• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Shocking, isn't?

Read in British "Flight" magazine, April 18, 1935, under "Commercial Aviation" column;

"Swissair services have been operating with considerable success and the "Douglas" seems popular. Stewardesses add a new and cheerful note to European travel, though it is doubtful if the idea will spread. Illogically, perhaps, we associate male waiters with first-class service, in this country at least."

Of course, the label "flight attendant" was still to be invented...:kilroy:
 
Nothing was thoroughly popular in its first days.
Just look at travel by rail. Warnings of "speed sickness" because of those awful 30kph, complaints about ash from the engine, etc...

Btw: I wonder if the job of a stewardess can be regarded as a symbol for the success of the female emancipation. They could order everyone around in an emergency after all... :d
