A major airline recently released a two-page memorandum outlining the rules its flight attendants, indeed those who want to work for the company, must follow, including reminding flight attendants to wear… underwear!
The reason for the American Delta Airlines and her memorandum entitled “Delta Air Lines Flight Attendant Hiring Appearance Requirements Confirmation»explained that while staff must be “passionate” in customer service and help where they can, they must also be “caring”.
So if you want to work at Delta, you have to take care of your “personal cleanliness and hygiene” every day, which includes hair that needs to be combed. Also, as we read, eyelashes should not be “extreme” as in “length and volume”. Also, you probably won’t be able to work at Delta Air Lines if you have tattoos on your arms, neck, or face.
Most interesting, however, is the airline’s strict dress code.
The memo outlined the criteria applicants must meet, as you’ll see below: “Appropriate undergarments must be worn, but must not be visible to passengers. Attire should be professional and fit properly. Dresses and skirts should be knee length or below.’
At the end it says: “Shoes must be closed, with or without a heel.” Sneakers are not allowed. A tie is essential for those who choose to wear a men’s uniform.”
The following list generally includes, but is not limited to, the in-flight appearance of Delta Air Lines flight attendants
