\\\Finally, if passengers want to look at girls or guys sexually they should go to a strip club.\\\
Strip clubs are not the issue, CHANEL, it is the grooming and appearance of CC that is addressed here.
Older CC who keep themselves in shape, and do the job properly, will always find a job reserved for them...be it senior cabin chief, purser...or serving in cattle class.
The one's I refer to are those folks (mostly female...but some males as well) who just simply seem to ignore the required fitness standards...you know, the overweight ugly gals (and guys) who don't give a damn, thinking (using the term in its broadest sense)...'well I have a job, stuff the passengers, management too.'
Sadly, passengers see this for what it is, and vote with their wallets, as clearly such airlines as SQ/CX have found out a very long time ago.
And speaking of SQ, as I operated for 'em a very long time ago, their policy at the time (and may still be the case), hired their CC on four year contracts.
At the end of same, out the door they went, to be replaced by 20 somethings with more 'eye' appeal,
unless they had senior CC staff potential, and acted / produced accordingly.
Lets really face facts here.
The only
older folks appreciated by the paying passengers are the guys (gals) at the pointy end...firmly planted in the LH seat.
Always has been...always will be.
