View from the Top is a 2003 film directed by Bruno Barreto.

Donna is a girl from a small town who wishes to get out of it and see the world. She reads a book by Sally Weston, a flight attendant who has flown to practically everywhere and decides to become a flight attendant at a small commuter airline.

After gaining a little experience, Donna decides to apply to a major airline. She convinces her two co-workers, Sherry and Christine, to join her. While Christine and Donna get in, Sherry does not. Donna puts her heart and soul into the new position, and after meeting her idol Sally Weston, she is determined to be assigned to an international route.

Alas, when the assignments are posted, Donna is shocked to discover that she has been assigned to a commuter route in Cleveland. While she feels that her dreams have been dashed, she does meet her dream guy - Ted. However, deciding to fight for what she wants means deciding between him and her career.
