Beware travelers with bratty kids

I couldn't agree more! The only difference I can see between
"steward/stewardess" and "flight attendant" is that "stewardess" also
denotes a female. But that's not offensive, it's factual, and there's no
reason why that would have to be private info. What's so offensive or
demeaning or wrong about "stewardess"? It's just an older word for
someone performing the same duties.
