Some years ago a friend of mine flying for BA hurt his back and was transferred to HR for a while. During this period BA, like many airlines, was suffering from staff turnovers with stewardesses, as they were then called. They realized that most woken spent just two years there and after the glamor was over left to get married and raise families. That was normal. But after all the training etc. this was costly for BA.
They then changed the policy to hire women who were slightly neurotic, there were many tests, who wanted to marry their jobs instead, perhaps without even realizing it..
It certainly worked and staff turnovers dropped dramatically. That's why we see many elderly stewardesses today.
