Aaaaaw now I'm going to have to up my Prozac dosage.
Lets see, so if they appear to be going forward does that mean you're at the wrong end of the runway in use. <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Perhaps we can post this on the Test Pilots Forum, they're clever <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Woomera/Chuck....You are both wrong....It's actually a case of neither.....That is, neither the R/Way lights are moving, nor is the A/C.....You have both been labouring under a misapprehension for some time, and I think you should both stop and take a good long hard look at yourselves......But then, would you be going forward or back. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

As for FA's wearing G Strings,it's really not a hard question to answer.....NO.....The G strings are not big enough to cover their heads

Heard in the AN FA crew room at Tulla, just after Titanic was released;
"I saw that Titanic last night. Gee it was sad, they should have made it so the boat didn't sink, it would've been a happier ending!"
I laugh when I hear the FAAA explain their safety virtues! It doesn't stop them accepting the cosmetic allowance, etc, etc, etc, etc.....ad infunitum!

Trying to be serious for a moment. (Trying, not very successfully!) The women in my life, (wife and daughter) assure me those G-string/thong thingies are really quite comfortable, but as a boy who had the odd 'wedgie' imposed on him in the scrum while playing footie at school, I remain seriously unconvinced.
Just as there are men who should NEVER wear body shirts, (and I admit to being one of them!), there are women who should shelve all thoughts of ever wearing a G-string, panty line or no panty line. (Bonds 'Cottontails' do the job, girls.) But there are others who look fabulous in 'em (and know it)! A nice firm, athletic bot looks fantastic in 'em, (and I have to admit to seriously politically incorrect thoughts and linnnnnnngering glances when a well-proportioned girl wearing a G-string walks past). However, an any Flight Attendant out there tell me if she's even gone down an escape slide, particularly a 747 upper deck slide, wearing one (and a synthetic uniform skirt)? I'd have thought it would be a more than slightly painful experience, bordering on a Worker's Compensation case, particularly if the employer had issued instructions that 'thongs' should be worn.
That brings me to another point altogether. Have you ever considered that the image that comes to mind for an Australian is absolutely different to the one that an American might conjure up if someone were to say: "Gawd! I just saw two broads in swimsuits walking down to the beach, an' they were both wearing thongs."

In the early days of Air Niugini,in an application from a jungle bunny,where it said sex she had coyly put "Yes,once at Brown River".
And at Talair Goroka,on a National Provident Fund form,for those that couldn't write their name there was a box where the applicant was to put an impression of his right thumb, which he duly did, a beautifully drawn side elevation of his thumb with fingernail and joint wrinkles etc !!

I really feel that we need to get to bottom of this report or rumour regarding G-strings for the girls. At the end of the day you have to ask is this report for real or just branching off at the Y.
No doubt the male pax, like me, have said 'Gee' when looking at the figure of a hostie working up the isle. Now are we to be deprived of the pleasure of trying to figure out what they are wearing underneath?
I for one would prefer to be the Captain at the end of the flight at the RON hotel when he does the de-briefing of the crew to ensure company standards are upheld.
And let it not be forgotten that there are those who have said that they enjoy working under female flight crew who may have gained cockpit credentials. And some flight crew simply say 'Gee, not enough' when it comes to adequate coverage in some quarters of the uniform allowance.
All together something to figure out or get your teeth into.

Okay I'm not too proud to risk revealing that I have been sheltered/deprived (that's deprived with an "i"). I'm not too proud to ask the big questions of those more worldly than I.
Why is a G-string so called?

One explanation.........
(QUOTE)
I am searching for the origin of g-string.
Are you planning to wear one? If so, you would be donning what was originally Native American garb. The word was initially (1878) geestring, and it referred to what amounted to a loincloth held up by a string and worn by certain Indians. Most etymologists think that geestring was probably originally an Indian word which was adopted in a form that was more familiar to English tongues. The term doesn't appear with reference to showgirl costumes until 1936, but it was likely in use in that sense for some time prior to that date. It was shortened to g-string, possibly by contamination from the notion of stringed instruments like guitars and violins, by 1891, at which time we find this interesting quotation in Harper's Magazine: "Some of the boys wore only 'G-strings' (as, for some reason, the breech-clout is commonly called on the prairie)." This suggests that the word may have been of Sioux or other Plains Indian origin.

Call me crazy, but one of the main functions of undies is, I believe, to keep the skid marks off the inside of your dacks.
I can't see a g-string doing that real well - imagine the nasty sweaty situation after a long trip pushing drinks carts up and down the aisles.
Scary.

Thanks for that explanation. Here I was thinking that the G-string we know today must be the latest model of the unsuccessful models A thru F and that it wasn't until the G model that the designers figured that the skinny bit should go at the back.
