Why is the stewardess holding her hands behind her back?

While flying, you probably noticed that during the seating of passengers one of the stewardesses usually holds her hands behind her back. It may not have crossed your mind that such a pose is not just the gold standard of the stewardess's appearance, but a way to hide one small thing from the eyes of those around you.

Not so long ago in the blogosphere, some very observant travelers revealed this secret of stewardesses. The thing is that before the take-off of the airliner, flight attendants are required to count the passengers. In this business, special counters help them. And, so as not to disturb people, not to attract their attention and not to embarrass them, flight attendants hide this device, folding their hands behind their backs.
