Our American cousins I'm afraid.

British cabin crew cannot stand being called flight attendants.


Originally only men were Stewards female cabin crew were Hostesses.


Around the sixties the term Stewardess was adopted and Hostess dropped.

A lot of the lads like to use the term Doris but I not sure the girls approve.

Funnily, recently, a young lady asked me if I was an Air Hostess I replied some people think so!
