You're overthinking this. It's not about holding water for anyone in particular. It's simply an automatic opposition to anything Trump does. These people are legitimately unwell in their obsession

We are not a serious country.

I have many thoughts on this and really don't know where to begin. Having young, vibrant female flight attendants definitely resonates with most passengers - more so the men.

My perspective as a line captain is totally different. I want them to be able to do their jobs in an emergency or dealing with the occasional douchebags in the back. You'd be surprised how many midair medical issues we get. The mileage varies on how well some FA crews handle those.

I've been in the industry 24+ years. Their hotness or lack there of doesn't really matter. I keep things professional, but light. I do not fraternize with them. When I upgraded to captain, I got a star on my wings and a target on my back. Some FAs are out to get you. Either they want to be your ball-and-chain or take your down for inappropriate behavior. There have been too many #metoo incidents, some years after the fact and the pilots in question got the hammer dropped on them.

That shit has always been the most confusing part of all of this. What’s in it for someone to hold the water for Fauci. At least Fauci got paid and was trying to cover up his mess, so his motives are clear.
