Having to "be nice" to people and "smile" is incredibly stress-inducing. Their unions have a legitimate beef, they should sue. And those skimpy outfits on stewardesses in america, where 55yr old women fought for and won the right to keep on as air hostesses? It wouldn't be Miss USA out there...

Fact is our airports are dumps. Compared to other countries our airports are small, dirty, uncomfortable, crowded, old and therefore: unfriendly. Add to this the lack of PROFESSIONAL, TRAINED security and we have a cesspool.

At least 500 employees are getting "nice" training; from the AirTran to the parking lot to the ticket booth, travelers should be greeted with a smile -- albeit a forced one.AirTran is an airline. AirTrain is a train that takes you to the airport.

It was about time JFK employees at all levels get trained on NICE. You always knew you arrived in NY by the attitude of the employees you had to deal with upon returning from vacation.

Seriously, that's image is one vintage look that needs to be reinstated.

American carriers should take tips from Singapore Airline's 'Singapore Girls' The best FA's in the air, plus they are hot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore_Girls

it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Did the planes back then have cages for the stewardesses to dance in?

Yet another thing wrong w/ air travel today - no hot stewardesses in short shorts.
