[ Airplane engine takeoff]
Being a flight attendant, you never know
where a new day is going to take you.
We jet-set to some of the most beautiful places
in the world,
get invited to exclusive parties,
and live extraordinary lives.
And the best part about it is, it's our job.
- Ever since I was a little girl,
I wanted to be a flight attendant.
They were these independent, confident, successful women
that were in control of their lives.
And now that's me.
- I grew up in a strict community,
where my family had a clear vision
for me to become a nurse...
Until one day I realized that wasn't what I wanted.
So I made my own decision to become a flight attendant.
I haven't looked back since.

- flying is everything for me.
I've been doing it for almost nine years now,
and I'm good at what I do.
But when you travel all the time,
I've learned that sometimes
life on the ground can pass you by.
- I became a flight attendant because I love to travel.
I do have a ten-year-old son that I do need to take care of,
and he is my main focus.
- Back home in Arizona,
I was destined for the white-picket-fence life
of settling down,
getting married, and having kids.
But I knew that wasn't for me.
So I headed to California and became a flight attendant.
Now I'm in control of my own destiny.

which is typical for flight attendants.
So we call it the crash pad.

Yeah, so it would be nice to see you again.

Sometimes you just gotta take action, make things happen...
Just go with it.

- Sorry to interrupt.
- Oh. - It's time to go.
We've got only 12 hours before our flight tomorrow, so...
- 12 hours? I mean, you could still party for a little bit.
- That's, like, the time they give us to stop drinking,
get some rest, be ready for the next day, so...
- Mandy saved me. She got me out of there.
- What was that?
[Girls laughing]
- Okay, but what's more awkward...
That kiss
or me working the Fort Lauderdale launch
tomorrow with Nikole?
[Both laugh]
[Cheers and applause]
- It's quite a production, huh?
- One of the best perks about my job
is being part of the promo team.
Every time the company launches a new city,
they throw an inaugural party.
I'm so excited to work this event.
When you're part of the promo team, all eyes are on you.
This is insane.
I don't think Virgin America has ever put on
an event this big for a new city.
- All right, guys.
You've got a very busy schedule.
Rachel and Jenna,
I want you to greet everyone that is coming in.
Let's have Farrah and Nikole
work the v.I.P., reserved seating area.
Our two flights from L.A. and San Francisco
are gonna come in through here.
They're gonna be parked over here.
So we're gonna just shoot a big stream of water
right over the planes.
And, Mandy,
I wanna put you out on the fire truck with Richard.
- When you're on a fire truck with Richard Branson,
this is the coveted position at this event.
And I'm so excited.
- You ready? Let's work the room, people.
Let's work the room.
[Pop music]
- Part of the day was just working the party,
kind of introducing people to the airline.
- So, um, quick question. - Yeah.
- You guys put Mandy on the fire truck?
- Yeah. - Okay.
Good. She's cute. - She is.
It's a pretty big event
for someone to do it for the first time.
- Well, keep an eye on them, Nikole.
Keep an eye on these guys.
- I will watch the fort down here.
I'll make sure it all gets handled.
- Thanks. I appreciate that. That'd be good.
- Nice.
- Mind if I borrow her for a second?
Thanks. - See you in a bit.
- Okay. - Can you help us out
by putting all the centerpieces on the tables?
They seem to be missing.
- All of a sudden, Nikole starts kind of barking orders.
I'm like, "okay, what are you doing?"
Make sure that all the napkins
have the paperweights on them.

Thank you.

because you can't just be a friend
who's happy for another friend to have a moment.
And if you don't see that,
maybe we shouldn't live together,
