Since 1995

Editors' Note: In context of a past era, with smaller aircraft cabins, this article appeared in the October 1946 issue of 'Between Ourselves' -
 
Taller Stewardesses for Larger Planes.

In 1946, with the introduction by TCA of the North Star, good things may come in small packages, but who will say a word against larger ones?

Somehow, the tidings that new TCA stewardesses may henceforth be an inch taller than previously strikes an enthusiastic chord.

Although we know that these renowned girls already approach perfection, we are still great believers in variety.
 
From now on, TCA will accept stewardesses up to five feet six inches, with, the minimum remaining the same at five feet. Weight limitations still draw the line at 125 pounds.
 
These larger aircraft of ours seem to bring blessings innumerable.
