I promise that this is the first and last time that I’ll write about this person, but I feel like someone needs to be the voice of reason here, given the amount of coverage her content gets, and just how baselessly sensationalized it is…
In this post:
Cierra Mistt, the viral “flight attendant” persona
There’s a woman who goes by the name Cierra Mistt on social media. She has 3+ million followers on TikTok, 500K+ followers on Instagram, etc. So she’s widely followed.
Essentially, her shtick is that she’s a “flight attendant,” and that she spills all the “sexy” insider secrets of the industry. So her social media videos go viral, because she claims to expose all of the details of what really goes on in the industry, from pilots and flight attendants joining the mile high club, to what really happens on layovers.
To my knowledge, she briefly worked for Republic Airways (a regional airline that operates flights on behalf of major carriers) in 2021 through 2022, and that was her only stint as a commercial flight attendant. She was reportedly fired based on her social media content.
Obviously I don’t know what her intent was, but it sure seems like she became a flight attendant almost with the intent of exploiting the side hustle of exposing the “sexy” side of it. That’s because that’s the extent of her content (except when she talks about how her husband cheated with their nanny, and stuff like that… which I guess is along the same lines).
One of her latest videos is her “confessing” that pilots and flight attendants have sex in the flight deck during the flight. For example, The New York Post covered this, and the idea is basically that in the United States, there always have to be two people in the flight deck, so when one pilot goes to use the bathroom or stretch their legs, a flight attendant enters the flight deck, and sometimes they have sex.
The claim is that pilots and flight attendants follow three strict rules when carrying this out:
- “Make sure you work with a crew that you can trust, also know your plan”
- “You pick a flight that you know has a route that’s normally a smooth ride”
- “Once you have those two things, the third one is super easy — have one pilot come out and one flight attendant go in”
This is just ridiculous, especially the part about “pick a flight that you know has a route that’s normally a smooth ride.” Lol. “Hey Joe, let’s join the mile high club, and coordinate schedules. What regional jet route is going to be smooth next month?”
I also love how the story refers to her as “an experienced air hostess.” Yes, super experienced! And “air hostess?” Is it 1970? Then again, I kind of feel like AI might just be writing these stories?
“While frequent flyers are sitting back and enjoying the ride, freaky wingmen are too. This, according an in-flight insider, who claims captains and cabin crew members secretly have sex in the sky.”
Her flight attendant secrets don’t reflect reality
This woman is a smart entrepreneur, and she’s clearly doing this all with a specific purpose:
- She knows the general public’s interest in the concept of the mile high club, plus the intrigue people have with “insider” airline secrets
- She has an OnlyFans, and all of her social media content is intended to drive people there; there seems to be quite a bit of hardcore content there, which has little to do with the airline industry
I commend people who make a living on OnlyFans, and I think there’s nothing wrong with it (as long as they’re doing it voluntarily, consider the full implications, etc.). So I don’t at all knock her for building this business.
That being said, because of this, you have to view her social media content as being intended to create scandal, rather than actually reflecting reality. Like, do flight attendants and pilots sometimes join the mile high club? Yes, but very, very rarely, based on my understanding, especially in the flight deck.
The problem is that this is then reported as if it’s totally commonplace, and that this is what a large percentage of flight attendants and pilots are doing.
Like, there are also some pilots who have been charged with murder, child abuse, etc. That doesn’t mean we somehow extrapolate from this that pilots are murderers and child abusers. Because like any profession, there are bad apples.
Fundamentally, the issue here isn’t the OnlyFans niche she has chosen to carve out, but instead, passing along her claims as if they’re somehow insider secrets that reflect reality. The airline industry has an incredible focus on safety, and when we report these claims as if they reflect reality in any sort of a consistent way, it undermines the faith that people have in the system.
Bottom line
One savvy entrepreneur has made a living and gained a big following by exposing airline secrets, based largely on her roughly one year stint as a regional jet flight attendant. She had sexual content from the very beginning, so it almost seems like she became a flight attendant specifically to exploit this angle.
From a business perspective, I of course can’t blame her, and I’m sure she’s making a lot more through her OnlyFans than she made as a flight attendant. At the same time, you have to take everything she claims with a grain of salt.
Don’t read much into her claims — sure, sometimes there’s sexual stuff that happens in the airline industry, but it’s far from the norm. That’s important to understand, given the increasing concern there is among the traveling public when it comes to aviation safety.
Again, I promise that’s my first and last post about her, so I’ll see myself out…
Ladies and Gents, your Captain speaking
Let me explain what is technically possible and what is not:
(1) Short haul aircraft (A320, B737) has no designated crew rest area, so that is total fake
(2) Long haul Aircraft with designed crew rest on the same level as main cabin (A330 & similar), flying long haul with augmented/double crew: theoretically doable but risks are high. Not many people in possession of valid Medical would...

(2) Long haul Aircraft with designed crew rest on the same level as main cabin (A330 & similar), flying long haul with augmented/double crew: theoretically doable but risks are high. Not many people in possession of valid Medical would do it
(3) long haul aircraft with crew rest area on different level than main Cabin (777, some A340s, possibly A380s) with double/augmented crew : generally doable in some exceptional cases (e.g. in major flag carriers, not so many CC would risk their reputation & salary as rumors spread fast and downgrades to economy happen immediately)
In French, air hostess and stewart (hôtesse de l'air, stewart) are in common use. And we don't live in the 1970.
We just didn't feel the need to rename everything on a non-gendered basis...
In France they are called Personnel Navigant Commercial (PNC).
I get, this is aviation related and you want to address the misinformation being spread. But, people that read this blog don’t believe a word she says and people that believe her don’t read this blog.
Why give her more exposure than she already gets. Its like by arguing with a flat earther, you give them legitimacy. Why do it.
Exactly, I was thinking to myself, would regular readers of this blog even follow such a person, let alone believe such a person?
She is an ugly dog who was fired because she was not good at anything she did
“Spicy” OnlyFans Flight Attendant: The Problem With Her Content". The problem with her content is it's just low budget crap. End post.
Her real name is “Densum”
Social media has a lot of wrong info. For example, it's very popular to bash American health care and say how great it is in Europe despite it being far more complex, such as many Americans not having problems or America's lower cancer death rate. Or how great Canada is, forgetting prices are higher and income is lower.
I’ve lived in the UK and the USA and I’ve worked in the health systems of both. In the UK healthcare is zero cost at the point of use AND outcomes are better. Facts.
No. Just no.
To fight anecdote with anecdote, my dad would be dead if he lived in the UK, as the cancer treatment that saved his life is not available there.
Not that I’m a fan of the US healthcare system…
Dead wrong and a flat out lie. My best friend was British and always came here for health care and insisted his family do the same because the health care was far superior.
I lived in the UK for almost five years and was appalled at how bad the care was.
Finally the best friend referenced above also died, in Britain, of Mercer at a supposedly sterile NHS facility. He was only 57 and had...

There's a reason thousands of Brits and Canadians come to the US for health care every year.
Turn of the Faux Noise Network, "derek".
Has she started providing links for credit card offers, yet?
“Grain of salt”??? How about 110 lbs/50kg of salt!
Hey, baby, they're putting us up in a hotel right by the airport, but why wait the 50 minutes it will take us to reach Houston when we have this cramped, somewhat private place right here?
I’m in the fact of this article didn’t talk about the reality that she now owns the Sierra Mist trademark and made Pepsi change their soda named is also big not on her belt.
Completely fake news.
Absolute fake news.
Ugh can we get back to the boring stuff? Like how the entrance to AA Flagship DFW moved from shared entrance with Cap1 to its own?
Thanks for promising this in the first/last. Crazy how dumb media outlets are with her.
Let’s be clear, she’s not a spicy social media, influencer or content creator. She does explicit, hardcore pornography. At this point, I’m actually surprised the airline that formally employed her hasn’t filed a lawsuit for portraying them and their employees in a false light.
this would never happen on Delta™
But of course, only the DL premium crews use the premium lavs for their frequent premium trysts !
@Dim Tunn:
> this would never happen on Delta.
Neither would cleanliness, customer service, prompt departure, no gate checking with open overhead storage, or a polite cabin crew. But hey, I generalize. Likely some 2-5% of Delta flights DO have some of these "amenities."
But an FA with squirrels over her eyes talking about sex on the flight deck -- next time you board an airliner with an open door note how the seats...

But an FA with squirrels over her eyes talking about sex on the flight deck -- next time you board an airliner with an open door note how the seats move forward and back so the pilots can BARELY get in. You couldn't have sex in there any more than Ron Jeremy could in a 1970s lav.
If you want to join the Mile High Club™ book a room at Denver's Rally Hotel. They have "Mile High" packages.
Or if you would like to ---- a fugly former FA, well, OnlyFans is one click away. (Yeah, I left off the rest of the URL so it's really two clicks.)
