1/14 Orlando – Amsterdam. Flight attendants wearing aviator watches, doubly confusing. First, I don’t think any aviator watch ever did anything that a normal watch would not also have done, they were always only a reminiscence, an imitation of the form-follows-function of aircraft instruments. But second, there is now nothing, really, that sets the world of flight attendants apart from any other world, there is no distinct world of people who fly.
