History Lesson
Up until 1985 Qantas employed a large percentage of men to be CC.
There were usually one or two women who worked in P/C made PAs and distributed documents.
Qantas Didnt become an equal opportunity til around this time.
The old ducks previously alluded to are actually beehives who have transferred from the domestics.
The balding fat yobbos alluded to have largely gone.VR has removed around 1200 CC over the last seven years.
The average of Qantas Crew is around 39 years.
The previous posters need to be aware that things have changed.
If you want old you need look no further than any American Carrier.
If you want ancient with attitude have a look at BA.
So lets put these things in context and provide for a balanced discussion.
Try and keep exaggeration and silly perceptions conjured up from the bottom of an empty Jack bottle to a minimum shall we.
It might be fun to stir the natives but it does fact and truth no good at all
