75 years of flight-attendant uniforms at Museum of Flight
On display are 75 years of flight-attendant uniforms, photos, TV commercials, print ads, taped interviews and airline memorabilia.
1940 to late 1950s - Longer skirts, white gloves, girdles, hats, and black-and-white spectator shoes.
1960 to 1970s - Hot pants, miniskirts or an Emilio Pucci-designed "Air Strip"
1980s to present - A functional navy blue suit or pants outfit with bow tie ensemble
Attractive stewardesses became a major marketing tool. In 1971, the now-defunct National Airlines began a suggestive "I'm Cheryl. Fly me," ad campaign (other first names of stewardesses also were used). The airline said revenue increased by a fifth, despite protests by NOW, the National Organization for Women.

To keep with the theme of Flight Attendants, I present to you a America West Flight Attendant's reaction to a bird in the forward galley of a 737-300. Enjoy
