There are great things but then there are some others things that keep a lot of girls from opting for it. Like the fact that you have to bear with the indecent behaviour of a lot of guys who have the mindset that since they have paid for the ticket, they can do as they please.Â
Also, don't you think that their careerspan is quite less since as and when they get a bit old, they are replaced and after having worked as an AH for say 1- years, where would you go?
