He's referring to your lack of political correctness in the use of the word "stewardess". The official nomenclature is..."Flight Attendant". Don't you feel awful?

Oh, okay. I get you. I was wondering what he was blabbing about. He's probably one of those people who call garbagemen "sanitation workers" and short-order cooks "food technicians." The problem with this is that in another ten years, those terms will be "insulting" so we'll have to make up even more glorified titles. I prefer to just call people what they are. What's so bad about being a stewardess or a garbageman? It's honest work.

I'm an aeronautical engineer by training who flew satellites with USAF at AFSCF in Sunnvale, I have a brother who's a pilot of United, and a sister who's an ..ahem.. Flight Attendant for American. I chuckle at everything you're all saying - because I've heard all these arguments in my own family - and all points (so far) are dead on.
