Flying high
In the 1960s, being a flight attendant was every girl’s dream. They were attractive, bright, young, and usually single, wore stylish outfits and got to see the world in ways their friends and family could only dream of.
Back when air travel wasn’t nearly as common as it is today, flight passengers were usually of higher classes, and the women who served them were as glam as can be. Did you know that in order to keep the work force fresh-faced and energetic, flight attendants were expected to retire from work by the age of 32?
