At the airline I fly for, there never used to be any hosties... Yes I know this is a shock for you but it's true.
Anyway we expanded, acquired larger aircraft and eventually hosties became a requirement so a "Head Hostie" was hired to come up with a recruitment plan.
One of the pilots soon became "friendly" with her and the others would regularly parade through her office to say "Hi" on the way to and from the aircraft.
Often, she had piles........... of applications for the position of hostie from countless hopefuls on the desk in front of her and we would all provide input, normally based solely on the 7x9 glossies provided, on whom should be hired.
Fortunately this Head Hostie was a team-player and our advice was often taken. So, flush with success as recruiters, some of the more creative amongst our ranks took upon themselves the task of assisting in uniform design.
By far, the most popular suggestion was thigh-length leather boots and a throw-away one-piece Glad-wrap outfit with a low cut top.
In the end, wowserism prevailed and the best we could do was to influence one of the two shirt (blouse????) options. This one became the favourite of the pilots and hosties and featured a top button somewhere down around the wearer's (usually pierced) belly-button.
We have a good time at *********. Unlike the rat.
