The last time flight attendants were considered glamorous, I suspect, was back when Nixon was in the White House.
These women and men have pretty tough jobs that require them to work nights, weekends and holidays, often away from home, stuck in an "office" where the closest thing to an employee break room is a galley the size of an airplane lavatory.

So if flight attendants sometimes seem a little grumpy, cut them some slack and pay attention to what they really, really want you to know. The four points they want to make are based on chats with several anonymous flight attendants over the years, including a 40-year veteran of a major U.S. airline who is still flying today.
