are you the owner of the channel the richest?

TheTalko that's for the things

Star Anon yeah but completely getting fired for being pregnant isn't fair

Of course it is. Getting knocked up wasn't apart of your promise to come to work everyday. You think it's fair making your coworkers pick up the slack because you made your own personal life decision?

Poor sport you

My favourite comment.

It's not actually They do that so that they can make sure that their employees can fit in small spaces in case of an emergency.

Flying while pregnant is perfectly safe. My mom is an airline pilot and she flew with me for many months. She also has many coworkers who have done the same.

@@madisonmorris7394 but she was a pilot.

now they have a story to tell when they go out drinking with their friends

@@madisonmorris7394 If by chance the plane takes an emergency landing or crashes then there will be a miscarriage because which baby will like iggly biggly(rotating very hard xD) in the stomach.

Nam Yeon-in None of these requirements are racist.

Nam Yeon-in which ones?

This is because airlines expect their FA's to be ''perfect''. And they have the right to do so. and i like it this way. If i had to choose between flying in an airlines with the classic type of FA's and an airlines where FA's are free to do whatever they want with their appareance i would choose the 1st one.

Yea? You try running around in high heels or day

No way most of them dont

mmmkeklol

Dude, I'm not slim in any way and I fit in planes just fine. In my airline, there's loads of chubby attendants, male and female. As long as we can fit in the security chair, it doesn't matter. The reason most airlines require their flight attendants to be slim is sexist, 100%.

it would only be sexist if they would hire men who are fat.

Because some women just have wide hips and doesn't have to be fat.

@Bob Derple Um...what? This has nothing to do with hips.

This is so cute!

Basically you were Emirates Kid..if I'm not wrong bcoz I saw some of the videos on their official channel where they were referring the kiddos as Emirates Kid..and that was so cute..🥺

​@@virginialangford6257But true. As a former flight attendant, she makes it make sense and can explain why it is the way it is.

Nam Yeon-in which one is racist?

Julia Gungor the marriage one is also right, yea, of course not easy, but it's better for the crews and their employer, as they have to travel all the time and they won't have a balanced routine and it could affect the crew member's marriage and relatively their quality of service, that's one of the reasons that they are paid very well.

I missed out because of height 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@jessicabourke5453 How tall are you ?

Very true!

Lmao lol

The teeth will no gaps rules kinda sucks though. I actually have no control over that. Guess I can’t be a flight attendant 🥺

Some Cynic Um? I’m sorry WHY exactly is that a strange requirement? I’m not sure if you’ve ever even been on a plane before, but one of the tasks of a stewardess is to make sure that the overhead bins are closed for safety reasons. You clearly haven’t done any research considering how ‘strange’ this comment is lmao.

@@ash-gw7es it's just a reference to how the video called it "strange" while most of them are pretty resonable.

ash He has cynic in the name.

For my airline you just have to be able to lift a 50 pound luggage bag over your head. I know of no American airline that forces you to squeeze into an overhead bin. Must be an overseas airline only thing.

ash Maybe you should research sarcasm?

I was thinking the same. Something like flats would be just as professional (not to mention comfortable) and far more logical.

This is an other culture country, we can't judge them :(

married means that you will get pregnant and not be able to work. further more i dont want to see a pregnant flight attendant.

Flight attendants also have to be away from their home for days and if they are married, it can be really difficult for them.

@Emily Cooper 😂😂 With that attitude, you can’t even board a plane let alone being a flight attendant!😅

@@alsadacharlton762 We don't care what you want to see. Also, there are married people who don't want kids

Oh I thought it was so they could walk through the aisles in the pane because the aisles are super skinny

Agreed, maximum weight requirement is justified in this industry. They measure every pound of fuel and every pound of cargo going onto the plane. But such limits should be applied to all employees on aircraft, including pilots.

But some people just have heavier bones than another. For example my mom told me she was quite slim when she was younger (basically before having kids; me and my brother)... so her doctor was always surprised when she had her check-ups because she always weighted much more than she looked for... yep, heavy bones.

Simmie X Then in that case you shouldn’t be a flight attendant

MarvelousMavika I’m just saying that heavy doesn’t always equal fat.

The flight attendants don't have weight limits. They have body type and bmi limits. If they said "you must weigh under 180 pounds for loading capacity reasons," that would be a safety standard. And it would also apply to the pilots 🙄 saying "you must be proportional" means "we want you to look a certain way"

It depends what kind of weight requirements they have. Of course you should be able to move through the plane without getting stuck, but you are not a safety hazard when you are 15 kg overweight.

In your experience arab men have guilt when hitting on married women?

Mariam it not there fault

The relationship of married attendants with their spouses could be ruined in some way. The attendant's performance could also be affected. Maybe because of longing their partners company. So that's one reason why.

@@brinettevalorie4554 The reasons that you list could apply equally to men. Then again they are ridiculous anyway. With your reasoning no married people should ever work! LOL

@@cataderian, Yup, that's why I said 'married attendants' ;P

And think of how a person with morbid obesity (or anorexia) would be moving around, handling luggage and surviving emergency...

Little fighter panda Exactly! If they're skinny to the point of it affecting their health, they should be let go. If they're overweight to the point of it really affecting their health, they should be let go.

Ofc they are right but special snow flakes are offended.

You can be in a healthy overall condition and still be somewhat overweight. There are conditions some people have that mean they're overweight no matter how much they eat healthy and excesize because that's just what their body does.

MegaKaitouKID1412 Yep, but they're still healthy. What they really should do is get a health check up, and even then sometimes it's obvious if the person is so obese that it's either hard for them to walk, or they're too big to work in a plane.

It's not only a matter of looking good or to be able to fit in the narrow spaces between the rows of seats. It's also a matter of money : the heavier you are, the more it will require fuel for the plane. I know, it sounds silly, but quite a few companies replaced plane manuels by tablets to save weight, therefore fuel. So I'm pretty sure it goes for the flying personnel.

You don't have to have straight teeth to ba accepted,you can do anything you want,and if you are really worried about it,you can try medical Braces!

So if the flight attendant did not wear heals or had cornrows instead of weave, all of the sudden your life would be in danger?

@@soniquecat4745 Why are you bringing race into this? Why would you consider cornrows not "pretty hair"? And also, everyone who considers being a flight attendant won't complain over those rules, they all make sense. You're looking for a reason to be mad.

@@soniquecat4745 A nice outfit that you could work in is okay, as well as a good look, but heels are not helpful in emergency situations where you have to run, in performing CPR, delivering children, or in any other medical emergency, restraining an out of control passenger, fighting someone(s) in a hostile takeover, lifting someone over your shoulder to them carry out in an evacuation, or helping someone into a raft. (All duties of a stewardess/flight attendant). While working as a school nurse, we all had to watch a video of a supposed woman nurse practitioner who was very pretty and stylish with impeccable make-up and hair style, dealing with different medical emergencies. Along with wearing a white lab coat, she was wearing high heels on her way to an emergency. The group of nurses called out together how laughable it was that she was wearing high heels in her position. They noted how impracticable it was to wear heels in any medical or nursing role, especially when you would have to hurry to an emergency. There is no reason that an airline can't come up with stylish, classy looking shoes without high heels, which could be practical in a stewardess' line of work.

@@busyfloornurse mam they have cabin shoes..they don't wear high heels on board you know so much about the job of a cabin crew how did you missed this one....

For some of these rules, that makes sense. But the weight one or marriage one? Maybe passengers feel more comfortable with skinny flight attendants, but that's their own fatphobia and sexism that's the issue. The flight attendants shouldn't be excluded because the passengers are sexist.

milkjamjuice the “court heel” shoes are a dangerous and sexist requirement. Female flight attendants who are responsible for the passengers lives will be required to go barefoot in the event of an emergency landing, because heels puncture emergency exit slides. For safety, all flight attendants SHOULD be required to wear flats. Some flight attendant unions have been fighting to get this ridiculous and unsafe dress code changed.

Flight attendants aren't professionals they're air waitresses (with survival training) that are still, in general, treated like waitresses in rural Bosnia are. Meaning that they ought to be pretty and the male customer should be given something to wank off to in the plane loo if he so chooses. Also, anyone who must wear hight heels as part of her uniform and can't replace them with flats without getting in trouble isn't a professional, they're very, very low at the corporate ladder. Same goes for make up. If you can't choose not to plaster yourself with make up you aren't a professional woman. BTW, as I was mulling over if I were too harsh on the industry, after all we all love seeing beautiful people, I read Kate's comment. So, the plane companies will sacrifice safety to have their flight attendants look sexier! (The only purpose of high heels is to make a woman taller, elongate her legs, and make her walk sexier). Enough said.

Name 5 companies that don’t allow more than 2 rings per hand...and go!

@@KateSitka I'm Navy Officer and I have to wear camo and boots: men outfit! That could be considered sexist as well because I can't show up my beauty. So, I think each job has the good and the bad.

Making money.

lol

L R ...... oh my god that is a horrible and rude thing to say.... no one is perfect and your obiously not... #beforeyouspeak

Mary SaysHey hahahaha I would feel safe and would not mind to die next to a pretty fight attender

its not that u wouldn't mind, its that you would feel more secure during the flight psychology says :)

L R okay, i'm offended

Laura it’s just that these people are working on board for a very long time since it’s a fixed government job with Min age requirement to be 55 years. And I guess they don’t monitor the weight and grooming of their crew

It was sexist and the aisles of the aircraft are not small that is why they are called wide bodied jets. The aisles on these aircrafts are pretty wide.

@@nazarethp9248 show me the sexist, I cant find it anywhere.

@@nazarethp9248 the wide body is to make the passengers comfy we dont need a log plugging the aisles

​@@nazarethp9248That's not what wide body means.

Yup and their body might hit the passengers while passing through!😂😅

Antonio Ferrer true lol

Heels are not logical whatsoever. Sensible flats, yes. Not allowed to get married? Stupid.

1. Heels make no sense. It just increases your risk of falling. 2. There's nothing unprofessional about dreadlocks, cornrows or mohawks. Just because I don't have straight hair I can't be a flight attendant? Bullshit. 3. Why can't you be married? It might be hard to see your husband as a flight attendant, but it doesn't interfere with your job.

Some of them are pretty strange and discriminatory.

No Role Modelz Yesss finally said thanksss

No Role Modelz well said !

HAHAHA

Well said! People become touchy when it comes to body image but when it comes to safety sometimes a healthy weight is beneficial

This comment was probably the best I've read in a long time

Yes

No they just want to be available to come on flights

It's all about the business , if they had majorly female passenger ridership then I would put mostly all male stewards to cater and pamper them for business purposes

Same here! Seems pretty reasonable to me

+Julia Gungor Yes Julia the marriage one., Because one way or another they will wind up getting pregnant which airlines sure don't want.,

I don't believe that small tattoos bother anyone, especially if you are willing to hide them with make up

Well, I disagree. Personally, I dislike tattoos in any shape or size with or without makeup But that is not just my opinion, there are a lot of people who agree with me. When I see someone who I think looks nice/cute etc. Then I am like she looks "hot". I would give her 8/10 (Very good looking). And then I suddenly see a tattoo (even the small ones) that grade drops immediately to a 4 [(Please disappear out of my sight now (without delay)].

Not true, you (a) do not need to be married to have children. And (b) you do need to have children when you're married. There is no such law in existence in "modern" countries. And I do agree on that airlines don't want pregnant people but it's not that being or not being married will solve that issue.

The teeth will no gaps rule kinda sucks though. I actually have no control over that. 🥺

I think they are the same person

Shelsie Vancalster you need to learn more English*

stan monsta dix hy i know my english is not perfect im trying to learn it

Shelsie Vancalster I know I'm just trying to help 😊

but most people have 10 so only 6 fingers will be ring less

Never heard of a thumb ring?

Uff why would you put 4+rings while u r working? I think that would be pretty uncomfortable. especially in this kind of work...😐

In Europe if you get pregnant as cabin crew you’ll be grounded , you don’t lose your job. They can let you do some work on the ground ( check in , administration , etc). After giving birth you can fly again.

Literally no other airline has a problem with flight attendants doing the 100% normal human thing of having children, so that's no excuse. Also, women have kids and keep their jobs every single day, so no, they wouldn't've quit because of a pregnancy. In fact, supporting another human beings mean they need to retain their job more than before once they become pregnant. It's called maternity leave-- just like a random injury might necessitate leave from a job to heal, carrying around another human and then pushing it out of your vagina, something that women have to do at an average rate of 2 times in their lifetime to sustain the human population (let's be fair-- we could do to reduce that average for a while on a worldwide level, but in rich countries the birthrate often does not reach the level of sustaining the country's population so...) should get you some leave from your job.

It certainly does make sense to tell the airline you're pregnant so that you can switch to the ground crew etc. In Germany, it's against the law to fire women who are pregnant, on maternity protection (it starts 6 weeks before the estimated d.o.b and ends 8 weeks after birth) or on parental leave. Parental leave can last up to 3 years. I'm glad to live in Germany :)

In the Navy if you get pregnant, you'll go immediately to a base. It's about Mom and Baby health.

a 'normal' job wouldn't affect the baby the same way as a high altitude (different air pressure) job would

@Rachel Zhao...…...If the pregnancy is normal you can fly up to 36 weeks, there is no danger to the woman nor baby. Being pregnant doesn't get in the 'way', I have worked as a flight attendant with pregnant colleagues and they work harder than some of those that are not pregnant!

Also bmi is really tricky. Some people have more muscle weight which may make it seem like there overweight, but there not. I know people who are technically considered overweight, except all these people are athletes and all there weight comes from muscle

Oh please any normal, balanced diet and exercise routine is extreme to fat fucks who like stuffing their face all day. You would know

The reason for the weight requirement is for easy maneuverability. Most airplane "corridors" are quite thin, and hard to move through for overweight or "big-boned" people. If somebody is in urgent need of something, then you would have to be able to maneuver through these "corridors" quickly.

ashton vickers the heels most stewardesses wear are really small though. I’m a stewardess trainee and we wear the smallest 3cm heels there are. Even dudes could walk in those lmao

Of course! Yet people complain because they are selfish bastards.

Julia Gungor Of course that's extrange...It only means this video is MISLEADING, as I said.

Janed Herrera indeed! That's why they are being paid well👍🏻

Julia Gungor All doesn't matter the salary if you work for the service for others. Service occupations don't get you money, that's for sure, and all the onez who work for a service compañy knows it in advance.

Janed Herrera oh! I didn't know that... 🤔

"size restriction on earnings". Freudian slip? LOL
