    That article reads like North Korean journalism. Where’s the Party Pooper when you need him.

    Yeah, this doesn’t sound like 21st-cen Korean young women at ALL…

    Man, look at eyebrows on the air hostess in the middle. If she shows up at Monsieur Seouldout’s Brazilian Wax Boutique I’m charging her double. Got short and curlies up to her navel, she does.

    Foreign crew tend not to make the effort to bend their knees to provide service…

    When I lived in Australia, I flew with Emirates a lot. Never once saw a Korean flight attendant!. Love the airline, though their flight attendants are very plain.
    Malaysian airlines cabin crew are amazing!,

    I flew on Emirates a couple of times between Seoul and Dubai and those flights usually has three Korean FAs as part of the crew. I also flew on Korean Air between Seoul and Dubai and the feeling I got from comparing the services of the two airlines is that Emirates Korean FAs, unlike their Korean Air counterparts, tend to be less attentive to the passengers.

    Put it simply, the reality is a lot different than the one portrayed in the article.

    i had to LOL at this bit:

    “Koreans accept different cultures more easily than the Chinese or Japanese,” said Matt Howard who is in charge of publicity for the company.

    I note that the article used the word “stewardess” but these comments use “hostess” and “flight attendant.”

    Who thought the Marmot comment page would actually be *more* PC than an article in a newspaper?

    #9: For balance: stewardess, waitress in the sky, stew.

    I wonder which nation provides the best poofs, oops, I mean, stewards?

    Malaysian Air Systems men are the sexiest stewards in the skies over the Pacific.

    Sonagi,

    More so than those of Singapore Airlines? I don’t swing that way (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but the stewards there seemed very attractive: gracious, clean-cut and confident. The ladies seemed to like them.

    I only ever flew Singapore Airlines once, but I’ll take your word for it.

    Any flight attendant is sexy when you are flying out of Bangkok with a slight hangover, and they fill your glass with brandy after lunch.
