I'm shocked when I see a 76ER crew in JFK. Why in the world are these old ladies continuing to work?

Apparently some FA's are having the Red Dress made in sizes that fit them. The real Red Dress Qual'd FA's are upset about it.

I remember that story...god bless that captain!!! I have no idea how these great-grandmas today make it through recurrent training. Don't they have to ride down the emer slide or something?
