That's a very common misconception. There are actually no flight attendants on Ryanair flights. There is a little trap door in the flight deck that leads to the back of the plane and one of the pilots crawls down after take off and puts on the stewardesses uniform and serves drinks. That's why they rush so much when the aircraft's about to land, he/she has to get back in their seat for landing! Another fantastic money saving procedure!

As is landing with one engine like a Ryanair 737 with 111pax did at Sturup Malmo, Sweden on Monday. Not that that has anything to do with stewardesses.

;)

(I'm only kidding, Ryanair are very professional)

Another common misconception here.. they dont "serve" drinks as such.. :p You pay extortionate rates for millilitres of liquid.. :)
 
Aeromexico! :D ;)

They really do discriminate in Mexico, but that's Mexico and not the politically-correct-sue-happy USA.

Oh, and the free food and drinks being servered by hot chicas, oye mija! :D

Nice thing about flying in Mexico, you can smoke in the terminals (in the smoking sections). Chicas working at the airports tend to be hot too.
 
This thread makes me think about Hooters airline...anyone know anything about it? I read about it existing somewhere but can't put my finger on it, and I couldn't possible do a google search. :p
 
Maybe I'm in the minority here because I've seen no evidence that female flight attendants are any prettier than the general population. (I assume we're talking only about physical appearance here.) Of all the flight attendants I've seen (almost all U.S. airlines), maybe 20% were better than average-looking. I've been far more likely to be seated near a pretty passenger than a flight attendant.

The only exception I can think of a was an international flight on KLM. I don't normally go for blonds, but all of them were blond and all of them were tall, and at least half of them were attractive. Maybe I need a trip to Holland.
 
I'm with aloofman... seriously, most of the stewardesses I've seen have been normal looking, usually a little too much make up, not really out of proportion with the normal population... :confused:

Would all depend on her personality ... :eek:

Of course she may be a little annoyed with you for trying to foist her off on the Mac Geeks. :p

...and there were 3 stewardesses, and 1 steward (ie: "male stewardess"). One of them was H.O.T., one was pretty/cute, and the other was above average...

You left one out - I am presuming it was the "male stewardess"? Or not....mmm?

I am gay but do not consider myself 'noticeably gay' but a straight friend and I were flying together and a female flight attendant was all over me. And she was hot. My friend was so pissed that I was getting the attention - so when the flight attendant was serving me a drink my friend happened to ask how my boyfriend was - loud enough for the flight attendant to hear - I knew he was doing it on purpoe and all in good fun, so I answered that he was fine. The flight attendant gave me a smile and a double-shot in my drink. We were in economy class, and a few minutes later the flight attendant came back and gave us each a business class toiletry pack. Well, the service and attention remained top class for the whole flight.

Toward the end of the flight I had to use the lavatory. While I was waiting the attendant came over and asked how the flight was and if I needed anything. I had to ask her why she was giving me and my friend that little bit of extra attention. Bottom line, she said she feels uncomfortable with a lot of the male passengers - they are not rude but there is often sexual innuendo and obvious ogling. I responded that she was very attractive and should take the attention as a compliment (I mean straight guys do thing about sex every 6 seconds, right...well gay guys think about it all the time!). She was not offended by my comment, she was quite happy - I guess being called attractive by a gay guy is a good thing? - but said she worked hard to keep her looks (gym, diet, etc) and even harder to perform her job to the best of her ability and that in any other work environment such attention as she got from male passengers could be considered sexual harassment.

I never thought of it that way - and I think we should keep this in mind when talking about all people we meet - be it on an airline, at a bank or any other service industry (and no not that service....)

BTW - I wonder if 1 out of 10 male flight attendants is gay - you know, to make the gay passengers buy more drinks and duty-free!

Something I've wondered for a while...you say she was 'HOT', now I've always wondered (being a straight guy), how gay guys judge how hot a woman is, because, speaking honestly, I can tell "good looking" men from ugly men, but I don't understand how to judge who is "hot" other than hearing it from my female friends. (None of my friends are openly gay so I have no basis there...:eek: )

I would have to agree here. I have a few gay friends but we have never people-watched to the point where they have said some guy is 'hot'. I have heard girlfriends of mine say guys are hot, but I can never tell the difference between a handsome man and a 'hot' man. I admit some me are ugly, some normal, and some handsome (which I guess is my speak for hot :confused: ) but the ones I deem handsome are not the ones my girlfriends say are hot...what gives? What makes a guy attractive to a woman or gay guy? Are the same qualities attractive to both women and gay men?

Lacero, awesome pic as usual I definitely want to fly that airline :D

Yeah, 'Hot' is subjective - regarless of which sex you are assesing. Describing 'Hot' is difficult but here goes from a gay guys perspective - a hot woman is a woman with well maintained physical appearance. Make-up suttle but highlights her features. I like shoulder to mid back length hair on women - short hair is for military guys (but that is a topic for another thread!). Even being gay I am appreciative of a womans figure. I don't like big breasts (aka Hooters) but smaller breasts don't really add to a figure. I don't mind if a woman is 'over-weight' but a good physical balance is important. Bulging out over teh belt line on a pair of jeans is not pertty thing, but a suttle set of love handels is not bad. A woman must dress to please herself - not her friennd or wear what she thinks a guy would like a woman to wear. If she is not comfortable in her clothes then her confidence suffers in my opinion (same for anyone - wear what you like and be proud of your appearance). I don't like overly tanned woman, it can look fake, but a nice even colouring is important. I love big smiles (ie Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman - boy was Tom Cruise an idiot to divorce her)

Wow...I think I might be a closet hetrosexual!


Take the above, remove the make-up, hair length and breasts and you have yourself my definition of a hot man!

We went through this before...

Some MR members like Doritos, some Cheetos -- but no matter what, the females will be covered in cheesy MR handprints if they come in range.

With all the extra silicone in the attandants upper chest areas I think the baggage weight restriction is the worst of any airline....
:p

It puts the lotion in the basket

Or as floatation devices in the case of a water landing!

And why do they call it a 'water landing'? I am sure that planes are not meant to land on water (excluding seaplanes of course). I think 'water landing' is airline speak for 'rapid uncontrolled decent into the ocean'

I don't want sound too insensitive but they don't call it 'into the side of a mountain landing' do they?

SunBaked truly lives on Seedy Street. Leave the light on next time your home, sounds like a place I'd like to hang out ....

Re: Gay or straight judging how hot a woman or man is... I see it as an aesthetic question, and regardless of sexual orientation, asesthetically speaking anyone can understand beauty. Wether it's a Monet or a stewardess.... it's all aesthetics man.

Re: Hooters airline,,,god bless them.

I guess it better than calling it "kiss your arse goodbye landing" or "engraved into the mountain landing"

I understand who is good looking, but I think most straight men here can agree with me in saying that there is something much stronger than "Hey, she really is pretty," that hits you when a really hot woman walks by...which I've never experienced when a man has walked by. Same with gay men? I'm confused...

On another note, I think that at least 50% of the appearance of attractiveness comes from the appearance that you are comfortable with your appearance and that you have taken the time to care for the way you look.

Titty-floatation devices would rock, I'd pay for that....I do pay for that :eek: :(

They don't call it a crash-into-mountainside landing, so I suppose water-landing is a little softened. There really is only one landing for the standard passenger plane then, a basic runway-landing....a 'landing' I suppose ;) So back to those floatation devices.....

:cool:

Thank you. And I care little about their looks. They are there for my safety first, comfort second.

The best flight attendants I have had have been those over 35, maybe even 40. I don't care to look at a potential SI swimsuit model, or International Male model while flying. What matters to me is will they keep their cool when the going gets rough.
