'CLEARING THE AIR: Air Rage and Outrage' is a flight attendant memoir that recounts a long history that represents the experiences of a resilient woman who, after she is assaulted on a work-flight by the wife of a French aristocrat, finds herself embroiled in a David and Goliath struggle with her employer. The two volumes to 'Clearing the Air' span 1995 through 2010 during which time Greta is disappointed that neither the airline nor the federal agencies responsible to uphold aviation law advocate to her nor support her through the legal process. Rather, she is ordered into silence. Instead, Greta sues her assailant and she pursues five years of research, then speaking out to issues of aviation safety and worker's rights. For this, she will pay a heavy toll. She meets a federal NTSB officer who becomes her partner in research and who becomes her love interest. Topics of single parenthood; love and betrayal; the highly questionable, repetitive and unwarranted mis-use of psychiatric evaluation; violence within the workplace; misogyny within the airline industry and worker's rights run through the thread of 'Clearing the Air'. Areas of practice within the U.S. airline industry including the autocratic rule of captain's authority and Tombstone Philosophy are also challenged as contributive to the pathological corporate culture within the airlines. A later case of failed crew resource management (CRM) enters into the story along with what seems to be a set-up of circumstances that leads to Greta's removal from her nearly thirty year career. The story hails the necessary prioritization of flight safety and airline personnel rights over marketing and the almighty profit. Volume 2 examines the wrongful termination of Greta with a replication of the case, Greta Anderson vs. American Airlines. This is a story of triumph over adversity. 'Clearing the Air' exalts the long overdue respect and appreciation of cabin crew members to whom these two books are dedicated.
