My first experience with computers was with Delta Airlines in the 1980s. They had a state-of-the-art reservation system which required linked computers so that a ticket agent in San Diego could book seat 14A where a ticket agent booking the same flight in Boston would instantly see 14A change color from black to red (booked) on his computer and offer his customer 14B or 15A instead.

I miss the stewardesses. I used to like when they were called that. Flight attendant doesn't have the same ring. Also, maybe I'm just being a neanderthal and a sexist, but male flight attendants always seem a bit light in the loafers if you know what I mean. It's really a woman's job. Not that women can't fly the plane if they want to get a pilot's license. Nothing wrong with a woman pilot. But stewardessing is a women's job. You want to see a woman walking up and down those aisles, dispensing those little airplane bottles of liquor and showing us how to use the oxygen mask pre-flight.
