Given that they're slacking off these days, in the U.S. at least, I suggest the FAA re-visit the need for more than one or two FAs per mainline aircraft. There's generally no food offered in Y, and pax could easily bring their own drinks.

Safety? What do FA's do? There's virtually no chance of an airline crash these days, with aviation now outstripping rail as safety champ. Traveling by car you're 20 times more likely to die or be severely injured. Do you carry a personal assistant to help with evacuation? I submit not.

On-board security? I vote for sky marshals.

The once-every-few-years U.S. air crash will kill you. There's nuthin' the FA's can do to help you. They're goners too.

I don't think airline passengers should pay the costs of transporting flighty, dim wanderers out for free travel bennies.
