PC question (Politically Correctness) -
06-08-2004, 06:07 PM
when did a stewardess become a "flight technician" ? A "good" friend of mine just announced (among other things) that he was becoming one. Is it wrong to refer to them still as "stewardesses" or will i get some girlie civil rights speech ?
your answers valued.

Stewardess, Flight Attendants, same thing. I dont know who changed it, but stuff like that gets changed all the time. Its also meant to make a persons job sound more important. Data Entry = Data Coordinator. Mechanic = automobile service technician.

I thought male flight attendants were called either that or stewards.
