Kate would never have gotten involved with Death Row Restaurant if she hadn’t hated Wichita, Kansas so much. The whole thing began in the lobby of United Airlines’ flight attendant training facility in Chicago. Kate and Tina, both in their mid-twenties, had just endured a long-winded graduation ceremony, the culmination of ten weeks of flight attendant training. When most people think of flight attendants they picture them pouring diet cokes into small cups and doling out headphones. But the reality of flight attendant training had been much more intense. At thirty thousand feet dangers proliferate. Flight attendants now get significant medical training and even hand to hand combat training. Fully one third of Kate’s initial training class hadn’t survived the regimen. And although Kate’s parents did not fly in for her graduation and Kate’s friends from college and her parents' friends from her hometown of Scarsdale, New York will no doubt think of Kate as a sky waitress, Kate had bigger concerns than their misguided notions of what flight attendants do. What mattered to Kate on the day of her graduation was her route assignment. With zero seniority, Kate knew her inaugural route assignment wouldn’t be glamorous. But Kate felt strongly, perhaps for the first time in her life, that after many cancellations and mechanical delays, her life was finally ready for takeoff.
