Cool Oldest Australian Flight Attendant still flying

OK, same deal as the oldest pilot pilot thread no names inititals and airline OK. real age or suspected real age and/or start date will do fine
Let the "Bitch Slaps" begin.

Not quite on topic .. but I can recall when I were but a young lad, MC who was #2 (?) ticket holder at AN and the terror of pilots at the time .. took me under her ample wing and mothered me wonderfully. Actually, I used to think that any hostie under the age of whatever .. wasn't worth having a drink with on overnights. Girls such as CM, et al were absolutely wonderful folk. There were probably about a dozen or so of the "old boilers" whom we treasured on the aircraft and overnights.

MC was always absolutely lovely to me ... guess you never got to appreciate having a meal and beer/wine with real women, then ?

I suppose that we really shouldn't retell the young girl tale of RH and the "one for you .. one for you" ... Ron generally cut through the waffle with a sharp knife.

Scary as MC was, she was always good to those of us in crewing. Knew the rules so we couldn't BS her, but when we were in the right, there was no argument...unlike some.

She also did the "trainer" duties at the annual footy match (aka Bitch slap) between the AN & QF FA's. If you didn't have a corked thigh before the rub down, she made sure you left with one!!!

A friend of mine is a female F/A with SQ at the age of 38. Now that's old by SQ standards!
