Sure there are safety aspects but absolutely
none of them have ever actual conducted a real evac - see safety record.
So what we’re left with is who is more likely to to be efficient and friendly and the honest answer is somebody who has had less time to become bored and frustrated with a hard, repetitive and poorly paid job.
That is actually more likely to be a 38 year old than a 58 year old, because cabin crew are real people too.
Disclosure: on the old end of that scale myself.
I personally know of at least 2 instances of cabin crew saving passengers lives while in flight. And I’m sure there are many many more.
Safety is not just about the evacuation.
