Bazzamundi.....You don't have to read this thread do you?

Then again it's no use trying to have a thread about any cabin crew subject when you read inflammatory comments like this from Twiggs with the intention of closing the subject off.The company does not like to see any adverse comments about it's perceived policies...
So packrat, your saying it's a safety requirement to having balding overweight yobbos on the crew?
When you read this and see what the office thinks about male cabin crew then it's difficult for some not to respond.

Twiggs....Yes some men do suffer from hair loss at some point in their lives and not necessarily that old.However,if you are suggesting that women do not suffer from ageing and weight gain then there will be a great number of plastic surgeons and weight loss centres out of a job....

Yes, it is a service industry and yes it is about image but also about efficiency and the end result of customers feeling as though they have received value for money....as well as feeling safe both from the aircraft operational aspect and from the ability of cabin crew to deal with any number of situations than can arise.

Those abilities are not limited to the young.....
