Sheila Fedrick
Sheila Fedrick has been working as a flight attendant for Alaska Airlines for 10 years now. The 49-year-old stewardess is well known for her devotion to the work. Her positive attitude and affable smile make her personality even more pleasant. Her work involves looking after the needs of passengers on the plane, get them refreshment and maintain a positive attitude around them. On that day of 2011, she was doing the same when she got confronted with something really unusual.
The San Francisco bound flight took off from Seattle with hundreds of passengers on it. As usual, Sheila was attending to the passengers with her welcoming smile. Everything looked perfectly normal. The journey was short termed stretching up to two hours only. However, this short-termed journey was going to make a big change in the passengers’ life.
Underrated Job
The job of a flight attendant is grossly underrated in today’s world. They not only take care of the passenger’s need but also emerges as a bridge connecting passengers and management. Additionally, they have to look after the needs of each and every person on board and make sure they all have a nice journey.
Flying Heroes
There have been a number of incidents of encountering unfavorable circumstances in flights. And in lots of those cases, the flight attendants have emerged as a hero of the scene. However, this case was entirely different.
Experience Counts
Fedrick has been in this business for a decade and such a long experience really helps her big time in grasping the mood, need and state of mind of any passenger. Likewise, that very day she was taking rounds in the flight to see if anyone needs anything when her eyes captured a peculiar sight. On the very first glance, she understood that something was not right.
Strange Girl
There was a woman sitting next to the window. To Fedrick, the girl looked far from normal. Strangely, nobody on the flight noticed her weirdness except Fedrick. Was there something really weird about the girl or was it just her assumption? She needed to confirm that.
No Similarity
The glaring difference between the two had whetted her curiosity. They seemed totally lost whereas it was not difficult to see that the man belonged to a well to do family. Were they family? At this point, she really needed to get an answer to these question. So she paced towards the girl to get a closer look at her.
