Flight attendants' retirement age debate (historic)

[bonlondon]

I still call them stewardesses (I am old)                                                                                     

Flight attendants are the gay guys of which it appears to be about 80% of the males         

The straight guys that I knew that are FA got more stewardess action than the pilots         

In my younger years stewardesses were a lot of fun ....particularly Southwest in the 70s and 80s!

Probably very politically incorrect these days, but:

Sure there are quite a few gay FA's, I know many....but I don't believe that percentage to be true at all!

 

Yes some male FA's I knew/know did quite well with female FA's....I know I did! 555

 

 The world's first FA was male, he was onboard and survived the Hindenburg.

I think I flew with my friend who was United FA on 5 trips - was great because we were upgraded 3x and all 5 trips we had unlimited supply of beer

This was in the 2000s - probably cannot do this now

I fly through SFO usually so that is basis for my 80% ....maybe too high
