I think I swore off dating flight attendants when I fell the second time for the same line

"I'll call you when I get back from (insert international destination here)." Of course, neither called back. I think this is included in training, right after jumping out on a slide.

There is really no difference to meet guys on the planes than anywhere else like clubs, trains, buses, stores, on the streets, etc. If you are really gay, you know how to meet other guys.

I can hardly see anyone that fly international younger than 40s, although it is hard to argue some guys in their 40s are still attractive. These days all senior FA all go out to fly international, with the junior one or the senior one with kids flying domestic.

Don't forget there are many feeders. And many of those were still keep hiring while big carriers were laying off people. (don't you see all those mainline are replaced by RJ ?) These feeders never get enough new blood as their turnaround rates are so high. Therefore, you will always see young faces.

On an airline, I think look is the most important, that is the same as eye contact is one of the most important thing being in customer service industry. Isn't usually someone catch your eye on the street by their appearance ? My tight pants / jeans did catch the eye of several FA.

Don't. There is nothing attractive or sexy about a 20 something that still acts like an eleven year old girl. Like the kind that stands in the middle of the gym room floor singing out loud (and very poorly I might add) to whatever is on his Ipod.

I agree that I use "Cute" when referring to small dogs, babies, and in rare slips you will catch me refer to an outfit as cute. But a guy is always HOT , good looking, or a Daddy/Papi !!!

Not true when UA started hiring again in 07-08 we got a lot of 21-25 y.o. you just need to fly to MCO<OMA<MCI<PDX>MSP >PIT >RNO to get on their flights. You can find late 20's to 40 y.o on Int'l routes all the time you just have to look at some of the more less desired days the Int'l routes and times that the flights operate. ie Weekends tend to have younger FA's as the senior FA's perfer to be home with their families. Int'l flights on Tues-Thurs will have more senior FA's Also when you do have a mix of Sr and Jr the Jr fa's tend to work in Y which most of the FT group seem to never travel in (SMILE).

Seriously - what is it about some people that think because they're gay, they're entitled to behave like children (and very spoiled ones, I might add)?

A few of my single friends must be pretending to be gay then!

How would such a check be done?

UA has quite a lot of cute guys (young and older).

AA to me is limited, but whenever I fly them, they have some ugly and old "straight" guys.

Asian airlines don't have much cute guys, especially they are not even look to be gay. However, I have seen one or two cute guys occasionally on SQ ! I have once on SQ F, one SQ guy saw me strolling around the plane and he spotted me. (he was serving J in upper deck) He decided to come down and serve me personally. Too bad I didn't have an overnight layover in SFO, or I would definatelly hook him up.
AE (Eagle) has some younger guys. There's one I've seen working SAN-LAX a few times who is kind of cute, very fun (some might say flamboyant). AA (mainline) has a lot of very nice FAs, both male and female, but I'm not sure how many I'd say are cute (to me, "cute" applies to younger guys who are good-looking in a smoother way, while "hot" refers to a broader range of guys, both younger and older, so while many "cute" guys are also "hot", not all "hot" guys are "cute"

BA and QF have a lot of nice male FAs. I'm trying to recall any on CX or JL, but I'm not sure, probably because such a high percentage of FAs there are young females.

Maybe he is one of my "friends" I met him online, rather than inflight though.

CX, very rare, if they are male, they are straight.

JL, basically impossible, unless they are language FA. Japanese male FA on JL are usually ISM.

I found at least half of QF crew are gay,many are young and "slim".
Few of them even younger than me,around 20 years old^
