“The Secret Life Of Virgins”: Flight Attendant’s Photos Show Life In A Virgin America Crew

Molly Choma of Portland, Oregon, has spent nearly a decade working as a flight attendant on Virgin America planes. In addition to her work in the skies, Choma is also a talented photographer. Her series The Secret Life of Virgins is a look at life in Virgin America flight crews.

Virgin America will no longer exist by 2019, and Choma has since been recruited by Virgin America to document the airline’s culture before it goes extinct.

“I just wanted to preserve it, not necessarily for the public, but for my friends and people like me who grew up with Virgin America,” Choma tells Travel + Leisure. “Whether that’s people who were there since the start or only for the past six months, I wanted something to immortalize what we have.”
