Wtf ever happened to good looking Stewardesses/flight crews? This dog pound looks like a fucking horrorshow.

I mean, really- is this supposed to make me want to fly this airline, much less care about their flabby, nasty teats?

Marketing gone wrong, bros.
 


Unions happened.

Asia is still on point. No job for anyone over 26 or so on Air Asia.
 
C'mon, as a gay webmaster you should have a massive chubby with all of the pickle kisser "stewards" flying the friendly skies. There are far more homozegjewel male flight attendants than really ugly female flight attendants.
 
I took a flight from Cape Town to Dubai on Emirates and all flight attendants were probably 22-26 and 10's. All of them. I was in shock.

This is actually a pretty interesting effect of government intervention being taken out of the question. Back when airline prices were fixed and the airline industry was highly regulated the only way companies could compete was on service, so they made a big deal out of the crews and how attractive the women were, it was one of the ways to distinguish your brand.

Since the airline industry is a lot more free now, and price is something airlines compete on a lot more than service, the attractiveness of crews matter a lot less.
 
It changed when the assholes back in coach decided to start fighting over leg room and leaned back seats on every fucking flight. Gotta have some big motherfuckers on the crew to break that shit up.
 
My wife is a flight attendant. When she was hired 25 yrs ago, she was tiny, and had to weigh in every 3 months. 2 failed weigh ins and she was fired...

Then a discrimination lawsuit was filed, and that was that.

She, with 25 yrs experience, is only half way up the seniority list of flight attendants with one of the larger airlines. It is a job that pays so well for little work that no one retires if they do not have to. When over half the flight attendants have over 25 yrs experience, and a base like LA the average seniority is nearly 40 yrs, the looks and width of a flight attendant is not what it used to be.

tl;dr lawsuits and benefits are why flight attendants are old and fat.
