Petrus sent in this 1967 ad for stewardes flight attendants.
Just half a century ago you had an airline that openly said they were searching for hot girls to assist with the flight, that served really good meals and “attended to your needs.”
What happened?
To be fair, the passengers got worse, much worse. So the answer to whatever problem was being solved by forcing diversity amongst employees, it seems to have had an effect on the quality of their customers.
Maybe when you force companies to be diverse people can obtain employment in whatever state they are in (filthy, dirty, stupid, sluggish, incompetent, undisciplined, unmotivated, etc.) Now they have enough money to fly!
It’s the circle of progressivism!
(I do think some hot black, latino or Asian girls would make the ad less vulnerable to attack in 2018. But my point still stands. Diversity of race is fine. Diversity of quality, in terms of character, is not.)
How many of these girls are still hot?
DIEversity of race is nothing more than White Genocide.
I liked the world better before political correctness. Half a century later this as would cause riots.
Now days you get “would you care for a refreshment?” asked by a 265 pound man in “transition” with smeared bright red lipstick and a five o’clock shadow.
Have a pleasant flight!
Yup. Just imagine what the losers today would look, and smell, and sound like.
Strange to admire how attractive they all were, when I was conceived the year that ad ran.
“(I do think some hot black, latino or Asian girls would make the ad less vulnerable to attack in 2018”
No, no, no! 1967 was the dawn of affirmative action; this ad features the LOSERS, and they are all WHITE! The WINNERS were minorities, and have been ever since!
You’re right about the quality of passengers dropping. People used to dress for success when flying. You rarely saw a man NOT wearing a tie & jacket. Today’s air passengers are more like the 1970’s Greyhound riders.
They all have that, “I can’t believe I blew that fat pig for nothing.” look.
The passengers got worse, sure, but they just reflect the general decline in society.
Start a new flight class.
Institute a dress and behavior code and have fewer seats and more room.
Offer a better experience from security on, and put a family section with soundproofing from the rest of the cabin
And Don Draper nailed all of them.
Eastern Airlines is gone… replaced by People’s Airlines where you flew with the chickens and the pigs (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
Does this provide a partial answer for little Ronnie Howard?
Question please: What does this statement in the ad mean: “serving your dinner?” On an airoplane? Wow, they have food on airoplanes?

Yeah, the one second from the right has a third eye. Pretty sure that used to be grounds for rejection. But probably not anymore.
The main ones butt-hurt by an ad like this are ugly liberal feminist college professors and the formerly pretty young women who listened to these professors and turned themselves into ugly liberal feminists. I won’t even mention pajama-boy beta males…
Hey, girls, at least you got to try. Think about all of the gay men who didn’t.
And speaking of Stews, ybody ever try to watch that lame “Madman” ripoff, “Pan Am?”
Girls in dresses not blue jeans or other pants. It was a great time to be alive.
Fcuking hate it when I get on a plane and find out the fag is running my section. Snippy fcuker, yes, I said I wanted two scotches and 2 cups of ice! No, I don’t want any SOY!
is that Agent 99 … left side, middle?
Obviously they are losers; no tattoos. How can one identify a tramp without the requisite “stamp?”
I used to fly Eastern and they had the ugliest, oldest, meanest stewardesses I’ve ever seen. Now, Singapore Airlines, well, that’s another story.
Torture via constant drip on the forehead is the same as dealing with Singaporeans.
I used to love stewardae. Now they’re just OK; no longer a treat.
