It is reasonable, but totally overshadowed by the fact that airlines used to have hard caps on age and explicitly hired for looks, both of which got legislated away.

Which is a good thing, it's fucked up to believe otherwise.

:yes: Seriously.  You can't have sex with them, you can't even masturbate while looking at them without getting a long and threatening lecture, so what exactly is the point of having stewardesses all at 10?

Did any of you see Pan Am, which was basically about air stewardesses in the early 60s? Not surprised, it was crap. But the first episode showed them turning up for regular weighing, measuring and grooming inspections. The actresses had to wear longline bras and girdles to get the right shape and posture.

Yeah, saw the first two or so episodes.  Only moderate whacking material.

According to friends of mine who working in tourism, being part of the cabin crew (pilots + hostesses) is absolute poison for stable relationships. All the older pilots they knew were in their 3rd or 4th marriages, and pilots and hostesses bed each other like crazy.

I can imagine.  The couple we know (as well as a couple ex-ComAir people I know) worked in administrative/management type jobs rather than in the flight crew, but they've told similar stories.

What, pilots have egos big enough to have libidos like bunny wabbits?  Shocking.

According to my friends, both quite attractive women, pilots will hit on anything with two X cromosomes that they encounter.

You're on a trip someplace where you're staying at a hotel for the night, they are doing the same thing, in the same place as you. Everybody's looking for a good time. You get to see them and chat them up before they land and get off work for the evening. It's a logistical perfect storm.

That would require DGuller to be charming and sexy.  That is a rather tall order.

The Delta flight crew for Bengals charter flights are fun to hang with.  No hanky panky, of course.
