Since I'm a former airline pilot, a friend sent me this link, not knowing of my plans of looking outside the US for a spouse.

I didn't know where else to post this, so if the mods need to move it...

Safe For Work...but if attractive Asian women convert you to Ventricular Tachycardia, you might want to pass on clicking the link.

I love flying within China, it is a total joy. All of the planes are brand spanking new and not only are the flight attendants gorgeous but they are actually there to serve you (unlike on American carriers). The Chinese flight attendants are 'retired' once they turn 30 or if they gain a little too much weight so the onboard scenery is always nice ;)

Yeah definitely - Flying in China today is like it was in the US in the 60s and 70s: clean planes, attractive flight attendants, good service - Long gone here.

Anyone here remember PSA?

I remember flying from San Diego to LAX for $7 and LAX to SFO for $17

Back then they called them stewardesses:

Yes, 'Fly the Friendly Skies" no longer has nearly the same meaning in the USA for sure...


I hear that PAL prospective stewardesses really have to pass incredible scrutiny. They certainly don't have the same age and sex discrimination laws over there. The 'shelf life' of a stewardess, or even a mall sales lady isn't very long over there in the RP.
Whether you think you can or think you can't--you're right!

Oh yeah!

I remember back in the mid-late 60’s I used to fly PSA, LAX-SFO, for $12 on a propjet or $14 on a 727. Saving $2 for an additional 15 minutes flight time was well worth it.

The stewardesses were hot!

"What cost $12 in 1965 would cost $80.75 in 2009." http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi
"What cost $17 in 1965 would cost $114.39 in 2009."

just looked up one-way from lax to SFO and it was $90 with a 1 hour 20 minutes flight time. Ah, how times have changed.

Ahh, back when the USA was a patriarchy, the women dressed like they were out of Star Trek 1.0 (mini skirts) and they actually served the customers with a smile.

Now it is fat old women with scowls who are rude to you the whole flight.

Where did we go wrong? <rhetorical>
