Enjoy yourselves, guys! I don't get it, honestly ... I find flying so unpleasant that I instinctively correlate "stewardess" with "nausea."
If it wasn't for the potential for hottie stewardesses there would be nothing pleasant about flying.
Notice there are no US carriers.
American stewardesses cannot be called stewardesses. They are flight attendents. Many are male. The women are often old or not slim.
It just makes me miss TWA that much more.....sigh...
Unfortunately so. I blame the unions for this travesty.
ANd Hooters Air went TU a couple months back. :(
Is the plural form of stewardess, "Stewardi"?
Perhaps. But they need to get rid of the flight attendent label and quit hiring dudes.
It seems a small compensation, especially since "security" beefed up (but can't manage to exclude young Saudi guys).
What's pleasant about flying is that it gets you to your destination lots faster than driving.
Asiana and KAL have some lookers.
I've been on some pleasant flights. Seeing the snow covered Cascade mountains or Wasatch mountains is worthwhile, as long as you don't have someone smelly next to you yakking your ear off.
"Pleasant" to me means I make it through takeoff and landing without a spew. I'd love to see the snow covered Cascades from a car, though ... or on TV!
Dallas is a part of the US.
#3 Southwest
Try to avoid Frontier. Lotsa poofers.
Women fly too.
True. But I'm willing to bet most women prefer attractive females instead of gay male stewardesses.
Definitely not United. And definitely not Southwest.
Flying is still pretty incredible. They just need to try to make the plane more comfortable and enjoyable...hence the hotties.
That depends. I was planning to fly from Boston to NYC the day after tomorrow. But between the new nuttiness at the airports and the fact that nobody has figured out how to get to Logan Airport since the tunnel closed, I'm driving.
All told, when one considers the inconvenience and waiting time, it's faster to drive, which is what I'll be doing.
