I haven't been on a plane in years but I thought the flight attendants were always at least cute and thin?? I didn't know they started hiring fat ones. Fuck.
Yep. More fatties, and more older women too. I believe a flight attendant at some point sued for age discrimination (it's a fact that at one time they got pushed aside for younger women), so they can't be fired as long as they perform the duties, regardless of how they look. I'm sure some limits can still be imposed with regards to weight, because it's a fact that the aisles are narrow, and you must be able to negotiate them without having to squeeze through, and be able to sit in those little jump seats. Airlines have also hired more male flight attendants over the years.
