I too was lucky enough to make the 'cut' and was a Flight Attendant from 84 to 91. I had to adhere to pretty strict rules too but they really got lax after the first year which quite frankly, I didn't like. We had some Flight Attendants that looked like they'd partied all night and SLEPT in their uniform when they showed up for the briefing before the flight. If anyone said anything to them they'd 'sick the union on them'. Union can really be the downfall of so many b'nesses. For safety purposes, yes, we needed them, but for appearances, they need to keep their nose out. Consequently we had some HAGS flying and people would mention that. I'm all for having to keep a certain appearance.

The reason they look like they do is the airlines are tired of being sued over not letting these people work. Everything is about discrimination these days instead of accountability, people need to have boundries it is sad that the workforce has to put up with such nonsence. You apply for a job they have conditions, meet those conditions or find something else to do. If you are getting a job working with the public better put your smile on and be ready for it because a lot of people have no respect they feel they are owed something and be prepared to show respect in order to get it, I get tired of rude costomer service these days.
