*”Excuse me ma’am can you stop modeling with my water I’m parched.”*

[HoeruTiger]

Why does everyone think the future is going to be ugly silver clothing?

[rodrigofmb]

So in the future rhe flight attendants will be dressed like Lady Gaga?

As a male former flight attendant (the industry has had male flight attendants since the early 1970's), I do not believe I would have looked good in any of these uniforms,

[GAZAMANX]

*"Ma'am can you please hand me my bag of chips instead of modeling down the isle?k thanks."*

[aliamr]

Am only that see the 1950s is the best one

[kamalyamirhadi]

The 1950's uniform was the prettiest. The 1970's and 1990's are nice too. Others just meh

[VeryV]

Nobody:


The 1950’s: *Britney Spears would like to know your location*

[samanthawebbb]

As a flight attendant, I can only pray that this future prediction isn't true! Bring back the Pacific Southwest Airlines uniforms though! 🙌💁✈️

[kasthuri]

I don't think the future will be like that

[aliceharstrom]

i love the 50’s! it’s like the ”original” flight attendant uniform. <3

[JaviTruloveSims]

I'm a bit confused, The 60's and the 70's looks are too pedestrians.. are they really used to dress that way?

[juliakee]

who else got surprised with 1960's?

edit: after three years i didn’t know this comment of mine exist not until now. I’m surprised again.

EDIT AGAIN MOM IM FAMOUS XDDD

[onceweeb]

Nobody:

The 2020:
* Wears a Personal Protective Equipment *

[yuh]

I can’t be the only one who loves how flight attendants uniforms look? They look so formal and idk what it is I just really like them lol.

[candicoated]

1990s reminds of a particular Brittney Spears music video I forgot which one I think it might be Toxic/

[lucijatadinac]

Could you do 100 years of nurse uniforms. I would really like to see that. :) This was really nice.

[PotterLatina]

2000's hair is weird, I've never seen a flight attendant with a non-tied hairstyle

[julieannelissehyland]

1950😍 the elegance and simplicity, the Pan Am blue 😍💚
