Ladies if you were a flight attendant would you be irked if someone referred to you as an 'air-hostess'?

Question

this question popped into my mind after my previous faux-pas in another question

Answer 1

Nope I wouldn't be offended because that is what flight attendants used to be called about 15-20 years ago.  Maybe some people still use the term, air hostess.  Besides that's what they are anyway they "host" you in the air!

Answer 2

they dont like that?

but ive always called em air hostesses.

hmm, i shall remember this for the next time i happento be on a plane going somewhere. I had no idea.

Answer 3

Only feminism can exert enough thought control and freedom of expression to answer such a question.  Feminism is the ultimate arbiter of that which is correct and proper.

Answer 4

I've heard of people who work such jobs being offended by being called certain things. I have no clue what to call them though, truthfully.

I don't know why but I'm tempted to use the term 'sky waitress.' It sounds correct to me.

Answer 5

I am a flight attendant, and no, it wouldn't irk me in the least.  It's funny, in my 12 years flying people seem to be so unsure what to call us.  I answer to anything.  

It was "stewardess", then "cabin attendant", and so on.  "Air hostess" is what everyone calls the job in the UK.  

Personally, I stick with "OH MISS"!!!!!!
