"The Good Old Days"

I would much prefer to have fewer but better jobs.

As long as you're the one left with the "better" job.

Seniority

As long as you're the one left with the "better" job.

that normally will go to the senior pilots

So I guess the guy above with 3,000 hours who wants fewer but better jobs will be out. Just wanted to make sure I understood his position on the matter.

Hey I will go out no problem. I have ditiched a few jobs that I did not think were worth having.

Oh please. A bunch of old farts talking about how great things used to be. LOL

Maybe some of us on this message board don't appreciate the sexual objectification of woman you seem so proud of. We're soooo sorry that flight attendants are not thin enough for you. We're soooo sorry that you are too old to drool over them anymore. Plus, how come the best flight attendants that I ever have are gay guys then??

Things are much better now than they were back then when you old guys were sexually harrassing your crew.

Agreed. One has to question those who get nostalgic about treating women as a second class citizen. Hey, I appreciate a beautiful flight attendant as much as the next guy. However, they're not here for our viewing pleasure. An FA's looks has absolutely ZERO to do with their job.

Thanks for taking an ugly one off the market for us.

The original idea of putting a young attractive female (mostly nurses) on a plane was to help calm the scared sh!tless all male business passengers. We are talking the DC-3 days, no pressurization, loud, and always stuck in the weather. The rationale was, "if this young women isn't scared, why should I be?"

I don't care so much for the present, but in reality, the past was no great place to be either. We romanticize it too much. Look to the future, and try to make it better.

Thankfully, we have gotten away from that philosophy......at least, most of us have.

When
the clacker went off no one got all tight and scared because
Boeing built it out of iron, nothing was going to fall off
and that sound had the same effect on real pilots then as
Viagra does now for those new age guys.

Oh man...
That's my new favorite quote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
