If you crashing, you crashing. Don't think I need attendants to tell me how to open the emergency door or how to slide down a slide when everyone's in a mad panic
right, because all crashes are 100% fatal and you're a freaking expert at everything right?
aren't those emergency drills they perform mandatory? Nothing in the article that said this dancing replaced that. She still had a job to do, and I am pretty sure she performed the emergency drills.
It's not a hangup and I never said that having fun means you can't do your job. BUT for example, do you want your doctor to be wisecracking during your mammogram in order to "lighten the situation"?
Do you want a police officer to be doing a jigg just "for the fun of it" when you're reporting that you've been mugged?
The same goes for flight attendants. Their PRIMARY job is to get you on and off the plane safely. It's NOT (as commonly believed) to serve you drinks and to serve as eye candy for you.
In what way are your two examples similar to what's happening here?
Is this flight attendant dancing while the plane is nosediving out of the sky?
Is this flight attendant dancing during an evacuation process where half the plane is on fire?
There doesn't seem to be much context surrounding this video, but there is nothing to suggest that there is anything important happening or should be happening at that time.
Maybe the plane is just waiting on the tarmac for takeoff and all the standard emergency instructions have already been given.
A proper analogy with a police officer would be this:
aren't those emergency drills they perform mandatory? Nothing in the article that said this dancing replaced that. She still had a job to do, and I am pretty sure she performed the emergency drills.
Exactly. I would find it a bit more reasonable to have a problem with this:
I'm not a shill for Air Canada if that's what you're asking. I'm just merely stating my opinion that if a flight attendant is dancing around and joking it doesn't project an aura of professionalism to me. I don't want my doctor or nurse to start doing stand up when they're triaging patients. She could be the employee of the month for all I care and be trained up the ying-yang in CPR andflight evacuation procedures. But when I see stuff like this online, I just . I also roll my eyes when people compare airline stewardess' attractiveness. And of course certain Asian airlines that hire 19 year olds are always on the top of the list. I mean WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE?! It's not like any of you are going to be banging them in the lavatory anytime soon. If the plane having any issues, I'd much rather have that 50 year old veteran that looks like Margaret Thatcher who knows what they're doing.
Flying isn't supposed to be fun or enjoyable (at least any more). It's a bus in the sky at this point in history. Get me to my destination on time, in one piece, and with the least possible discomfort and I'm happy. But then again according to all of you I probably have a stick up my ass for thinking this way.

Why are you so bitter? Unless you are some sort of feminazi or a bitter airline stewardess yourself it really doesn't matter... men will be men and men will always "scan" their general surroundings for an attractive female. Just so happens that at 35,000 feet for a 6+ hour flight we will most likely be focused on whether or not the girl serving drinks is cute.
Not to be insensitive, but if the plane is already in the air having issues, I think I would have bigger problems to deal with (such as trying to frantically call my family) than checking out the flight attendant. As long as they know how to give the safety presentation that tells me I'm pretty much SOL anyway in the event of a crash, I couldn't care less. Whether the stewardess "knows what she is doing" makes no difference if we crash on land and I die in a ball of fire or if we crash in the water and I can die slowly of drowning because I don't know how to swim.
On the other 100% of flights I've been on where there are no issues - and air travel still remains the safest mode of transportation, as Superman loves to remind us - of course I would rather be attended to by some 19-25 year old Nammer chick with blonde streaks in a tight pencil skirt with a polite attitude than some bitter and wrinkly 45-year-old lady who pretty much acts like she hates her job.
Say what you want to about political correctness, but as a straight male I'm not going to sit here and lie about my primal instincts for the sake of "being P.C."

I'm sorry if your dick gets so little attention on the ground you feel the need for titillation when it's strapped into a flying metal cylinder at 35,000 feet. I don't need your fatalistic bullshit either so please stay off any planes I find myself on.
