Are Flight Attendants one of the most useless professions?

Do we really need someone to point and show us where the emergency exits and lavatories are on the airplane or to bring us pretzel packets and water? They do a poor job of it anyway because it’s confusing as to what they are pointing at.

I feel like this profession will be phased out as automation and robotics become more prevalent.

The good ones probably save considerable time moving the slow pokes and infrequent flyers along

Couldn't they just leave an ice chest by the cockpit and you just grab whatever the frick you want on the way in?

They have a use but it’s not to the extent that most stewardesses think they do.

Have you seen people in this country walk down a grocery aisle?

Flight attendants are essential to get the flight to leave IMO.

Have you been on a flight lately? You absolutely need flight attendants there to explain to "adults" how to act on a plane.

I swear, i don't understand how so many people are flying on a daily basis. The only thing that rivals the lack of proper hygiene and decorum in a public setting than in an airport/flight is wal mart.

who do you think the passengers are going to nag with no attendant there? who's gonna babysit the grown ups that act like children? I don't think you've thought this through.

Definitely not, but the Cat Rancher's and limp wristers ruin the flight

I wouldn’t know. It’s usually just myself and the pilots aboard my fleet.

this is true, in long flights they actually serve a purpose to serve you food and drinks over those several hour flights

in most cases regional flights they are there as glorified messenger service to say if the plane is late or you are about to crash
