Union Blasts American For Flight Attendant 'Beauty Contest'
American Airlines is looking for its most photogenic flight attendants. But the attendants union is criticizing the airline, saying the effort essentially amounts to a "beauty contest" that the union says recalls a sexist ear in which attendants were known as stewardesses (travel.usatoday.com) Más...THIS IS NOT A NEW IDEA. YEARS AGO I BELIEVE UNITED AIRLINES TOOK PRIDE IN HAVING THE MOST ATTRACTIVE STEWARDESSES IN THE AIR. NO HARM DONE. A MORE ENJOYABLE FLIGHT. WHO (LADIES) DOESN'T LIKE AN ATTRACTIVE FLIGHT OFFICER. THESE PERSONS ARE NOT SEXEST, JUST THE HUMAN CONDITION THAT WE LIKE ATTRACTIVE THINGS, PETS, AN YES PEOPLE.
Al, dude, I agree with you but you are killing me with the yelling caps. As for the Beauty Contest, BRING IT ON! Why not? Not only are airline fleets aging but so, sadly, are the flight attendants. It is the only reason I will even get on an RJ. Women dress for beauty - I say I should be able to admire it. Love when I have a hot one and I am PIC. Vegas layovers. Ah the good life!
Let's see the photos and we will rate them! Who's got 2 thumbs and wants to judge flight attendants? "THIS GUY"
sorry for yelling, will whisper from now on. o.k.fellow dude
I think that being poised, slender, and attractive should be a very important part of the job. It is definitely a requirement in many other countries' airlines. If your booty is too wide to fit on the jump seat, and your face and hair don't project a pretty image for the company, then there are scores of others lining up for the job, who are also, strong, intelligent, and are capable of handling emergency and safety issues. Yes, beauty is important in this profession, in my opinion.
