Delta requires what?!?
 

Underwear - Yes underwear. You must wear underwear to a job interview as a flight attendant.

It’s pretty sad Delta has to tell potential recruits, they have to wear underwear, not to cuss and not to chew gum at the job interview…. 🙄

It makes you wonder about the potential applicant pool.

Well crap, so much for that dream, haha.

Yes, sad that they have to tell folks not to curse in an interview, but not really that surprising these days.

The underwear thing seems odd. I assume there weren't folks doing the "Basic Instinct" cooch flash during an interview, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the main target is bras?

And I don't remember "visible" undergarments being a thing recently (except bra straps). I do remember when thongs out of the top of pants was a thing. I think that was 25 years ago.

Yes, the applicant pool must be really something.

One common "fashion" I see a lot in some women is deliberately visible bra straps. I don't understand it any more than facial piercings, or huge areas of tattoos. But I am just an old grumpy man.

My first thought was male flight attendants. Perhaps foreign male flight attendants.

Maybe they dont want pants hanging down to the knees with underwear/buttcracks sticking out at the top.

Screw that.

Bring back stewardesses... :p

Visible bra straps I get, cause I have boobs. But pants worn below y'all's butt? That I don't understand at all.

Southwest Airlines...

That's my mom on the left. She always tells us how glamorous that job was in the late 60s when mostly upper class people could fly.

International flights in the late 60's on a brand new 747 were pretty nice...

Concorde or I'm not onboard.

Those Concorde fuselages were SMALL.

Give me a roomy 747.

My now retired wife fight this continually with her staff at the eight medical clinics she managed. Not so much the RN's and LPN's, but the MA's (medical assistants) seemed to like to wear thongs and really skimpy (or sometimes no) bras. Not so bad when they wore the baggy blue scrubs, but they often wore tighter fitting white (almost see through) scrubs. Bright pink, blue, black, etc. thongs were very visible through the white pants. One could often see their nipple rings right through their scrubs, as well as the nipple through which they were mounted. Absolutely unprofessional in a clinic that saw mostly children (it was an asthma and allergy practice). She actually fired a few over this.

Other than my wife (or on a military base), I rarely see a woman under 200 lbs (or man under 250) ...even if 5 ft tall. Even those morbidly obese dress as if they think mountains of flabby, pierced and tattooed exposed flesh is sexy. Apparently wearing pajamas and slippers (or crocs) to the store is a thing too. I dress better to work on my car or cut weeds...and would not go out into public (or answer the doorbell) like that. A diet and some exercise would actually improve their appearance for a lot less money. Please don't show me any more modern "fashion" or your underwear.

<cough, cough, wheeze, wheeze, sniffle> where is this clinic, especially now that your wife isn't there to keep things in check.

Where did she retire from...any particular clinic more egregious than others?

And I am not asking for a friend:D

I went out with a former flight attendant that got her commission and then went to flight school in the Navy, where we met.

She was an excellent pilot and has flown for a major carrier for decades...she went east coast Navy, I went westpac.

She and I over-lapped in San Diego together for three months and I met all her AA flight attendant friends from her days as an FA...they know and see things we don't.

No thongs in sight, just really nice folks...the 80's.

Not doubting your observation, but where the heck do you live? Most people around me aren't fat, let alone obese.

It is like that everywhere Dixie.
