Answer 2

Flight attendants formerly were called stewardesses, while the males were called stewards, as they were so named on ships. This was partly because airline service was originally marketed as "ships of the air", and the rest because they were accepted terms at the time.

To avoid the appearance of sexual discrimination, and a common perception and association with the word "waitress", the term was abandoned by the airlines some years ago.

Today the discrimination remains, but it less visible, as females are now called flight attendants, but males of identical rank, and who perform the same functions, are still called stewards.


Actually, they do not have restaurant counterparts, as they are considerably more knowledgeable than that. All of them are trained to deal with passengers in many ways, admittedly the most obvious being meal/beverage service and paying attention to immediate needs.

Unknown to most passengers, they are also given training in safety, including evacuation procedures and the self-control needed in such emergencies. They also learn how to deal with medical crises on board, as well as some psychological understanding of how people react when in a confined area, and in close proximity with each other for hours at a time, and how they should best address these concerns.

The similarity to restaurant personnel seems evident, but, pun intended, they are well above that.
