Judging from the popularity of the Broadway show “Boeing Boeing” and plans for a television series based on the world of Pam Am stewardesses, the public seems to long for the days when airlines prided themselves on their flight attendants and the pampering they provided.
Those days are long gone for most carriers. But some long-haul airlines are betting that service that harks back to the glory days of flying will give them an edge.
Emirates Airline is one of them.

How will American and European airlines compete in a world dominated by Eastern Airlines equipped with the best aircraft and with the best service of trained, enthusiastic, young stewardesses that only work around 4 years before moving on instead of staying and getting plump, mean and lazy and all subsidized by some of the richest sovereign funds?
