Air stewardesses in Japan claim they are 'turning to prostitution' to combat low wages by charging PILOTS for sex

Are Japanese stewardesses serving more than coffee? According to the Daily Mail, a magazine printed in Japan alleges that prostitution among flight attendants may be a growing problem.

The Japanese-language Shukan Post, reports the Daily Mail, claims the extracurricular activities have been spurred by hard working conditions and a drop in median salary. Between 2004 and 2013, statistics from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare show the average salary of a flight attendant decreased by nearly $10,000. Quoting the Post, the Daily Mail report suggests some stewardesses are making up the difference in pay through prostitution.

The prostitution reportedly works in multiple ways. In some situations, interested attendants will pass their phone number to a senior stewardess who will allegedly act as a “madam” between pilot and attendant. In other situations, flight attendants are reported to line up for the pilot and first officer during pre-flight checks. Interested pilots may then use hand signals to indicate their interest. It’s also reported that some stewardesses utilize escort services in Japan specializing in flight attendant-related fantasies.

The Post report goes on to suggest that the prostitution can be lucrative, especially for younger flight attendants. Stewardesses under 30 are reported to charge between $450 and $700 for a 90-minute session.

Prostitution has been outlawed in Japan since 1956 and airlines are reported to actively fight the practice. An anonymous attendant reportedly told the Post that a prostitution ring was busted by an unidentified airline she began working for in 2007. The airline’s solution was to fire the stewardess in charge of the operation, but the unnamed attendant firmly believes the practice continues today.

you can't make this stuff up.....

According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, salaries for Japan’s flight attendants have slumped significantly over the past decade.
From 2004 to 2013, the average annual wage of a stewardess, aged between 25 and 29, dropped from 4.98 million to 3.91 million yen, the report said.

This has lead to some stewardesses engaging in a selection of sultry services on the side, reports Shukan Post (Dec. 26), which provides a number of confessionals.

A 30-year-old attendant tells the magazine that rumors of a “prostitution circle” had begun several years before she joined an airline in 2007.

“Girls willing to do it with a pilot passed their number to a person who was effectively a female pimp,” says the stewardess. “I heard that the going rate was between 50,000 and 80,000 yen per session.”

When upper management got wind of the operation, the ringleader was terminated. “But since the girls in the circle at the time are still employed at the company, I’m sure it still goes on even now,” she continues.

But one’s age is crucial. “We have an expiration date,” says a 29-year-old who resembles actress Misaki Ito.

After studying her sempai (or mentor), the stewardess realized one’s value diminishes substantially after the age of 30. She is currently enrolled at a “delivery health” out-call sex service that specializes in stewardesses.

“Of course, I never imagined that I’d do this kind of thing,” she confides to Shukan Post. But the fees are highly alluring: A 90-minute session requires an outlay of 60,000 yen.

According to the magazine, other stewardesses may take up part-time work as party companions or bar hostesses in Tokyo’s ritzy Ginza district.

Another stewardess, 30, who has a striking likeness to actress Kyoko Fukada, says that independent options are also readily available.
During pre-flight checks, the stewardesses line up before the pilot an co-pilot. As the briefing proceeds, the pilots will drop signals with their fingers. As an example, four digits raised to his nose is an offer of 40,000 yen for an overnight stay at a hotel, or so says the stewardess.

“This is not unusual for domestic flights on small and medium-sized planes,” she says. “Since accommodations can be scarce, there’s a good chance that the pilots and stewardesses will use the same hotel. So it doesn’t seem suspicious, and the chances of a leak are smaller.”

Apparently, sharing stories about such trysts is the norm, even inside a large locker room at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.

“Not long ago, one gal, in a loud voice, started grumbling about how she only got 60,000 yen from two guys over three nights,” says the stewardess.

Perhaps she should be the one doing the fingering, so to speak? (K.N.)

I call BS, no pilot can afford those rates.

^Or if they can, we should be beating a path to Japan to get paid that much!

Wow... that explains a lot.

Us rampies were trying to figure out the other day why the captain was signalling to start #4 when the airplane only has two engines.

Soon to be followed by a story of starving young pilots working as gigalos but having to pay training bonds for heavies.
