Believe it or not there was a glamour time in commercial aviation. Alas, today, it is all gone, reduced to the bottom line of corporate balance sheets, AND, the desire of the traveling public to get there cheap (but, they still want all the amenities of the old days).

Wow, by looking at these pictures, it appears that their goal was to sell you the flight attendant as the primary goal, and the flight itself as 2nd priority.

It makes me wonder, as PC as we think we are today, how 40 years from now they will look at us.

Simply AWEFUL garbage photography... women fly planes, not dress up like Austin Powers fembots and serve duty free drinks on them. If you're not flying combat, you're not flying.

"What happened to the good old days when stewardesses had to wear short skirts and smile "

Yeah it's so much better nowadays now that we have fat ugly chicks with attitude as stewardesses. Thank god we don't have to deal with those thin cuties who smile anymore!

Better looking than many of today's so called supermodels

A few curves is better than seeing ribs, for sure

Some of those chicks are serious hunnies, why are stewardesses wearing frocks and semi-gowns these days? Men are still men - BRING BACK THE STEWARDESS MINI'S! =D

You should take a look around Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. The rest of the world still realizes that, like models, stewardesses have a definite expiration date and don't let them hang around until their fifties like the bitchy old broads you see on Northwest.

Oh, what memories! I was a flight attendant for Western Airlines back in the day. Our uniforms weren't designed by Pucci, oh, but the job was wonderful! It's not like that anymore.

I lived in southeast asia in the '60s. For in-flight entertainment the flight attendants on Thai Airways used to give a style show. Sometimes they wore bikinis.

Ah the good old days. When even college educated women were willing to be treated like servants and sex objects.

I LOVE these stewardesses!! Awesome! :)

there’s no uniform sexier than the one-piece mini-dress and off-kilter cap, especially when set off by go-go boots.

2007-02-26T03:48:00.000-08:00

The change in flight in American has nothing to do with unions and everything to do with the 1976 deregulation of the industry. And it's obvious from the average ticket prices since then, quality problems aside, that deregulation was (as it nearly always is) the right thing to do.

What happened to flight in America?

Unions.

Curse those unions for making it so that women over 35, those not blessed with model looks, and even some men can work as flight attendants!

What happened to the good old days when stewardesses had to wear short skirts and smile while they were groped and otherwise sexually harassed by businessmen the age of their fathers who reeked of cigarette smoke?

The jet engines were better-engineered then, and could suck in up to three stewardesses without wiping blades.
