I'm curious why nothing was said about the archaic use of the term "stewardess." I thought they were all flight attendants. Obviously the article's author is blatantly sexist. We should boycott the skynews website for its insensitivity towards the flight attendant profession. After all, as we all know, flight attendants are clearly better-educated and socially superior to us screener low-lifes who lean forward in the foxholes of freedom valiantly fighting the war on terror with our hand-wands and ETD swabs. Flight attendants are the ones whose lives are now jeapardized by the small scissors and computer geek screwdrivers we now allow at checkpoints. With the additional pressure they now face with the unrestricted threat of being jabed with a pair of manicure scissors, it's no wonder a flight attendant would scream, "we're going to crash!"

The FAMs responded with their Second Amendment rights. I don't see the problem here.

This is pretty disheartening. I wonder how often crews just freak under stressful conditions?
