When Being 25 and Unmarried = Old Maid
She has her own job, and a glamorous one at that (back then).
She’s worked for three years, but has failed on one specific point:
She hasn’t yet bagged a husband.
The other stews manage it in 21 months, leaving a charmed life for laundry and kids.
She can serve cocktails and dinner for 35, smile like she means it, and yet keeps her composure in an emergency. What’s not to like?
Here’s to you, single stewardess! Those crotchety old men don’t know what they’re missing!

Ah, the seventies...Those were the days, my friend. Good god, I thought they'd never end.
And one of your tags is "obviously a slut"? Gee Barbara, why don't you say what you REALLY think? Keep holding it in like that, and you're going to have a heart attack some day......
I wonder if United had a policy at the time that their stewardesses could not be married, or if it was just the norm that a girl would quit after walking down the aisle (and more often than not, with a pilot!).
And yes, she obviously puts out ;-)
