I found Cassie so infuriating. I know her behavior moved the story forward, but wow it was tough to get through all her completely irrational and destructive decisions. I felt it gave an interesting view on flight attendants, but not one that was super realistic. Not sure why she’s so dirt poor when she’s senior and flying internationally. I think the story was interesting, but I think it could have been told in a more gripping way.
