How is this woke? I see nothing wrong with make up and tattoos. As long as they are clean, don't stink and aren't rude, I see no problem with this.
I'm pretty sure he posted this and is calling it woke because United said male flight attendants care wear makeup and nail polish if they want.
I'm not thrilled on the idea of men wearing makeup either, but I dont see how this effects anyones "freedoms" or flying experience. As long as United is done beating people up, then who cares.
I work in a drug rehab clinic where 200+ patients go through every day. Their appearance exceeds every expectation you might think of. I've pretty much gotten used to hair of every day glow color, full sleeve tattoos, facial tattoos, piercings, gays, lesbians, ex convicts, punks, speed freaks...you name it. About 98% of them are actually pretty decent people regardless of their looks and habits. Professional boundaries is about all that would keep me from being good friends with many of them.
Neat video, and to be sure, people did dress much better back then. But whoever made the video did do a few creative tricks to make it look better. Most of the passengers shown in their seats were traveling in first class; you can tell because there are only two seats on each side of the aisle. Thus, it looked roomier than many people would ever experience. I think the only time they showed the economy cabin was when they showed the mother, father, and young girl sitting in the middle. Note that they put the young girl in the middle, so the three of them together didn't look as packed in. FWIW, the fuselage width (measuring outside) of a 707 was 148 inches, which is exactly the same as today's 737. In other words, the coach-class seats weren't any wider then than they are now. Probably had more legroom, though.

The first time I was ever inside an airplane was in 1970 flying to basic training in a C-124, so that doesn't count. When I started flying regularly for business in the mid-70s, the coach seats were no wider than now but you had a little more legroom. By the time I stopped flying in 2009 (retirement) they'd moved the seats quite a bit closer together, but they were still relatively comfortable. If you happened to get a window seat on a small regional jet, you'd have to hold your head sideways for the entire trip. I haven't flown since then but from what I've heard it's gotten a lot worse.
I'm on a plane to get from point a to point b, not hook up with a flight attendant.
I have no use for Flight Attendants either...I fly to get someplace quickly...I usually put my headphones on as soon as i get into my seat and close my eyes.
