None.  "Flight attendant" has replaced steward/ess as it’s seen as more politically correct…. (not that I’m going to venture an opinion on this for fear of a flame war!)

I think they want to say that the steward is the main or lead FA – I think some airlines use now cumbersome names like "inflight services director" or something like that.   – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> The Global Volunteer Network currently have internship positions > available immediately as international flight attendants, stewards and > stewardesses with a designated Chinese Airliner in South China.
