Hi Mary,
I read your story with a little bit of heartbreak regarding your father's comment that flight attendants are "glorified waitresses". As a 35 year old man, the only thing I ever truly wanted to be was a F/A. I am embarrased to admit this, but as a teenager I used to practice (by myself) making inflight annoucements and the look of pride on my face when I would get there.
I remember my mother yelling at me that I am "wasting my life" wanting to be a F/A. I went on to a career with various airlines on the grounds ops side, but was a heavy heart that I never got to wear the wings and fly....It just never happened for me.
God bless you.... wonderful life that I wished I lived.. As I sit at a desk, in my faceless cubicle working in insurance......
I can still dream......
Tom
