If I recall correctly, I got rid of the word human because there aren't likely to be any other kind of flight attendants, as airplanes are — without any known exception in the DWU — exclusive to Earth. You might say, well, what about the chick from Midnight? But she's a hostess, not a "flight attendant". Splitting hairs? Maybe — but categories frequently split hairs.

The whole "human" thing on category names needs badly to be re-examined, since people went crazy creating them before they figured out there were non-humans doing the work of the category in question. A category name should probably be no longer than it actually needs to be, and it definitely shouldn't imply the existence of other things that don't exist. "Human flight attendants" fails those two tests, and hence was deleted.
