I have never ever, enjoyed such good service as those ladies provided. I didn't notice wrinkles or fat, but I wasn't looking to bed them in the suite either, my 6 year old was with me so I had to show a little decorum. Who gives a rats ... about the age? I will take experienced and excellence anyday over the alternative, and that is not to say that young cannot give excellent cabin service.
Those FAs really went above and beyond, they seemed to thoroughly enjoy their job.
Last year we flew LAX - HNL on United in first. The FA's must have had 99 years sevice with the airline .

However I have never seen such an organized bunch getting out the drinks and lunch. They were all over us and they too seemed to really enjoy their jobs.

So sometimes the oldies can give great service!
