Where Are All The Young People ?

I flew to NYC with US Air and back to Charlotte this week. I won't go into details of my experience getting to NYC. Coming back went much better. My one observation of the entire flight experience is why are all the stewards and stewardess so old? Are there no young people being hired? All the people I saw were at least my age or older. Most of the women had the middle age spread and baggy eyes. Hardly any one looked happy. Maybe the NYC flight is a golden ring that only years of service entitles you to that flight. But when you are tired looking at yourself just makes you more tired.
