Before they became "Flight Attendants" they were known as "Stewardesses".... oh yeah!

Yes and hot damn. J.Floyd Andrews knew what he was doing when he hired the hot honeys for PSA. I flew for PSA in 1969 and loved every minute of them. It was party time. wheeeeew

Dear Lord: Please let someone start an airline with this mentality to rescue us from the idiocy we currently have. Amen.

I worked for Poor Sailor Airline (PSA) for 4 days and also loved every minute of it. :)

While we were interviewing, a bunch of 'stew' candidates were also present. When it came time to screen 'Stew' applicants ... they lined them up in the hall and walked the line w/ a flashlight in hand. When placed to the applicant's ear -- if the light did NOT shine through onto the wall -- she was hired.

But for the record: they were all 8's to 10's ... I would have drunk the bath water of the rejects ...

Yes- and it showed in the field too. The few times I observed the whole interaction among the flight crew before and after those 70's PSA flights was awe inspiring. Those long legged early 20 year old cuties used to treat the pilot's like their own Hugh Hefner. High flirt factors and huge smiles. The whole miniskirt and knee boots thing was amazing as well.

The only time I ever flew PSA I was a kid -- probably 7 or 8 years old. I wish I had some recollection of the stews, but at the time I was more concerned with the impending trip to Disneyland.

Apparently the pilots were about to go to Disneyland, too!

Oh yeah, you're right. I'm all for being comfortable, but pajamas were never in the acceptable category of traveling attire when I was brought up. My wife thinks I'm crazy for wearing a sport coat or suit sans tie when I travel, but the difference in how you're often treated is astonishing.

I always dress up a bit for the airlines as well. It's amazing how much better the world treats you when you look like give a crap.

Uniforms? Leave it for the boys coming home from the war. They deserve and need the handshakes and free beers more than me.

Ask me about ninjas!
You mean the grunge/goth/teenage angst look doesn't work? Looks like all those ripped jeans, studded leather, and eyeliner are going back then.

Also, mouth breathing fat chicks in victoria's secret sweatpants should stay the hell home and suck on some mint chocolate chip. I don't want to see it.

This is truth on both counts: read & heed and the world will love you.

Or if not 'love', it will at least have a modicum of respect for you ... and you ->-> for yourself.

My PCS flight over to Germany was on Lufthansa.... Beer on the plane, and way better than decent looking FA's. I woke up in the middle of the flight to one bent ass in front of my face across me shutting the window shade and I thought I was still dreaming.

I think I changed into civilian clothes at the first bathroom I saw in DFW while coming home on R&R. I must say, feeling human again was probably better than 100 free beers.

I once made the mistake of calling a flight attendant a stewardesses. I'm not the most pc conscientious person. He got pissed ( I didn't call him that, I was referring to a female flight attendant I had spoken to earlier about moving my seat away from a crying, kicking baby with asshole parents). I received horrible service for the duration of the flight.

I think "Steward" and "Stewardess" are totally acceptable... the dictionary definition certainly agrees: "steward
1 a person who looks after the passengers on a ship, aircraft, or train and brings them meals."

Same holds for "Stewardess."
