.039
of other Hollywood types. So we're going from LA to

433
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.400
the Virgin Islands and then we're going to pick up

434
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:35.119
their kids and then and fly them up to school

435
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:37.599
and Rhode Island. Well, you know it's funny, becuse yea.

436
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.680
I've been screen actors built since yeah, two thousand and

437
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.000
so you know, you really really are just dying to

438
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:46.480
hear what they're saying, like about the next contract and

439
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.359
who's turned it down, and who they're thinking about for

440
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:51.559
the lead and such and such a film. But of

441
00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:53.799
course you can't do that, and there are not too

442
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:55.920
many places to go on the Gulf Stream. But they

443
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:59.519
were absolutely delightful. They were so so sweet, and Danny

444
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:01.960
DeVito was helping me with the coffeemaker because it work.

445
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:05.359
Mister Devino, really, I'm sorry you'd have a Seene says, no,

446
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:08.440
I'm enjoying myself. He's poka wetas. And then at one

447
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.599
point Raya Perlman looks at me and she says, now,

448
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:13.880
I've been watching you the entire fight, and you need

449
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.240
to sit down that Jewish mama stuff, and I just

450
00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:19.160
love it. It was just so sweet, just so caring

451
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:21.480
and so sweet. But here's a trip that we had

452
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:24.640
that was really amazing. I don't know if you still

453
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:26.440
do it or not, but it was February of that year.

454
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:29.839
So we had a seven twenty seven configure into fifty

455
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:32.480
first class seats all the same size, and four club tables,

456
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.519
and every single person on that flight just from La

457
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:41.440
to Las Vegas was a VIP. I mean, it was amazing.

458
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:45.160
So we had even receaint We had Brooks Shields, we

459
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:48.720
had Salmahayek, we had the lake Quincy Jones, we had

460
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:52.279
Harvey Kaitel, we had a couple of the Friends people.

461
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:54.960
It was just a man. I mean that's years ago,

462
00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:59.039
but it was just so amazing and everybody was fine.

463
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:01.920
It was all good. And it was the Show West Convention,

464
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.359
that's what it's called. And what you do is you

465
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:06.400
go and you talk about your latest movie. So they're

466
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:08.799
excited because they want to get the word out about

467
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:13.960
whatever their film is. And we get to and Bookshiels

468
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:16.240
actually came to the gallley and spoke to my colleague

469
00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:18.880
Emmaly and said, I remember you. You used to fly

470
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:20.839
on MGM Grant and you were so good to my

471
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:23.559
mother and I and he was just so excited. We

472
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:29.359
had Courtney Cox, we had so many anyways, So all

473
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:31.640
I wanted to say was so we pull up, you know,

474
00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:34.079
the to the pads. You don't really have a gate there,

475
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:36.599
and like you have fifty because there a're fifty people

476
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:39.880
on board, you have fifty stretch limbos all stacked up

477
00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:43.799
like corn rows, just like perfect perfect order. You know, Oh,

478
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:44.720
that's amazing.

479
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:50.640

498
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:15.279
I'm getting so excited about Christmas. I've been busy doing

499
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.720
my shopping at Amazon. I guess a lot of people

500
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:23.119
are doing that these days, you know, Dona. Let I

501
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:26.440
love hearing about all the famous, famous people, but share

502
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:31.400
with our listeners. I thought your story about Mother Teresa

503
00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:35.440
and what the work she does was an amazing story.

504
00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:38.920
Could you share a little bit of that with us? Well, yes,

505
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:43.599
it's absolutely remarkable. So she founded Missions of Charity in

506
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:47.519
nineteen fifty two in Calcutta. She's originally from Albania and

507
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:49.960
she was looking for a very poor place. I take

508
00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:53.119
Calcutta is difficult. I've been to New Delhi and Agraa

509
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:57.759
and Bombay and Calcutta is very rough. It's very, very rough.

510
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:01.519
So she founded the Home for the Destitute and Dying.

511
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:04.640
And in nineteen fifty two, the year I was born,

512
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:07.359
she found a man in the street and he's just

513
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:10.079
on his last legs, and so she took him and

514
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:12.839
gave him shelter, and then that's what inspired the whole

515
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:16.079
thing and took care of him so he would have somebody,

516
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:20.200
you know, as he's leaving this world. And even now

517
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:23.400
it's still very difficult. You know, the homeless people sleep

518
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.519
outside and in the middle of the night the cart

519
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:28.680
comes along and it feels the pulses. If somebody hasn't

520
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:30.359
got a pulse, they put him in the cart and

521
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:32.400
they take him to the pyre in the center of town.

522
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:35.519
I mean, that's still what goes on to the state.

523
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:41.720
She also has a wonderful seal two I guess two

524
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:46.319
orphanages because you know, the girls are a liability in India.

525
00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:49.799
That was one of the things I was volunteering for

526
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:53.400
on Capitol Hill as a lobbyist to try and offer

527
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.400
an and sendative to the government of India to you know,

528
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.920
kind of change their ways because it's a deep cultural thing.

529
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.160
But if you have a daughter, she's a liability, particularly

530
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:04.480
if you're poor, because you have to come up with

531
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.359
the dowry when she's going to get married, and of

532
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:09.559
course you want her to marry the best possible person

533
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:13.519
she can in her class, so it gets negated. So

534
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:17.720
when you go to the orphanages, you see many more

535
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:22.359
girls than boys. And we I met this lovely lady

536
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:25.039
called Sister and Teres. Unfortunately she just passed away about

537
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:29.000
a year ago, and she arranged for us to go

538
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:32.079
to the home for the desk student dying. And that

539
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:35.240
was fascinating because you see, sometimes they have two or

540
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:37.960
three diseases. You don't you don't even know. But what

541
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:42.039
happened was over the years, you know, mothers Teresa's and

542
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:46.000
nuns were nursing them, so they became better, and so

543
00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:48.279
now they had to rehab them because now now you

544
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.160
can release them, you know, back well to where her

545
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:57.720
home they were in and yeah, so yeah, so you'd

546
00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:00.079
have to teach them a skill like for women and

547
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:02.359
you know, basket weaving or something like that, you know.

548
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:04.839
And then the third place I went to was their

549
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:08.599
leaper shelter, which is about forty five minutes north of Calcutta.

550
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:11.680
I wanted to see how she ran the show. And

551
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:13.240
I don't know if you know or not, but all

552
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.920
I'm not capping on piscopinnion, all the sorryes, the blue

553
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.000
and white sories that mother Teresa wore and her and

554
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:23.319
her sisters were, We're all are made by the Lepers

555
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:27.039
in the Leper colony where we went to see them. Yeah,

556
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:29.559
and they raise their own chickens and they and they

557
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:34.319
grow their own vegetables, so it's organic. Really, they're they're

558
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:38.319
eating organic vegetables. So yeah, so they run a really

559
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:41.720
good show. There are many in many countries. Even then

560
00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:44.240
they were in eighty two countries. And you know they're

561
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:45.920
in New York. They're in Brooklyn, New York as well.

562
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:50.440
Missions of charity. Yeah, amazing.

563
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:57.119
You know, does your airline have mandatory retirement? I mean,

564
00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.599
how long do you think you'll be able to keep

565
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:01.119
doing this wonderful career?

566
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:06.119
You know, I know people asked me that, and it's

567
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:10.079
hard to say. You know, pilots now have to retire

568
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:13.119
at sixty five. I'm not sure. I just love it

569
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:17.559
so much, particularly the military. And you know sometimes we

570
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:19.799
have like a three am pick up in the lobby

571
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.079
and you wake up, your kind of sluggish, and then

572
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:23.799
the minute they got on the airplane, it's like I

573
00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:27.240
get a second second win, automatic second win. And I

574
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:30.359
mean obviously they're very young, but when you think of

575
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:33.119
what they go through, I mean just basic training. I

576
00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:34.799
mean when I was eighteen years old, I wouldn't have

577
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.519
done well in basic training because I don't have I'm

578
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.880
not that athletic and stuff. But I mean the things

579
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:44.200
that they do every day every day for our country,

580
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:47.799
I mean, the sacrifice is really great and they're just

581
00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:50.440
absolutely the best passengers in the world. I love, I

582
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.839
really just fantastic, the real And.

583
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:56.599
So for your reoccurreent, how often do you have to

584
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:59.400
go back and do training to stay current on the

585
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:00.400
different air crap?

586
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:03.799
What's here? And then we also do cprs.

587
00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:06.599
Well, oh okay, and where do you go to train

588
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:12.239
in Miami? Oh okay, That's that's where we all started off,

589
00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:14.039
I know.

590
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:18.280
And then we also do a ED training, which which

591
00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:20.960
is yeah, it's well, you know you've probably seen in

592
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:23.920
the airports they have you know, like you just open

593
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.519
up the glass like you would for you know, fire

594
00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:30.320
e singuisher and it has the prompts and everything. First

595
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:31.880
thing you do is turn it on. Then you listen

596
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:35.280
to the prompts and if the ae ED detects even

597
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:40.360
the slight heart beat, then it won't it won't do it.

598
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:42.199
So if you panic, can you push the go button?

599
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:44.880
It won't. It won't charge them. But you have to

600
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:48.599
stand back from from the patient because you know, if

601
00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:52.239
I if I'm touching that I'm touching you, then you know,

602
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:54.760
like right right through on the like a conductor, so

603
00:34:55.760 --> 00:35:00.320
of the electricity. So, but it's just the feeling. It's

604
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.920
like such a great safety net to know that we

605
00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:04.239
have that on board if we need it.

606
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:07.000
Okay, And so have you flown a total of how

607
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:07.639
many years?

608
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:11.360
Well since nineteen eighty five, so I guess next year

609
00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:12.239
will be forty.

610
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:18.119
And I think that's incredible that you never had to

611
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:23.559
evacuate a plane. Let's say my husband flew close to

612
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:26.039
forty years, nor did he ever.

613
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:26.800
Have to do that.

614
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:32.079
The closest I ever came one time with Eastern we

615
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:37.920
had to foam a runway because they weren't sure that

616
00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:42.039
the landing gear was locked. So they foamed it and

617
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:45.280
we dropped the fuel and then we came back and

618
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:49.280
the gear was locked. And it's so wonderful because so

619
00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:55.079
many people are fearful still to this day of flying.

620
00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:00.000
And when we add up a number of years you've flown,

621
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:03.239
own my husband and my I mean, it's incredible how

622
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:04.480
safe it is to fly.

623
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:07.880
It's remarkable. Yeah, I mean, I'm a real fan of

624
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.400
Boeing too. I know there's been some trouble with the

625
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:13.039
CEO and all that when he was kind of four

626
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:16.079
years apparently. Yeah, but I've always been a real fan

627
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:18.800
of Boeing because the first time I flew to go

628
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:20.559
to school in England when I was fourteen, was a

629
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.159
Boeing seven oh seven and I'm seeing the window seat

630
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:25.599
looking at I mean, I'd flown before, but in the States.

631
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:28.119
I was my first trip across the Atlantic and I'm

632
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:30.400
looking at the Rolls Royce engines and checking all. It

633
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:33.079
was actually are India because my father knew one of

634
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:36.159
the executives at ARE India. So and I was, oh,

635
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:38.840
you am on a company minor. I mean I was fourteen,

636
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:41.079
I was tall, but you know, I'm still going from

637
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:44.440
one content to another. So that started it all.

638
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:49.079
Yeah. Yeah, And you know, I think everyone remembers their

639
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:53.199
first flight. My first flight, I was eighteen, and it

640
00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:58.239
was just a puddle jumper. It was from Detroit to

641
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:03.760
Grand Rapids, just in Michigan. And once you do that

642
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:09.840
first flight, man, it's amazing how it changes your life,

643
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:10.760
don't you great.

644
00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:14.880
Yes, yes, actually you know I did have Well, we

645
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:17.960
had to prepare for a possible evacuation. Just last year,

646
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:20.880
we had taken off from Germany and we'd reached ten

647
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:23.559
thousand feet, but we're not getting anymore out here. We're

648
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:26.400
going to you know, so we know something's kind of up,

649
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:30.519
and there was something wrong with the fuel filter and

650
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:34.000
it was seven sixty seven, so you know, we have

651
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:35.880
to be really careful. So we only have two engines,

652
00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:39.920
and so we prepared them. The crew was really good

653
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:42.480
about it. We were all in perfect syncreticity. And one

654
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:44.920
of the guys I worked with, she's former American Airlines,

655
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:46.719
so you know, they have a really good training program.

656
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:49.400
So all together we were one hundred percent well. I

657
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:52.920
briefed the overwing exits, so we had two overwing exits

658
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:57.360
on each side, and I went over and when I

659
00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:00.559
was talking to for the air Force goals and I said,

660
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:03.320
now be sure to once the airplane comes to complete stop,

661
00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:05.880
please be sure to look out the window and assess

662
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:07.760
the situation, because you don't want to send them to

663
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:11.280
a fire or situation that's horse than what's inside. And

664
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:14.239
a couple of started to tear up, and I said, now,

665
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:17.239
I've been flying since I was six months old. I said,

666
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:19.320
I've never had. I said, this is the first time

667
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:21.599
I've ever had to brief anybody, and I've never been

668
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:24.320
briefed on a possible evacuation. And I said, We're going

669
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:25.920
to be just fine. And we had a smooth and

670
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:26.599
silk landing.

671
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:33.559
Oh yeah, Well, I'll never forget having to foam a

672
00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:36.639
runway and I'll never forget being so glad we didn't

673
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:37.599
have to use it.

674
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:41.440
So I had that too. One time in Saudi Arabia,

675
00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:43.800
we had an engine number four caught on fire right

676
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:46.119
on takeoff. We were leaving Saudi Arabia on the seven

677
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:50.280
floor and going to Nigeria, and I was the front

678
00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:53.400
purser and I'm facing a ft and I'm looking at

679
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:56.079
so I see engine number two and what it happened

680
00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:58.159
was actually engine number four, but it flared up so

681
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.119
much that it reflected engine number two too well. My

682
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:04.079
colleague on the jump scene said, tiny, what it must

683
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:06.559
have sounded like it was five years I went fire

684
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:11.440
like that, And so the load master came running down

685
00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:14.199
the spiral staircase and said, we're going back in the guys,

686
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:17.440
are you know? So they're talking to the tower declaring

687
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:20.039
emergency because you know, we're kind of heavy. We're fueled

688
00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:22.000
up for a five hour flight to Nigeria. We're not

689
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:25.280
super heavy, but we're kind of heavy. Then you know,

690
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.719
they're putting out the fire with the fire extinguishers inside

691
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:32.199
the engine, and then they're talking to Jetta tower and

692
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:34.679
we went around and we came back in. We came

693
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:37.039
in a little hard. Of course, we could expect that

694
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:39.719
because we're still a little bit heavy. We did dump

695
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:42.599
some fuel, but probably not enough. And you know, you

696
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:47.199
have eighteen tires on the seven four seven we uh

697
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:50.199
ten or twelve of them had to be replaced because

698
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:53.840
the friction comes up. The friction is so so hot,

699
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:58.079
so they blow up. Like you said, they phoned us

700
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:00.119
down too because they can see. Well, you know, you

701
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:01.760
don't want any problems, you know, so.

702
00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:05.840
Oh yeah, you know you look back over your career.

703
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:10.599
I was very lucky. When I was younger, I had.

704
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:14.719
An opportunity to meet actually to meet.

705
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:19.119
Charles Lindbergh, and I've written about that in my book

706
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:24.199
as far as and also I was able I met

707
00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:25.480
the astronauts too.

708
00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:29.559
So now so much talk us about going to Mars.

709
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:32.800
What are your thoughts about that?

710
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.480
Well, I actually was just recently viewing a picture of

711
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:41.960
a life kind of thing of the Mars surface of

712
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:44.320
the Mars, and it's kind of other worldly as you

713
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:50.519
can imagine. But yeah, NASA, NASA is such an amazing group.

714
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:53.440
I flew buzz Aldron one time in that same flight

715
00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:58.559
TK maddingly okay, and I might have slipped this in

716
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:03.599
real fast, But who I support? George Whitesides in California

717
00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:06.920
is a new congressman, just got elected. He'll be sworn

718
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:10.679
in January third. And he's the former chief of staff

719
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:14.519
for Nasty. He had fifteen thousand workers underneath it. Now,

720
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:18.599
you know, that's a lot of responsibility to keep run hurt.

721
00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:22.199
As my parents would say, run heard on. Fifteen thousand employees,

722
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:25.599
and everybody's got an opinion. Everybody's very smart. So you

723
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:29.119
know it can't be that easy, right for sure? For sure?

724
00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:34.480
So I assume you still vote in California. Yes, Yeah,

725
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:36.800
it's easier. We have a really good system out there.

726
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:39.960
Yeah yeah, Well we were there for forty years.

727
00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:44.719
Okay, that's cool. I love We were.

728
00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:47.400
Based there for forty years and we loved California. Then

729
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:52.039
we retired to Arizona, and now we retired to Florida.

730
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:57.559
Where everyone ends up eventually, let me ask him a question.

731
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:00.360
I always ask everyone on my show before we go,

732
00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:07.199
if you could choose someone living or beyond to have

733
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:13.320
dinner with besides me? There you go, who would you

734
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:16.719
invite to dinner? Or one or two? You don't have

735
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:18.960
to just limit it to one. Who would you like

736
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:19.920
to have dinner with?

737
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:26.679
Anybody who I mean like MLK or mother Teresa. She

738
00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:30.039
did speak English, but she was so ill when I

739
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:35.159
met her, but she didn't complain. Anybody who is like

740
00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:40.679
a world icon Mahama Gandhi, somebody of that ILK who

741
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:43.920
could tell me what inspired them? Because you know all

742
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:47.679
these people, these visionaries and luminaries, they knew at a

743
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:50.480
very young age that they had a mission to fulfill.

744
00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:52.719
And I would just like to hear that whole story

745
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:54.760
from a to Z, like tell me your life story

746
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:57.280
from the first time you realized that you were different

747
00:42:57.280 --> 00:42:58.280
from everybody else.

748
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:02.920
And it is incredible because we talked earlier when you

749
00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:05.960
were on the show before about the Dalai Lama, and

750
00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:10.760
I believe that when they decided that is some mere child,

751
00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:15.079
when they find out that the Dalai Lama, which is

752
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:19.519
incredible for a child to grow up with that title

753
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:23.519
and to have all that responsibility ahead of them.

754
00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:28.400
He's a remarkable man. I've heard him speak at American University,

755
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:31.119
which is my alma mater, and then out at UCSB.

756
00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:37.280
And then when Schwartzenegger was the governor California, Maria Schreiver

757
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:42.440
had this wonderful thing called the Governor's Women's Conference. Wow,

758
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:46.800
and all these Sullenberger was there and oh my gosh,

759
00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:51.159
anybody that's anybody was practically there and I was volunteering

760
00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:53.519
for care and it was just so much fun. But

761
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:56.599
the Dalai Lama spoke and it was just so cute

762
00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:59.800
because you know, Maria Shriver started out with how does

763
00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:02.599
it feel to be surrounded by fourteen thousand women because

764
00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:06.559
that was the capacity of the Long Beach Convention Center

765
00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:09.639
at the d or how many people had RSVP? And

766
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:12.719
he's just laughing. And then he has a baseball hat

767
00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:14.159
on because you don't have the lights, you know this

768
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:17.800
how the lights come in on you. And Maria's trying

769
00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:19.119
to figure out a way to get him to take

770
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:22.000
off the hat because she wants to see him like

771
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:24.119
and she said, is there any chips?

772
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:24.320
Well?

773
00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:27.039
Could you would you mind removing your hat, and he said,

774
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:28.760
but the lights through of my eyes and he's laughing

775
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.639
the whole time. I mean, he's a wonderful sport. He's

776
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:35.719
just so well centered and so obviously incredibly spiritual, but

777
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:38.639
just just an otherworldly human being.

778
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:44.440
Special, very special. No, you know, I've just finished my

779
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:48.239
eighth book, Curious to Know do you What do you

780
00:44:48.360 --> 00:44:49.880
have found the drawing board?

781
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:54.280
What are your projects that you're looking forward to? Oh, well,

782
00:44:54.280 --> 00:44:56.760
I'm going to I'm already ten chapters in the second

783
00:44:56.800 --> 00:44:58.679
book because I still have quite a lot of material

784
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:01.599
about things. I want to talk about my school in

785
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:04.840
England because it's very very special. I mean, there were

786
00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:07.440
amazing people there to give me an idea. The classes

787
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:10.719
only had like eight students and one of my form

788
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:13.880
my first year, one of my fellow students was Prince

789
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:17.079
Mahidol of Thailand who's now King Rama the tenth of Thailand.

790
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:20.599
And it's just such a small world. And so I

791
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:23.880
have to do a whole chapter about Millfield and then

792
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:26.000
I have but I have to read my diaries. I

793
00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:28.920
kept a lot of diaries and then glean it from that.

794
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:30.920
But then I also want to talk about, you know,

795
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:34.239
working in Hollywood, as background. You know, they call us

796
00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:37.079
props with appetites when they think we're not listening. But

797
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:39.119
I really love that I worked. I was regular on

798
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:41.159
West Wing and then I worked on Cash Me If

799
00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:45.239
you Can, and More of the Worlds and We're Trade Center.

800
00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:48.599
I just all kinds of films and it's very interesting

801
00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:52.599
to see how they put films together, the lighting, the action,

802
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:56.480
the dialogue, everything. I just love it. It's so interesting

803
00:45:56.519 --> 00:45:58.760
to me. Yeah, that's wonderful.

804
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:00.719
And you know, that's kind of pretty much what I

805
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:05.119
tried to do when I wrote Living and Dying without Whining.

806
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:09.400
I try to write about things that I've been able

807
00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:13.320
fortunate to do that most people don't get to do.

808
00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:17.360
And that's the So that's the fun of sharing, which

809
00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:24.320
you obviously have a whole list. So now I want

810
00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:27.599
you to keep me in the loop when this next year,

811
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:30.400
next book comes out. You're so sweet.

812
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:33.679
Thank you for that's that's very very nice. Yeah, it's

813
00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:35.679
so much fun too, because, as you know, you have

814
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:38.599
an opportunity to honor people. I mention a lot of

815
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:41.440
people in my book because you know, they all may

816
00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:44.159
help make my life golden and they shared the adventure

817
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:48.119
with me in India and Saudi Arabia and Malaysia and

818
00:46:48.159 --> 00:46:52.199
who knows everywhere in Nigeria. You know, there's just so much,

819
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:55.159
and so I express gratitude to them and what they

820
00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:57.840
brought to the table for me. Because life is all

821
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:01.400
your God's classroom is all learning. It's right, I know.

822
00:47:01.639 --> 00:47:05.239
And then everyone you meet, they're they're the teachers. They're

823
00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:08.239
here to show you, to help you, to guide you.

our stories in our show with everyone you know. Remember

842
00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:27.840
you need to stop whining and then you need to

start smiling. And if that doesn't work, then you can

just start eating chocolate, lots and lots of chocolate. Take

can you. You are the ultimate success coach in your
