Do you have to be beautiful to become a flight attendant?

-Just wondering cause I'm considering doing that.I haven't seen a beautiful flight attendant in years. They're all ugly, pissed off old hags/younger future hags that ALWAYS have a confrontational attitude when you have the misfortune of asking them a question.



So no, clearly this is not a requirement anymore. In fact I bet they hire ugly ones due to some sort of ugly girl affirmative action.
Yes you do need to be an attractive female. I mean of course they can not straight up say they only hire good looking females because that is discrimination, but they do only hire good looking females. Oh, and good luck getting a job as a flight attendant. Applicants show up by the thousands. Literally.
No, but it can't hurt. On the whole, most flight attendants are pretty average in looks but very few are overweight. Some of the best FA jobs are on high-dollar international corporate jets. Many corporate operators hire very attractive FA's who also have college degrees, EMT certification and multiple languages. A good appearance is what their wealthy clients expect. .
perhaphs it depends on the country. According to a relative of mine (she lives in Germany), she has never seen "unbeautiful" or "unattractive" flight attendants on an airplane yet.

Judge for yourself.
No you don't need to. I seen many ugly ones.
I don't see why you couldn't you look fine from your picture, but I don't think there are many FAs left, airlines keep cutting costs.
Definitely not. On the last BA flight i took all the FA's were pretty plain to be honest ~ though all hard working women who took good care of their pasengers (Thanks Marie, you are great).
Anyone can become a flight attendant. The airlines in the U.S. do not discriminate based on looks or anything else. However If they did I'm sure you'd still get the job! ;)
No, just presentable and good with rude people. You are a pretty girl anyway.
Not from looking at Donald, the FA on our helicopter shuttle.
Not at my airline.
That would be discrimination
no, there are even male flight attendants and I doubt they are "beautiful"
Yes you do and no you are not!
baby your all ready beautiful =] <3
