Great title, Gerri Garrick! This sounds like an exciting story!
I think your logline needs a little work. I have three suggestions:
#1) I think your logline needs the inciting incident (how they got stuck in the past).
#2) I suggest changing "must work with her sister, an uptight executive" to "must work with her uptight executive sister."
#3) Mention what they have to save Amelia Earhart from.
So, something like: "After being sucked into the past, a flighty free-spirit must work with her uptight executive sister to save Amelia Earhart from ______ or be stuck in _____ (the year of the story) forever."
Or: "A flighty free-spirit must work with her uptight executive sister to save Amelia Earhart from ______ or be stuck in _____ (the year of the story) forever."
You're welcome, Gerri Garrick. I like that. So, "After being sucked into the past, a flighty free-spirit must work with her uptight executive sister to save Amelia Earhart from dying on that infamous flight or be stuck in 1937 forever."
I put "infamous flight" instead of "infamous fatal flight" because the logline already has "save Amelia Earhart from dying on," so we know the flight was fatal.
I like your logline, @Gerri Garrick! I don't think you need a comma after "sister" though (since you have a comma after "fate," which I think you put so whoever reads your logline won't get winded).
