Southwest lost a huge lawsuit in SCOTUS and had to hire fatties and men and old women to be stewardesses.

Literally the issue was if “being female and reasonably attractive” was a legitimate job qualification.

The court said “no”.

Been downhill ever since.

Such a shame, I remember those days.
The stewardesses were first class!
