unattractive old pilots

i just got back today from my trip from hong kong, and i have to admit, that im not looking forward to going back anytime soon. fifteen hours is just way too long to be sitting in a super crowded air craft. but when i was in hong kong, i also got a chance to sneak away to japan on cathay pacific, which was a first for me (to ride cathay and go to japan) but anyhoo, that prompted me to do a little comparison to the two biggest asian flying giants.

continental = blue
cathay = green

service:
con - i have never been fond of their service. whenever i get into their check-in area, i always get so turned off by these random flight attendants coming around and shouting out at people to get to empty lines. 
cat - the ladies were smiling and they never assumed that you spoke one language, and so they were very versatile. and they never interrupted me when i had a question or when i wanted to say something stupid. 

flight attendants:
con - granted, they're very nice when they greet you when you come into the plane. they're very nice about showing you where your seat is (but i think that's a little irritating because it does say on your ticket). and its a scam. because after that door closes, that smile goes from their faces and suddenly they're miss cranky pants. 
cat - unlike continental, their smiles last throughout the flight. they're always kind. you know how when you're on the plane, sometimes your ears and your quality of sound end up declining? yeah...cathay flight attendants won't give you dirty looks like you've just said something real inappropriate. 
con - they're getting old. im sorry. most of the continental flights that i've been on have ladies that are in their 40's and up. not that i don't think that's fine, but if you're going to turn all sour on your clients, then you need to take some happy pills and perk up those old ... wrinkles.
cat - they're not all that young either, but they're not nearing their 50's either. 

pilots:
con - its very important to have pilots to talk to their clients before flight take-off to kind of, you know, insure that you're in safe hands with a nice, welcome aboard. but no... not all continental pilots take this time to talk to their clients. and i've noticed that they're a little older as well, like the rest of their crew. meaning that landing is now jeopardized. for this last flight of mine, the last 20 minutes before touchdown, i felt like i was on a roller coaster. there must have been three times where the plane actually dipped so much that i felt my heart go up my throat. the poor kids around us were all screaming and crying in fright. gosh.
cat - they made the smoothest landings and the smoothest take-offs. when we landed, someone in front of me actually said, when did we take off?

continental needs to spice things up.
