right, because all crashes are 100% fatal and you're a freaking expert at everything right? FailFish

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.

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. FailFish

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:

Exactly. I would find it a bit more reasonable to have a problem with this:

But still, I don't think it's a big deal.

I guess it's a matter of personal opinion then.

If you see your flight attendant as a waitress in the sky then it's no big deal.

If you see them as more of a conductor then no, it's not professional.

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 FailFish. 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."

ok that was pretty good, I can tell that she does have some formal dance training

She should battle against Kim Sato and see who wins.

Ok the name of that flight attendant is Caralee Savage and she's not bad either..

She's a former member of Legacy One: Legacy One

Kim Sato is from Souldiers, which is also well respected dance company: Souldiers // Vancouver Based Dance Company

I go on about 50 flights a year and I can tell you west jet attendants are a lot more chipper then air Canada. Their like zombies

Westjet or...

:troll:

off topic but I find Cathay or EVA Air has the "best" attendants
