Military charter flights are the most pleasurable flights for me to work. They are so kind, respectful, and grateful for everything I do. The verbal exchanges with them are so sweet and fun. And of course, looking at them in uniform isn’t so bad either. What they don’t know is the admiration that I have for them. To try and even THINK about what they go through is not even possible. The physical and mental challenges that they must face just blow my mind. I have such great respect for these special angels that protect my freedom every single day.

This is a common refrain: flight attendants see the WORST stuff on the road. And there are definitely layover hotels that can be expected to provide exciting content. But one hardworking sky nanny was disappointed to see THIS at an Embassy Suites.
