History of life as a flight attendent

Have you ever been curious about the life of a flight attendent? For year’s it was seen as a woman’s job, though funnily enough the first air steward was a men in 1912. Have we even been flying that long?! I’ve always thought it a very glamerous job, apart from when you have to stop people joining the mile high club perhaps?! It certainly is a popular job to have, in 2010 Delta Airlines received 100,000 applications for 1000 jobs which is apparently a lower chance of getting the job than getting a place at Harvard! Maybe it’s time to apply for Harvard?

The guys at Opodo created this infographic all about the history of flight attendants. I’ve certainly learnt a thing or two.

Let me know what you think 🙂
