Why are stewardesses now called “flight attendants”? “Steward” and “stewardess” connote care and responsibility, while “flight attendant” has the same ring to it as “gas station attendant.”

Why are stewardesses now called “flight attendants”? “Steward” and “stewardess” connote care and responsibility, while “flight attendant” has the same ring to it as “gas station attendant.”

The "servant leader" in this story should have instructed the passengers to refer to the stewardesses as his "handmaidens."

And the stewards could have been his "vassals."
