Until proven otherwise, "stewardesses" is longest common word typed solely by the left hand on a QWERTY keyboard. That said, Mrs. Buzz started her career as a stewardess in 1977, and then finally retired over 43 years later as a flight attendant..... never bothered her to still be addressed as a stewardess in her later years of flying; as long as the person addressing her was close to her vintage, or was even more of an antique.
IOW, boomer stewardesses are OK, but Gen X'ers, and newer, are all flight attendants.
The gender bigotry shown by the MN lawmaker was palpable, but maybe he was pissed off MN lost Northwest Airlines in the merger w/ Delta, though MSP is still a Delta hub.....
though no more HQ there, since DAl is in ATL.
