The training program for Emirates isn't two weeks, it's two months 😂

[syrop]

I haven't forgotten to subscribe. I've simply never had an intention to do it.

[ddzybjb]

I think that all of these are pretty reasonable except the stuffing a woman in the overhead bin part

[soyyban]

My dad works for emirates (the company on the thumbnail) and basically he got me a little version of a cabin crew outfit when I was 5 or 6 and basically I asked one day if I could wear it on the plane and he said yes, since that day I was basically nicknamed by every cabin crew I met, the mini worker

[bandom]

the pregnancy one is reasonable cuz you arent supposed to fly while pregnant it is dangerous for the himan being growing inside of you

jeenie weenie did a way better job at explaining flight attendant stuff

Top ten STRANGEST requirements for being a flight attendant:

Number 1: You must be able to reach the overhead bins!

[ainsleyjohnson]

I don't think any of these are too strict, mostly because people will complain about any flaw they can find to get something beneficial to them, so of course the airlines would be strict about their employees.

[mmmkeklol]

For most part i don't even see a problem with the rules, like the weight thing, you have to be able to move inside plane without getting your hips stuck between chairs, its only normal, how tf is that sexist.

"At Emirates Airline, they put a lot of emphasis on the way their attendants look"
Yeah, I can already see that.

[beccat]

Nobody:
China:*shoves attendants into overhead bins*

[lucygirl]

The people who complain about these rules are people that are never even considering a career as a flight attendant.

[williamshinn]

I wonder if Britney did this for the song Toxic

[alyk]

The married rule is insane! Whose business is it if you date or are married?!

[dare]

requiring female flight attendants to wear heels is silly and unsafe. if theres an emergency situation, the attendants will have to choose between wobbling around in heels or going barefoot :/

[annihilatingrhythm]

I think the weight requirement is justified. A plane can only carry so much weight. In other lines of work, it is discriminatory. But with airplanes, there are weight restrictions.

[marinad]

Damn, I have a whole new respect for flight attendants

[carolevonaarberg]

Back in the day, circa 1978, I went to support a friend to an 'open interview' for a new airline in the UK, I was picked out of the line, as ideal height 171/5'7" and I was at the time a dental nurse. I did not want to be a flight attendant then called a stewardess as I felt I could not deal with the time changes. My friend still reminds me of that time every time we meet, like for 40 years now!

[giedre]

I love to see flight attendants that are always put together. They look very professional and it makes you feel that you are the part of that luxury.

the weight and height requirement is sensible for safety reasons. just lie on a boat, airplanes have weight limits.
