Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end.... well they did.  Our story has changed from the glamorous life of a stewardess to the stressful life of a flight attendant.

Tune in for an enlightening discussion with Patricia Ireland, one of the pioneers feaured in the amazing documentary, "Fly With Me' and amazing documentary co-produced by Sarah Colt and Helen Dobrowski, which aired on February 20th on PBS and is now available on YouTube.

Patricia Ireland was a stewardess and filed a compliant about Pan Am's discriminatory health benefits policy.  The Washing Post stated "The release of the film ( "Fly With Me")  coincided with a nationawide protest  by thousand of flight attendants, and Ireland  "stated the movie reminded her of how hard it was for her generation of flight attendants and said the film illustrates the power of activism, and can act as a catalyst for future movements". Her passion for getting involved in changing conditions that weren't equal or just lead her to become  former president of the National Organization for Women.
