The airlines were faced... «Ayoade On Top»
dashitjeeves23 декабря 2024The airlines were faced with a catch-22: they sought to comfort those frightened of flying by providing cabin crew to help with safety, but they had to make it clear that the cabin crew weren’t really needed for safety because the planes were already so massively safe.
Thus, the stewardesses came to be presented as merely decorative. They were receptionists without the administrative burden, maids without the elbow room. If women weren’t afraid to be on a plane, why should anyone else be? Plus, if a woman were forced to share the same contained space as you, an emotionally closed-off businessman, how would she stop herself falling in love? Has she any idea how many moves you have? Has she any idea how many women would fall prey to your charms if only they were employed to pretend to like you?12
