It got me thinking...when I was a kid and mom and I would fly to the east coast, flight attendants were just the coolest people, I thought. Of course back in the day they were stewardesses. In their fancy uniforms with hair and makeup perfect as they walked up and down serving us actual food while wearing heels, I just thought they were like movie stars.
We lost several on 9/11 and now their counterparts are dealing with assholes who want to make a big todo over wearing a mask on the plane. Their job was always the safety and comfort of the passengers. I really don't know why anyone would want that as a job any more with all the risks.
And given the remuneration. They have a very stressful and responsible job but get paid peanuts, comparatively.
