Ben5 I am afraid to say I agree with you..In Australia Virgin Blue Airlines has been a perfect example of this, from the moment myself and other candidates entered the room we were constantly looked up and down - thats all it was about ( some females I was with were extremely upset ). The Questions in the interview had nothing to do with how you would succeed in the position as a flight attendant...it was all about the image...very sad but true.
I do realise that good complexion and grooming is important but Virgin is a perfect example of " Bimbo's of the Sky ". ( Of course there are intelligent genuine f/a's amongst the virgin crews though )
