To the person who said we need young, beautiful flight attendants and a sexy airline: We are not onboard to "please" passengers. If you Pigs want a sexy airline, then why don't you charter a flight and invite some hookers or strippers to accompany you. Also, if sex sells on airlines, then why did Hooters Air cease their operations? Huh? Answer that for me!
That´s easy. Hooters failed because they had a horrible business plan and a terrible route structure. Also I´m not talking about hiring strippers or trailer trash girls.
Fly on ANY other airline in the world which isn´t based in the US and you will notice that in general the majority of the FA´s are dressed fashionable and usually are quite beautiful. That is a fact. Go hang out in at an airport in London, Paris, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Rio De Janiero, Prague, etc.......
Regardless of whether you like it or not a youthful, bright, sexy cabin crew attracts business travellers. Why do you think Business travellers would rather fly Singapore or Cathay to Asia than UAL? Or Vigin to europe over AAA? If the price is the same then foreign carriers beat us hands down.
Go to a fancy restaurant or Hotel. Generally the staff is 10 times more presentable than anything you would find on a US airways plane? As for the we´re not here for service we´re here for safety line....that argument has been worn out. I would much rather take my chances with a twenty two year old with 6 months of seniority being responsible for opening the emergency exit during an accident than some 70 year old lady whose been in the bizz for 40 years. So would everybody else.
What i´m getting at without trying to insult you, just being honest, is that our cabin crews look more like a cross section of WalMart employees than say your average W Hotel employee. I think we would do much better business as an airline if HR started hiring the modern, attractive look that you see in employees from say the W Hotel or Nordstroms, etc......
