And, what pray tell is a "stewardess" - WHO ARE YOU? Have you even FLOWN as a passenger in the past 20 years? There is no such thing as a "stewardess" and hasn't been for 25 years.

Everybody knows what a stewardess is. Drop the PC garbage.

Everybody knows what a stewardess is. Drop the PC garbage.

Actually, the demise of the "stewardess" predates PC. There was a redefining of the role in the late 70s and early 80s that the FAA initiated which reemphasized safety vs. service. It was not simply the gender issue. Flight Attendants' role is primarily safety and it is not considered lightly by the FAA or the airlines.
