My one and only trip on a Whisperjet!

"they really did seem to care." Charl, they probably did, but that was last century. Today, you would just be "too hard in 13A"

1975:
“The Old BoilersDispute” began over poor pay and the push for recognition of the primarily safety related role of flight attendants. Reg Ansett insulted the Unionists calling them “glorified waitresses” and the Union Executive “Old Boilers”. The outraged hostesses voted to strike indefinitely and their collective strength led to an apology from Mr Ansett and the improvement of their conditions.
