Perhaps you weren't flying back in the '60s and '70s. It was an entirely different atmosphere. Stewardesses were all young, pretty, and single: once a girl was married or hit about 30, she was let go, although there were some mid-30's single women as senior stews for the international carriers. They all had college degrees and, for airlines that flew internationally, they had to be competent, if not fluent, in a foreign language. It was considered a plum job for young women, many of whom met their husbands through their jobs. They travelled extensivley, had plenty of layover days abroad, and mixed with the relatively wealthy, or at least upper middle class professional, people who flew. Some of the girls, fresh from the college sorority/fraternity party scene, like to party. And most of them, at least, would flirt. I flew fairly often as a student in the late '60s and early '70s, and I don't think I was ever on a flight that at least one stewardess didn't flirt. 99.9% of it was the innocent flirtation of young men and women, but sometimes it was more.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to make is sound like you were telling a story -- I started flying in the 70s and I remember some of that (I didn't fly much).

But, you have to admit that your post, with some details, would have made a great Penthouse Letter to the Editor with that same opening... ;)
