I don't see why. It has to be one of the easiest most overpaid jobs out there

You are paid to recognize and handle emergencies. When everything is working perfect yeah it's a relatively easy job although there are plenty of planes that have crashed with nothing mechanically wrong because the crew screwed up.

Beyond the skill required pilots are on the road half the month working long days that start at 4 AM in -20 degree weather in Saskatoon and ending at 6 PM in Tampa. It's easy to get worn down, and extremely tough on family life but yeah it looks great from the outside I guess.

Don't get your slacks in a bunch.

There should be a mandatory retirement age of 35 for flight attendants. Also a weight limit and they shouldn’t hire any males.

I think the rules now are, if you can walk down the aisle without bumping into every passenger with your arse that you get two years to fatten that arse up. After that, if you haven't reached full plumpness, you're cast out.
