and the rest of you that think the airlines shouldn't hire "mature" f/as...

Ms. Higgins said one reason everyone survived was that the plane carried “very senior flight attendants.” All were in their 50s, according to US Airways. “This is a testament to experienced women doing their jobs, because they were, and it worked,” said Ms. Higgins, who began working for the federal government in 1969. --Kitty Higgins, NTSB

A comment I pulled from one of my safety briefings for accident investigator emails.
 
If they were in their 50's and, according to the reports I've read, had about 20 years of experience at the airline, then they were hired in their 30's.

You had a misleading post. I expected more from you.

Sorry, not trying to hate on your game.

By they way, the "Chief Pilot for Life" that we both know got abruptly sent back to the line last week.
 
How about this: When I was 27, I had 7 years experience as a F/A. I'd done IOE and ground school instruction, and been at both a regional & a legacy major...

Young, yet 7 years experience.... ;)


Not in any way taking away from the fine job the 3 ladies on that Airways flight did, and if they're still working there (not furloughed) then they've got many years on me, that's for sure.

My point is that experience comes with experience, not just age.
 
Not the point at all, Amber. Walt likes to rip older F/As. Seems he prefers youth and appearance over age and experience.

Oh, that Walt!

I thought you were talking about Dr. Forred! I wondered what the heck he had to do with this! :buck:


Nevermind.....
 
My sister-in-law just called me to say she read an article that gave their ages as 58, 57 and 51. Good for them---for still working after probably many years on the line! :rawk:

I just wonder if they're able to lift 20 lb. bags into the overhead. :buck:
