Yes - all of them.
Well, all the ones who were working on my flight from Beijing to Hong Kong three weeks ago, at any rate. That was definitely one of the high points of my whole trip. I don't usually have a strong susceptibility to East Asian womanhood, but these girls - wow! (And it's not just the uniform.)
I suppose it's akin to the allure of the barmaid - air stewardesses are friendly and they smile and they may even flirt with you a little (in your fond imagination, at least); and they are attentive to your needs, bring you food and drink. And then there's that unattainability thing again, the provocation of 'forbidden fruit'. And they wear cute uniforms....

Eventually fixed by switching back to the old - ancient! - editing screen. Harumph.]

Ha. When I read this, I thought that Dragonair must have been an all-girl band whose name I missed in your report. (Probably some mock-martial thing, given the reference to uniforms.) Without actually following your link to the list of the month, I thought I could dig up some good photos to share with you...
Imagine my surprise.
Dragonair would indeed be a pretty good band name - but I wonder if the airline would object to an infringement of its IP.
Oddly enough, there aren't very many pictures of Dragonair hostesses online. I could only find 4 or 5, most of which weren't very large or good quality. I should have got clicking with my camera on the flight, I suppose; but, you know, I didn't want to draw attention to myself.
I fell completely in love with the Cathay Pacific stewardess on my flight from HK to JFK. Without a doubt the greatest flying experience of my life. I slept almost 8 hours undisturbed, and the stewardesses were just incredibly nice and kind.
