this is an excellent idea. now that i think about it - why can't we turn the flight attendant's into just air marshalls who are on every flight (and will also hand out complimentary drinks, blankets, pillows, etc). making the air marshall do these services means they get to eyeball every person on the plane and can start identifying "people to keep an eye on". but i totally agree with you - we only need flight attendants for really long flights or international flights. we don't need a stewardess to basically remind us of a better era in the past. great idea.
