Did you see the pictures of those 90 pound Asiana gals packing passengers on their backs? There is no question that if that airplane had old grannies on it, a few more wouldn't have made it. I know we have some of the best FA's in the industry, but we do have some that need to hang it up and knit some crap for their great grand kids.
