This podcast focuses on an article from the Transport Security International Magazine that discusses the portrayal of flight attendants in the media and the potential negative impact this has on their professional image. In it the author, Alexandra James, argues that stereotypical representations of flight attendants as sexual objects, often seen in advertising and entertainment, can lead to passengers viewing them as less credible safety and security professionals. James further explores the issue of flight attendants themselves potentially contributing to this stereotype through their social media presence and comedic safety demonstrations. Ultimately, she emphasizes the importance of promoting a respectful and professional image of flight attendants to ensure they are recognised and supported in their crucial role of maintaining passenger safety and security.
