Usage notes

  • The term flight attendant began to replace the older, gender-specific term stewardess in the US during the 1980s, following the Wilson v. Southwest Airlines Co. court decision which banned discrimination of male flight attendants, and is now preferred in Western countries due to its gender-neutral nature.
