Oh, for the old days when stewardesses wore hotpants and miniskirts and were gorgeous. Lately, I’ve seen a lot of gay stewards among the not-so-hot ordinary attendants. Nothing wrong with that as long as service is okay. But I miss the old days.
The airlines are like everything else.
Look at gas stations 50 years ago. Total service, windows cleaned, oil and tires check, and from people who spoke English.
Gimme a bucks worth or regular!

Uh,uh. In the old days they wore trim uniforms with skirts, high heels,were nurses,and were gorgeous.

Back in the day when we were “coffee, tea or me” gals - as the line went back then - we weighed in before every flight and had a complete wardrobe inspection. Was gone before the hot pants and/or miniskirts hit the scene - but did fly once on a local California airline where hot pants were the uniform of the day. Fortunately every attendant on our flight looked great in them.
We were young, trim, single, ever smiling, wonderful hostesses and glad to welcome fliers aboard. Most flight attendants today IMO are way too old, too bossy, most often weigh too much and have little sense of how to be a gracious hostess. But then air travel today bears little resemblance to what it was in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.
Yeah, I’d be more tempted to fly more if the airlines used hot straight male attendants, strong enough to ward off terrorists. ;)
