It would be interesting to read some of those stories Galleywench if you don't mind sharing. I think there are a lot of people who have a "fetish" for flight attendant's more than other careers since they perceive it as being so glamorous and sexy
Yeah, the era of the glamorous F/A ended about 25 years ago. I really don't know why people do but that's the way it seems considering how many creepers have posted candid and "up skirt" pictures and videos of F/As. I even read somewhere that some F/As change in and out of uniform before they leave the airport. Someone posted a picture on flickr of them following an F/A home it seemed like. The male F/As understandably don't care since I was on a flight to HNL where one of the male F/As announced to the cabin that he was in a competition at some bar.
