Amazing!

Hey you age racist people. I rather fly with experienced crew than with these Chewingum-iPhone-Facebook-Instagram generation wanna-be FA`s. Good that long-haul aircrafts are big and all wanna-be`s can stay in Y and experienced FA`s with style in F and C.

Why does everyone automatically assume he can't do the job.I have see overweight pilots and flight attendants that couldn't get out of a revolving door without gps or a guide dog. Is this the only area where discrimination is encouraged.He looks great and should sue for age discrimination or maybe waddle when he walks through the cabin.

Flew with Bob back in 1968 - 1976 and he would put on a new shirt at least once a flight to be fresh for the First Class Service. Hard worker and I heard he made 6-figures with SS and the best Purser routes with that extra pay. Great guy that never married so that shows he was smart too.

I beg to differ! I work for Delta as a pilot. The flight attendants have recurrent training every nine months under the AQP (advanced qualification program). They must pass every test or they are subject to more training or finding another job. Just like the pilots.
