*Jingle* Promotional Image of the Weeeeek
If you’ve ever taken an internal flight in the US, you’ll recognise these ladies. They’re all like this out there – 40+ with smiles barely masking the intense internal aggression brought on by spending 20 years having to be nice to idiots.
Richard Branson personally hired them in 1985, and they’ve been slowly moving down the professional ranks ever since.

The one in blue is going to strip search the fat fuck while “marm” on the right is handing out the pre-flight gimlets. Class.

Flights go by so much slower when you’re not fantasising about boning the hostesses in the business class toilet.

Is that a modified Mr. Hankey fancy dress costume?!?

I’ve never taken an internal flight in the US. I don’t recognize them at all. This update is wasted on me. :(

Still would. They both look like they could suck a ping pong ball through a hosepipe, which is a useful trick when you have to siphon your aviation fuel from rival carriers’ planes under cover of darkness while the pilot lets the tyres down.
It’s not very glamourous anymore, is it?

“If you窶况e ever taken an internal flight in the US”
Well that rules out most of the regulars, who would be excited by an internal bus ride in the UK.

“They both look like they could suck a ping pong ball through a hosepipe,…
Substitute your own descriptive phrase below:
“…the chrome off a trailer hitch.”
“…a golf ball thru a garden hose.”
Now sit back and start racking up the page hits!

You get the same ‘type’ of FA on most US based carriers doing international flights too. It’s really not a pleasant experience.
Eye candy and over familiarity – Virgin.
British snootiness intertwined with faceless politeness you get like when you visit the bank – BA.
Talking of which, it’s almost time to go away again and email an update to Idiot in a champagne fuelled rant.

“internal bus ride”… Do I want to ask?
Sorry, I didn’t mean to derail the noble effort of making idiot rich by making crowd friendly comments. To that end: these girls certainly aren’t teen virgins. Miscelaneous taking them up the isle joke. Ad nauseum.

Is that women wearing jumpsuit? A BROWN jumpsuit? Why?
And why does the other lady get an alright (ish) early Princess Di navy shift? Why don’t they match, godammit?

Maybe it’s like a Star Trek thing and they have different roles? Both of which involve handy out glasses of clear liquid and pieces of paper?
Although I’m not sure if brown was one of the colour choices they had in Star Trek. Definitely seems more Space:1999
I’ve been on 2 internal flights in (over?) the US.
And 1 in Mexico too. Yay me.

I feel like I should have stuck with my original comment about their different ‘uniforms’ now. It’s so hard anticipating what will and won’t be popular.
