The correct answer is the gender inclusive: Steward. During the 1950's, airlines made up the word stewardess to indicate that women were a lesser lackey than stewards. Hostesses and Hosts, the correct term is Hosts. The gender inclusive form is always correct and cannot be offensive. I would use Attendant.

When a professional description: Farmer, Manager, Teacher, Doctor, Nurse, etc. is referred to generally it is always proper to use a non-specific gender related term.
