Dan-Air, the company accused of labelling cabin staff as sexually promiscuous, decided to send bouquets of flowers to its 600 stewardesses - including about 60 based at Newcastle.
The move was described as a gesture of goodwill by the airline, which is also giving £ 5, 000 to a childrens trust which organises flights for disabled and deprived youngsters.
The early St Valentines Day gift was made after talks between management and cabin crew representatives of the Transport and General Workers Union.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1987, Steve Casey stands proudly alongside Anne Liddle, Jeanette Jenkins, and Linda Clough. These four individuals were part of the esteemed cabin staff at Dan-Air, an airline that had recently faced accusations of labeling its stewardesses as sexually promiscuous. In a bid to restore goodwill and mend relationships with their employees, the company decided to send bouquets of flowers to all 600 stewardesses, including approximately 60 based in Newcastle. This heartwarming gesture was not the only act of kindness by Dan-Air. Alongside the floral gifts, they also donated £5,000 to a children's trust that organizes flights for disabled and underprivileged youngsters. The timing couldn't have been more perfect as these early St Valentine's Day presents were given just after successful negotiations between management and representatives from the Transport and General Workers Union. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time - an era when air travel was still glamorous and exciting. The women don elegant uniforms while standing beside a mature gentleman who exudes confidence. It serves as a reminder of vacations taken, holidays celebrated, business trips embarked upon - all made possible by these dedicated hostesses who ensured passengers' comfort on board their airliners. As we gaze upon this image today, it is important to remember the significance behind it - not just for those involved but also for future generations who can appreciate how acts of goodwill can bridge divides and bring people together in unexpected ways.
