what a hot stewardess might wear at work

The point we are missing is who wants a size 28 flight attendant anyway. That would seem to me to be a real hazard during an emergency evacuation. It is bad enough to have passengers that size, but a 280+ pound man or woman trying to wedge himself or herself into the small area to open the over wing window is just plain dangerous.

I was just thinking the same thing. A flight attendant has to be able to help in the event of an evacuation, not function as a cork bottling up the emergency exit. Plus, if they're wider than the food and beverage trolley, imagine the chaos that would create whenever food and drinks are served. Crushed toes from the trolley, and the sound of men weeping as their overpriced beers are knocked to the ground in defeat before they've had a chance to party in their livers.

I just took a flight on United where my stewardess was wider than the trolley AND wider than the aisle. Every time she went by, her ass smacked me in the arm or shoulder. All. Farking. Flight. And during the (mercifully short) beverage service, her ass was in my face for a full 10 minutes while everyone got their partial can of juice and someone ran back to the galley 3 separate times for 3 snackboxes. Of course, she was a biatch, too, and insisted on blessing people and pushing the Left Behind series (and its theology) on her long-suffering co-worker.

For me, it has nothing to do with aesthetics. Hell, I'm fat (but not wider than the aisle of a Boeing 757). If the plane had crash-landed and people had to get out, there was no way any of us were going to be able to wedge ourselves past that ass of biblical proportions.

/wat.

Um, since when is a size 18 NOT considered plus-size? Doesn't that really start at like, 14? 16, tops? I worked at a dry cleaners when I was a lad and remember chuckling at Lane Bryant clothes marked S that were in reality about a size 24(at the time, since womens clothes sizes work on a sliding scale over the years, ie, todays 18 is yesteryears 24). So yeah. I wish I could have lived back in the days when stewardesses were all glamorous and one could smoke on a plane. Not that I'd smoke on a commercial flight now, were it allowed, cause that's just rude, but back then....a smoke, a martini, a hot stewardess...Good times.

...better than starting at size 4 like some "designers" think it does...

At the risk of my eyes....What does a size 18 look like? I'm a guy, your silly measurement system makes no sense to me. 28? (It sounds pretty freakin big)

Apparently "plus-size" now starts at size 18

Plus size starts at 14W, which is like a 16 Misses.

Anyway, TFA says that other colors are available up to size 28--it's just the red dress that isn't. So this isn't even a matter of size 28 flight attendants not being able to work--it's that they can't get that one color.

Farking unions--this is one of many reasons why I hate them. Frivolous grievances.

/Was a member of 2 unions (NEA when I taught HS & CWA when I was a sales rep for Verizon Yellow Pages), neither voluntarily.
//Don't ask me why sales reps needed a union--I never could figure it out.

Size friggin 28!! Do commercial looms make cloth that wide? I'm a size 18 and loathe shopping for clothes because of my bad eating and general laziness. I cannot imagine what would make someone 5 sizes larger than me want to have a job that much out in the public eye. Thank you IT for telecommuting.

brigid_fitch: Plus size starts at 14W, which is like a 16 Misses.

Considering how narrow the aisles are on a plane, how could anyone wearing a size 28 possibly work in such cramped quarters? If she turned to face you, everyone on the opposite side of the aisle would be smashed up against the window by her gigantic posterior.

I'm just gonna throw this out there...but, If you are pushing the upper 20's in clothing size, I'm pretty sure you are gonna have difficulty even fitting down those tiny ass airplane aisles, thus having difficulty performing your duties. Your type of dress should be the least of your worries. I encountered this problem in nursing school. We had a woman in my class that threw a fit because we picked a graduation uniform that didn't come in tent size. We ended up having to pick a whole new uniform just to accomadate her and the biatch didn't show up for graduation anyway!

And 0 needs a sammich, ICK.

vertiaset: Hey young people. There was a time when air travel was glamorous and exclusive. You ate from china, the Stewardesses were all pretty young women. Service was how the airlines competed with one another. Even in coach you had room to stretch out and relax. People dressed up to travel. Men wore suits, women nice dresses. You rarely saw children on flights and when you did they were well behaved and quiet. Poor people didn't fly, they road the bus.

/it was a golden age.

Did they let you take your onion through security?

I'm Female, 5'8" and 185 lbs - ~20 lbs over weight. I wear a 14 (when I have to wear women's over priced, poorly made clothing)
18 IS a plus size.
I can understand not wanting little twiggy girls as flight attendants in case they have to lift something bigger than a cup of ice, but a size 18 id too big for reasons people already mentioned here.

but 0 is a farking skeleton!

The sooner we start publicly shaming lardasses the better off we will be as a society. Unfortunately, here in the Chicago area, fit and trim people are the minority. A few weeks ago, I visited a Culver's restaurant in the suburbs (home of the butterburger) and I swear everyone in there was twice as big as me.

I never understood why stewardesses can't be hot. It's not like the ugly ones are especially effective. How come Hooters (and similar establishments) can get away with discriminating based on attractiveness, but not airlines? The average Hooters offers more competent food and beverage service with attractive girls that PRETEND TO BE NICE TO YOU.

In real life it's normally the attractive girls that are biatches and the fat ugly girls that are nicer because they have to be. So you go to Hooters where hot girls will flirt with you while they bring you fattening food, in some sort of fantasy world where you can have your cake and eat it.

The union spokeswoman said that being a flight attendant was about safety and not sexiness. But if that were the case, shouldn't the flight attendants be at physical fitness level of fire fighters?

How do they even get fat? Is the airplane food that irresistible?

AbbeySomeone: What confuses me is size 14 or whatever with P for petite. Don't they mean short and squat?
12/14 are the first sizes to sell out.

Yup, And there are also WP sizes. In women's clothing you have three cuts. There's juniors which is for someone with and waist and hip that are similar in measurement. Typically these are cut in smaller sizes. Misses sizes are cut for someone with a smaller waist and larger hips, and women's for folks with a larger belly than hip.

Sort of like slim, regular, and husky in little boys' pants.

Wouldn't want a 0 either.

I always thought plus started at 16. Granted, the only women I've ever dated enough to go shopping for clothes with have been 2-8, so I don't really have a comparison...

Like I said before, the industry considers everything over a 10 an "extended size." And there's a difference between a misses 18 and an 18w.

So wait, they post an article about it, yet they are too lazy to bother to post a picture of the dress?

Um...Could someone please tell me how much you would weigh if you wear a size 28. I tried to google it but that didn't work so well for me. Thanks.

You'd think airlines could put a limit on their pilots and stewardess' weights to some reasonable limit. After all we hear of airlines cutting a single chocolate from the dinner tray for economic reasons, so excising pounds of lard needlessly flown between destinations makes perfect sense.

Always fly foreign airlines whenever possible, America has some of the worst in the world. Fly any Asian airline, every single one of the stewardesses is young, thin and friendly. No fatties, biatches, or old people need apply.

Well, let's see. My mom wore a size 24 for a while. She is 5'6" and weighed like 290-300 then. So if you take the estimate that 10 pounds is a pants size, 5'6" and 320-330 would get you to a size 28 or roughly there abouts.

I'm not saying they are bad people, but Jesus we as a nation need to wake up and do something more than just blaming HFCS and wiping our hands of it.

It isn't just women fatties as flight attendants. I was on A NW flight, and the male flight attendant has a huge, wide rear end, with a belly almost as big. He had to sidle up and down the aisle, as he couldn't walk facing straight forward or back without being wedged tightly between the seats. A lot of good he would have been in an emergency. Plus he was a crabby biatch.

Thanks to union negotiations, no airlines no longer can have weight restrictions or weigh-ins. What happens when one of the male attendants wants to wear a dress? Will it be discrimination if the airline says, uh, no?

One of my old bosses was a PanAm stewardess in the 50's. She had certain weight and other restrictions that she had to abide by... kind of like a model. If you were on the lower end, you went to Des Moines. If you were on the upper end you went on overseas routes, like London or Paris. Apparently she was on the upper end, but when I knew her she was in her 60s... but she liked to reminisce about the old times.

Different times now. Flying is basically a Greyhound in the sky. You cannot complain about fat and ugly flight attendants, when the passengers are wearing t-shirts, shorts and Tevas and are often unruly. Almost every week you hear about a flight being diverted due to some jackass starting something on a flight.

When smoking was allowed on commercial flights, it was easier to find air leaks because there would be a tar build-up around the tiny hole.

Oh for fark's sake... While there is indeed such thing as "small" size X, the reality is quite opposite. The designer labels keep sliding sizes up, so that today size 4 is yesterday's 6 or 8, so that the increasingly fat population feels better. She claims it's the other way around.

I wasn't aware that the male ideal was a size 12...

A random and probably unintended consequence of union rules: I've found that the crappier the aircraft and the destination, the more attractive the flight attendants. I assume this is because the younger ones have less seniority on average, and thus get stuck with less desirable routes.

That anorexic woman in the shot above might wear a size 0, but it would be baggy on her. That is unless she's 5'9 or above. I'm 5'5, wear a size 2 and I'm nowhere near that skinny. I have DD boobs! And no, my clothes are not too tight.

How you doin?

Earl of Chives: not to mention the enormous drag upon our economy they cause

How? They buy more food, more expensive clothes (manufacuters mark them up because, they can; seriously, what else are we gonna wear?) and more DVDs, video games and other sedentary entertainment products than thin people. Bigger cars, often. More over-the-counter drugs and specialized equipment for their obesity-related discomforts. Etc., etc., and etc. And if they're like me, they're paying for a gym membership so as to reach a level of fitness not to have to shell out all that cash. (I have a normal car and a normal appetite, actually, but must cop to the large-size clothes and sedentary entertainment, and being too lazy to cook healthy food more often. Sloth is my favorite deadly sin, not gluttony).

and just the visual pollution of them being in public

Oh come on...chances are you're butt-ugly too, just in different ways. For instance, ugly normal-sized men (and even ugly fat ones) are the ones who complain the most about how fat women shouldn't show themselves. Listen to one at the beach sometime, but don't look; you'll vomit.

and never taking responsibility for the problems they cause.

Irresponsible people with senses of entitlement make up a larger percentage of any given statistical group than those who are not that way. Or so I have observed.

I'm not saying they are bad people, but Jesus we as a nation need to wake up and do something more than just blaming HFCS and wiping our hands of it.

With you there. If you don't want HFCS, avoid it. I do. Why'm I still fat? It's complicated, and yes, American food quality, medical problems and my shiatty genetics are part of it, but I did a lot of this myself. Could have worked a bit harder around the obstacles. Didn't.

/but i'm losing weight
//suck it, biatches

Heresay evidence, but:

I overheard a NWA worker who basically said there was almost no chance the Northwest flight attendants would vote for unionization in the new company, partially because the former Northwest employees fear unofficial reprisals, and partially because they found out that Delta employees had a much better deal than they did, "despite" not being in a union. Apart from the pilots union (which is more of a guild than a union anyway) we should expect the future Delta to be mostly ununionized. Again, only what I overheard, can't personally vouch for it.

This is only speculation, but I suspect the union official was picking on some silly issue to show the workforce what a union can "do" for them. I also suspect that the new Delta has a unwritten policy to mix former Northwest and former Delta employees together as much as possible, so that Delta employees can tell Northwest's how much better their own jobs are.

the pressurization alone would cause an explosion. of fatness.

When they went from being stewards and stewardess to 'flight attendant' is precisely when commercial air travel began its downward slide to the cattle transport it is today.

FTA: "But the job isn't about being sexy. It's about safety."

This woman represents everything wrong with the modern aviation industry.

Weidermeijer: One of my old bosses was a PanAm stewardess in the 50's. She had certain weight and other restrictions that she had to abide by... kind of like a model. If you were on the lower end, you went to Des Moines. If you were on the upper end you went on overseas routes, like London or Paris. Apparently she was on the upper end, but when I knew her she was in her 60s... but she liked to reminisce about the old times.


They also would have inspections where they would have to weigh in and walk back and forth past their supervisors who would pick at how they looked. They couldn't be married, either. One of my flight attendants used to work for them back in the day and was telling me about how finicky they were. I have to say, the lady still looks damn good for her age, they picked the good ones.

Today, they pay them nothing and as long as they can do the demos, know where the emergency eqipment is located, and can open the doors, they are good to go. There is no mandatory retirement age, so you still have these old battle axes in their late 60's and 70's who trod to work a couple times a month (international) just for something to do. Since the hot, young ones don't have the uber senority to fly to the best places and get stuck with the shiat schedules and overnights, they don't stick around as long (usually). And the cycle repeats itself.

drxym- You'd think airlines could put a limit on their pilots and stewardess' weights to some reasonable limit. After all we hear of airlines cutting a single chocolate from the dinner tray for economic reasons, so excising pounds of lard needlessly flown between destinations makes perfect sense.

I was watching an old movie where the people got on the plane before getting a ticket. Once the plane was leaving, a steward came through the isle and everyone paid him.

I saw that same system on a train when I was a kid. I wonder if they still do it that way.

Not all size 0's are a bag of antlers. I'm 5'3, small-boned, and a size 0. I like to think of myself as a normal, small size. If I weighed 115, I'd look a little overweight. Of course someone is going to be discustingly skinny if they are a size 0 and 6 feet tall.

I saw them in action on a NWA flight last weekend.

YEow.

There was a plus sized stewardess, she didn't wear one.

Size 28? For fark's sake, sky waitresses are generally small in stature for practical reasons. Airplanes are small!!! A size 28 wouldn't be a good "fit" for the position any more than a 6'6" person would.

Size 18 is fat.

You_mean_Im_gonna_stay_this_color: zero vs 18

Sorry subby. Size 18 is fatty

Both are unattractive, for different reasons.

I wouldn't want to have either body, they both seem unhealthy.

Size 18 is for fat people. Fat people shouldn't be employed as flight attendants. It's pretty simple; inefficient use of space and fuel. Probably want to cut out the overly tall as well.

AbbeySomeone: lstywnch: brigid_fitch: Plus size starts at 14W, which is like a 16 Misses.

When I still worked in retail selling women's clothing they actually had 10Ws.

What confuses me is size 14 or whatever with P for petite. Don't they mean short and squat?
12/14 are the first sizes to sell out.

The horrible truth about women's pants is that the tag doesn't really give you any idea whether it will fit or not. Sometimes an 18 fits me. Sometimes it doesn't, depending on the brand and the cut within the brand.

Sometimes P means "asian girl petite" which means short and skinny. Sometimes P means "short fat chick". One will not fit the other. Sometimes Small means skinny chick, sometimes it means chick with a short torso, sometimes it means "build of an 8-year-old boy".

One factor is the length of the rise, the distance from the bottom of the crotch to the waist. I need a short rise, else pants all look like I'm trying to be gangsta, or they bunch up and make me look like I'm sporting a man's package.

Men's pants have 2 numbers, waist and inseam. It means something concrete -- length in inches. Women's pants...it's totally arbitrary. The number 18 or 14 or 28 doesn't mean anything concrete. Neither does P or R or W or any of the other stupid letters they put on the tags.

End result, women have to try pants on before they know if they fit, and probably will have to try a dozen before finding something they can wear. We don't spend hours shopping because we like it, but because we have no choice.

Found this whilst GIS'ing for "size 28". So I think this might help us understand what that size looks like.

TheGreatZarquon: Grouchyoldman: The point we are missing is who wants a size 28 flight attendant anyway. That would seem to me to be a real hazard during an emergency evacuation. It is bad enough to have passengers that size, but a 280+ pound man or woman trying to wedge himself or herself into the small area to open the over wing window is just plain dangerous.

I was just thinking the same thing. A flight attendant has to be able to help in the event of an evacuation, not function as a cork bottling up the emergency exit. Plus, if they're wider than the food and beverage trolley, imagine the chaos that would create whenever food and drinks are served. Crushed toes from the trolley, and the sound of men weeping as their overpriced beers are knocked to the ground in defeat before they've had a chance to party in their livers.


And safety issues aside, have you checked the price of jet fuel recently? I can't see any airline wanting to pay to constantly haul a stewardess who weighs as much as 3 normal passengers.

They should get paid less the more they weigh, as it takes more fuel to move more fat. I mean if you're going to charge a size 28 customer for two seats, you should only pay a size 28 attendant half.

cherryl taggart: Size friggin 28!! Do commercial looms make cloth that wide?

A woman who wears 18 could also fit into a mans 36 jeans. If she is wide hipped, she still looks ok. If she is narrow hipped and it's all belly, well, you probably wouldn't want it unless you were drinking.

Misha80: They should get paid less the more they weigh, as it takes more fuel to move more fat. I mean if you're going to charge a size 28 customer for two seats, you should only pay a size 28 attendant half.

True enough. Most of my pants/skirts are an 8, but I have size 6 and size 10 as well, and they all fit about the same. I have skirts in small and medium. My underwear is small and x-small. It really depends on what the designer made. My fiancee used to ask me what size I wear, and he thought I was being coy and weird, so I showed him all the random tags.

It would be so much easier if we could just buy clothes like guys do, but then certain designers wouldn't be able to feed our egos by making their smaller number sizes bigger than others.

@ 5'8" I weigh 165 lbs and while strong, I'm far from big or "heavily muscled". 5'10" and 110 for a dude has got to be freaky skinny.

Something tells me that with you the arm shape is more defined by the shaft of the humerus than the muscles, likewise the shoulder probably looks like your acromion (shoulder bone)on top of the ball of the humerus, with the deltoid looking like a sheet draped over those structures. Your entire scapulae's likely stand out in bold relief as opposed to merely the spine being raised above the muscles. In muscular people in fact, the spine is a furrow between the muscles.

Either way dude - that's hella skinny. Bag o' antlers indeed.

Uh they have weight and height requirments to become a flight attendant. So I don't get it.

By spine, I eant spine of the shoulder blade - the actual spine also is usually in a furrow, with only the prominence of c7/t1 showinf at the base of the neck. The spine does become more visable if the subject bends foreward. However in the extremly skinny FARKers case, the spinal prominences are likely visable through almost the entire length of the spine. freaky.

Also, that first model doesn't look half bad. A well-tailored outfit goes a long way.

Chaghatai: In muscular people in fact, the spine is a furrow between the muscles.

that's how my spine looks. it looks rather sexy.

but, seriously

I'm just under 6 foot 1 and about 225-230, so i suppose if you go by 'the charts' I'm about 25 pounds overweight.

The ideal weight thingy is a LIE. It said I'm 'supposed to be' like 170 pounds. I was that in HS and I was way too skinny. I think my ideal weight, given my build, is about 200 or so. So, yeah, Im carrying some dumbbells around (when i'm not at the gym even)

But, fark, there's being overweight, then there's being fat, and then there's being obese and then there is WTF?!?

Is our submitter in a rag-on-a-stick hygiene scenario? Because 18 is well into the plus sizes.

AbbeySomeone: lstywnch: brigid_fitch: Plus size starts at 14W, which is like a 16 Misses.

When I still worked in retail selling women's clothing they actually had 10Ws.

What confuses me is size 14 or whatever with P for petite. Don't they mean short and squat? 12/14 are the first sizes to sell out.

Exactly. Petite has more to do w/inseam, torso, & arm length than someone's frame. Petite is considered 4'11" to 5'3". Average is 5'3½" to 5'7½".

Size 12/14 are the first to sell out in practically everything. That's right on the cusp of Medium & Large.

If I were a clothing designer I would incorporate the following into my plus size products: heavy duty reinforced inner thigh material to withstand the high friction and super absorbant crotch liner to soak up the fatty sweat juices. Might make them think twice about that chocolate fudge sundae for dessert.

Shrinkwrap: I wasn't aware that the male ideal was a size 12...

I don't think it is. I would rather have the size zero, since it's easy for a woman to gain weight but really hard to get the size 18 to lose any weight. The size eight in that line up was clearly the hottest. Maybe I'm biased since I'm a pretty skinny guy.

FTFA "If the dress wasn't a tiny size 18, there would be less," Reller said. "It's a very small size 18, so that makes the numbers a lot larger."

Nice job zamboni. Why did it take that long for somebody to do that?

lstywnch: themathgeek: Um...Could someone please tell me how much you would weigh if you wear a size 28. I tried to google it but that didn't work so well for me. Thanks.

That would depend on how tall you are.

A friend of mine is 5'11" and used to be a big-time fatty. I just looked up her weight-loss blog & when she was a size 28, she weighed 325.

Someone could be a lot shorter & weigh around 275 and still be a size 28.

Chach: Is our submitter in a rag-on-a-stick hygiene scenario? Because 18 is well into the plus sizes.

Unless the submitter is arguing that we're getting so huge that 16 isn't a plus size even, then I can silently nod my assent.

I believe that was subbys argument

I'm pushing the former "plus size" boundary at size 12-14. I'm 5'10" so I'm not grotesquely fat, bit I am definitely overweight. I'd argue that anyone bigger than a 12 is fat, since few ladies are taller than I am. Vanity sizing is so frusterating

Size 28 walking up and down the aisles all flight? Time to avoid aisle seats, folks.

RandomTux: FTA: [Reller said,] It's a very small size 18, so that makes the numbers a lot larger.

Oh for fark's sake... While there is indeed such thing as "small" size X, the reality is quite opposite. The designer labels keep sliding sizes up, so that today size 4 is yesterday's 6 or 8, so that the increasingly fat population feels better. She claims it's the other way around.

THIS! I've been sewing for over 25 years and have to keep remembering that although I'm a size 12 now, I can't make a size 12 from any of my vintage patterns or even ones from the 80s. It'd turn out too small.

At least we know where Carmen Sandiego is now.

That's interesting, because I am 5'4", weigh 120 and I wear a 8/10 depending on the manufacturer.

So yeah, clothing sizing is pretty farked up.

cauth002: Not all size 0's are a bag of antlers. I'm 5'3, small-boned, and a size 0. I like to think of myself as a normal, small size. If I weighed 115, I'd look a little overweight. Of course someone is going to be discustingly skinny if they are a size 0 and 6 feet tall.

How you doin?!
Don't know what you weigh or what size you are, but you are extremely fetching!

No matter what the size of the flight attendant, there is no reason that her uniform must plunge down below her sternum like that. Other than to tantilize the rich males in first/business class. Personally, I prefer functional uniforms (such as those worn by Southwest staff), so that in case of emergency they're able to dash up and down the aisle to aid passengers.

Perhaps anyone who has purchased a ticket should be able to go to Delta's website and score each flight attendant, and below a certain score is terminated. "But the job isn't about being sexy. It's about safety." Well, make it about whatever the customer thinks it is. Can't argue with that.

pivazena: brigid_fitch: cherryl taggart: Size friggin 28!! Do commercial looms make cloth that wide?

Largest I've seen in retail stores & on sewing patterns is a size 32 (5X). And size 32 clothing is really nothing more than tricked-out muu muus and other tent-like items. Here are a couple of typical outfits that go up to size 32:

/Note, model in 1st pic is probably a 22/24W. The 2nd model is probably an 18W
//Fabric is typically available in bolts of 2 sizes: 45" & 60" wide

Why do you figure they still sketched skinny modes wearing those designs when they're clearly designed for bigger ladies?

Also, that first model doesn't look half bad. A well-tailored outfit goes a long way.

I double-checked--the first model is a size 20. The 2nd model is a 14/16. And they put pretty, full-figured models on the covers instead of real fatties because women who are actually size 32 are freakin' scary! A friend of mine was a HUGE fatty (425lbs @ 5'11") and I remember one "full figure fashion" catalogue she had. They used size 32 models for some of their fashions. OMG! There wasn't enough eye bleach.

My friend wasn't that bad because she was so tall & distributed the weight well. She was still a fatty, but nowhere near as dumpy & as the hideous women in this catalogue.

Regardless of a woman's body size, she can find an outfit that she looks genuinely good in (if she knows where to look). But not all dresses look good on all women. The offending dress in TFA would look ridiculous on a size 28.

That said...

In the old days of passenger flight, there was plenty of leg room, the food was amazing, and the flight attendants were all young and beautiful. Yes lads, you're right. That's because ticket prices were heavily regulated and airlines could only compete on service. The seats were farther apart because there were far fewer people on each flight. Even then planes were often half-empty.

After deregulation airlines could compete on price, and did just that. Turned out the surest way to fill up your plane is to charge low fares, and that is just what airlines now do.

Turns out people don't miss the perks much. Even in the old days the gourmet dinners mostly went uneaten. And the jokes about "coffee, tea or me" aside, even in the old days "she" was never on the refreshment list. Nowadays the lonely business traveler whose wife hasn't touched him in years unless she wanted some trinket or other has plenty of other options for fantasy material--downloading porn in his hotel room comes to mind.

Farkers, you can still fly on five-star airlines with five-star food and perfect-ten flight attendants, like Emirates and Singapore. You'll have to pay through the nose to do it of course, like in the old days (and the attendants still won't put out). If you're not willing to pay for eye candy, you have no right to complain when you don't get it.

Stewardesses were an obvious target for the feminists because they were forced to retire at age 35 (OMG! the discrimination!) But realistically it is the the ideal job for a young single female who is footloose and fancy free, and not a life time career. I'm sick and tired of dealing with bitter grumpy old hags.

I can't imagine a size 28 being able to navigate the aisle in a commercial airliner. I have sat in the aisle seat with a size 16 fatty walking the cart up and down, and bumping every passenger along the way with her jelly rolls. There are certain jobs that call for a level of fitness, stewardess is one of them. A size 28 must have to have a tent retrofitted.

Take a look at ANA, JAL and Thai air stews. They take great pride in the appearance of their employees.

A friend of mine is a hot Swedish flight attendant, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies...

The sooner they drop 'Vanity Sizing' and go to sizes like menswear the sooner fat chicks will lose the unhealthy weight they drag around. Yes, I said fat chicks, you are only fooling yourself if you think a size 52" butt is 'Plus Sized'/'Husky' and the ever popular BBW, which is nothing more than a euphemism for overweight women to let them feel better about themselves all the while killing themselves slowly as the pounds add up. Vanity sizes change every year, but a 52" butt in 1969 is still a 52" butt in 2009.

Someone may not mind being a vanity size 14, but when they have to buy size 52" pants after a while, nobody wants to be seen buying circus tent underwear...

I defy anyone to pull up a lad mag or page 3 girl pic who is as fat as that 12 shown in the comparison. Whoever did that survey must have only asked couples while the wife was present. The women told the truth and the guys wanted to get farked sometime in the next month or at least still sleep in their own bed.

I'm married to a size 18. She's fat.

24W means 2 X 4 WIDE.

UnspokenVoice: Just yell at them out the window if you see a fatty. They might give you the finger but you know damned well they can't run long enough to actually catch you. If you're like a buddy of mine you get a rather nasty fine for hitting one with an empty beer can while riding as a passenger. I'd not recommend following him though.

Quite a bit saggier after 40 years and 6 kids though.

But yeah, BBW should be stricken from the lexicon, complete intellectual dishonesty. Like men are supposed to shrug it off, well she might weigh as much as a Holstein, but man she's a BBW according to her ad.

So should "a few extra pounds". A few means like less than 5. I had a few beers yesterday, did I have 60?

Plus size? That's a good one there. How about large? Say it biatch, you are a large woman, with a gut that holds your tits up, if you can find a bra big enough, and if not, they all kind of sag together so what difference did it make just exactly where the nipple is, just grab a handful of goo, squeeze it around your cock and fark any old fold.

Also that picture saying that size 12 is the men's ideal is ridiculous. The size 8 girl looks much better.

My wife has a size 0 and size 12 in the closet, both fit her very well. So yeah it depends on a whole lot of crap.

I feel so sorry for her and this bullshiat.


Women are stupid. That's why. Men have their own ways to be stupid, though.

ciocia: Are we talking health or aesthetics? I'm a size 12, and a BMI of 22. I'm also 5'9"--not a supermodel, but about average.

Well, health and aesthetics tend to follow each other, although I was talking about aesthetics. I admit that I was probably being too general, since clothing size isn't exactly a precise indicator for either of those things.

I'm aware that clothing sizes are relative to other factors, like hip width or height. For instance, you're quite tall -- 3-4 inches above average -- so a size 12 means something different for you than it would for someone who was closer to the 5'5"-ish average. I know you already know that, I just wanted to clarify that I'm not drawing a line at Size 9 and calling people above that fatties or anything. I'm certain that your size 12 looks very nice at your height, plus I bet you have some nice long stems to boot ;)

Being quite tall is a whole 'nother issue. It means I have a hard time finding sleeves that come all the way to my wrists. OTOH, "average height" women have trouble buying skirts and dresses means that they can't trip over.

Glendale Quote 2009-07-11 07:18:13 PM
Nocens: Donald_McRonald: vertiaset: Hey young people. There was a time when air travel was glamorous and exclusive. You ate from china, the Stewardesses were all pretty young women. Service was how the airlines competed with one another. Even in coach you had room to stretch out and relax. People dressed up to travel. Men wore suits, women nice dresses. You rarely saw children on flights and when you did they were well behaved and quiet. Poor people didn't fly, they road the bus.

Pretty sure poor people still ride the bus.


That'd be the really poor.

I stopped flying entirely. Between TSA, cramped seats, rude stewardesses, the skimpy meals, fat people with no deodorant bleeding into my seat even in 1st class, it's just too much.

I drive now. I used to hate driving cross country when I was a kid but it was the cramped cars back then. An Expedition makes it comfy and relaxing.

If some enterprising individual could bring back luxury trains and a realistic scheduling system I'd ride it. 2 farking days in Chicago? Whatever, AmCrack.

When the Union Pacific #844 and its retro passenger/baggage cars (26 long, I think) came through town I asked if they offer rides. The answer was no; they do charity rides and stuff like that, but otherwise apparently it's illegal and would "compete" with Amtrak.


Ahhhh yes Nationalized, Subsidized, Passenger Trains. Government don't like competition.

gawdzilla:

ciocia: And my stems? Yes, they are magnificent ;)

That statement is worthless without pix. :)

How come every where I go, I'm subjected to unattractive fat people?

I realize that these people deserve to work, but it should be in places where I can't see them.

Everyone thought my ex-wife was a size 0. But she wore a size 8, just skinny.

My current wife is a size 8, but is way curvier (where it counts) and isn't as long and skinny as my first wife.

I'll never figure out these chick sizes.

glompoc: Stewardesses were an obvious target for the feminists because they were forced to retire at age 35 (OMG! the discrimination!) But realistically it is the the ideal job for a young single female who is footloose and fancy free, and not a life time career.

First rule about labor politics is that every single job on the face of the planet should be a life time appointment. This is why people argue that one should be able to raise a family of four on a single salary flipping burgers or bagging groceries. Not only that, but no job should ever go away. If technology moves on, tough, people who made the old technology need to remain employed making it. If manufacturing techniques improve so certain tasks are no longer needed, the politics of labor will demand that the tasks be done the old way, forever.

BTW, has anyone ever done an environmental impact study of overweight crew members? How much CO2 does that needlessly create? Shouldn't stewardesses be small to save the planet?

You can borrow my wife if you like. After a few drinks, she'll show you her tits. Fair warning, though, she will absolutely not shut the fark up for ten seconds. Oh, and she's a little chunky too.

There are some size 18'ers that carry it off so well they are totally bangable to me.
Just wanted to say that. Some, of course, don't pull it off at ALL.

Fat is when the muffintop or worse isn't caused by the pants being far too tight.

vertiaset: I was just reading an article. A pound of human fat is about 3500 calories. A gallon of gas is about 31,000 (technically I think these are kilocalories). So, someone who is 80lbs overweight. Has enough EXCESS energy stored in their bodies to propel a 2,000 lb automobile a hundred miles or more at freeway speeds.

If you think about how difficult it is to PUSH a car just a block or two at walking speed. This is just amazing.

I knew there was a reason I favorited you.

JustTheTip: Came here to say the same thing. Took a flight last week, and the fat-assed stewardess smacked me with her hip lard every time she went by. Didn't even try to turn or say "excuse me" or anything.

well gees what do you expect... she would have to stop every 1.5 seconds and excuse herself and then in doing that she would probably end up smacking someone else and then she is stuck in a vortex of apologie and wont go anywhere.

I think they're trying to say that their size 18 fits like a normal size 16 would.

Unlike a company such as Land's end where the fit is generous. Got a Jacket in XL(Usually a great fit for a 14) and it fit like it was made for Attila the hun. Just massive everywhere.

It's not likely... airlines have to save their money and hot chicks know how much they are worth. Besides, all the anti-discrimination legislation would make such a hiring policy suicidal.

The_Gallant_Gallstone:

I, for one, would pay for it. In fact, since the airlines love to charge all these fees nowadays, I'll list some fees I'd be GLAD to pay for more costly service. Listen up, Delta marketing whizzes:

Guaranteed all female staff: $5
Guaranteed all female staff size 4 or less: $15
Guaranteed all female staff, size 4 or less, age 25 or younger: $50
Above, wearing 2-piece bikinis: $75
Guaranteed no children on the flight younger than 5: $15
Guaranteed no children on board younger than 13: $25
Open bar for flight duration: $50
Policy where passengers are ejected from the flight if their rolls of fat overlap into adjoining seats: $40

There you go, you could double or triple the price of the ticket if you just offered things people wanted.

Yes.
The average height for women in America is something around 5'5".
Also note that America has something of a weight problem, in general.
Size 12 at average height is likely not particularly flattering.
Size 12 on a woman who is getting close to 6-foot is just fine.
Of course, all of this depends on things like bust and hip measurements as well. Clothing sizes are not particularly descriptive, other than broad generalizations like there are no fat people who are Size 2, and no slim people who are Size 16.

"The designer labels keep sliding sizes up, so that today size 4 is yesterday's 6 or 8, so that the increasingly fat population feels better."

THIS-- a hundred times over.

I recently put on some weight-- the last time I was 132 pounds (at 5'8"), back in high school, I was a size 8. Fast forward 10 years, and now I'm back to 132 pounds (proportioned the same) aaaaand....I'm a J Crew size 0 and a Gap size 2. If this keeps up, they're going to have to make 00 and 000 sizes at some point.

(Also ladies, that means that if you think you're a size 8...you're probably actually what used to be a size 12. Sorry. But that's exactly why my mom LOVES buying jeans at the Gap...it's a great business decision on their part.)

You don't have to be skinny to be sexy, but I think in general, being healthy is attractive. The size is unimportant, since size varies so much based on body shape and height.

What's a "skelator"? And how is it pronounced? skell-ay-ter? Someone who skels?
My ex: 5'8" 125. Runner. Tiny waist, wide hips. How is this not curvy? Plus I could pick her up no sweat. Very nice. Toned legs, cutest calves you ever saw. No fatties for me, ever.

Gawdzila: ciocia: You know, I've waited a long time for a "subscribe to your newsletter" and THIS, but I hoped when they happened, the people would actually agree with me. I guess you can't have everything.

Haha, sorry I so callously ruined your first time.
I'll make it better for you next time, baby, I promise ;)

I was just kidding. After surviving a hundred or so flamewars, I'm happy when nobody calls me a dirty name.

The_Gallant_Gallstone: katastrophe: I'm 5'10 and size 10, even though I go to the gym 5 times a week and am in better shape than most people. I'll deal with not looking like the ideal, just because I think life's too short to restrict one's diet to salads only. But come on, size 18? There's no excuse for that. Get to the gym or put down the fork, at least make some compromise!

It's that fatty chain of command...

Size 10 fatties looking down on size 18 fatties...

If you had looked at her profile you wouldn't be saying that.
Size 10 at 5'10" is not fat, and katastrophe is gorgeous to boot.

I hear ya bro! In fact, I would type a detailed explanation of how my four girlfriends (who all have sex with me simultaneously) are even hotter than your girlfriend, but I have to depart for physical recreation in 1,560 seconds in preparation for a lunch meeting with the Secretary of Defense.

The_Gallant_Gallstone: Rozinante: If she's a fatty, I'm a chubby chaser Internet white knight.

FTFY

No, 5'10" and size 10 is healthy, and in her case, quite good looking. She lives too far away to stalk, though.

Gawdzila: If you had looked at her profile you wouldn't be saying that.
Size 10 at 5'10" is not fat, and katastrophe is gorgeous to boot.

I looked... but in my spiritual development, I am well beyond fawning over TFettes I will never be fornicating with anyway.

I don't go out of my way to attack size 10s as fatties, but they do have some bah-donka-donk. I made my remark because she was attacking other fatties.

I have a vested interest in creating a movement of Fatty Solidarity. The sight of one fatty attacking another when they can be organizing for their mutual benefit makes me sad.

Exactly. People seem to forget that curvy is a shape, not a size (and furthermore, a shape that few overweight women have).

Rozinante: If she's a fatty, I'm a chubby chaser.

Hah, thanks. I'm pretty much all muscle, though; real chubber chasers would be disappointed!

Aw, thanks, you're too sweet! Trolls have insulted hotter chicks before though, so he very well could have seen the profile. All I know is that I can outrun most anyone commenting in this thread, so I'm pretty sure I'm not fat (and if I am, apparently it doesn't hold me back too much).

LOL. You sound like you have been spying on fat acceptance blogs or something. There seems to be a lot of anxiety about whether someone is really "fat enough" to be in the movement, etc. It's odd. It's the one place you would think there WOULD be solidarity.

The airlines would have to increase pay for stewardesses radically.

I, for one, would pay for it. In fact, since the airlines love to charge all these fees nowadays, I'll list some fees I'd be GLAD to pay for more costly service. Listen up, Delta marketing whizzes:

Guaranteed all female staff: $5
Guaranteed all female staff size 4 or less: $15
Guaranteed all female staff, size 4 or less, age 25 or younger: $50
Above, wearing 2-piece bikinis: $75

There you go, you could double or triple the price of the ticket if you just offered things people wanted.

Am I the only one who finds this kind of pathetic?

You would pay an additional $155 for a flight for young hot chicks in a bikini to be walking around?

I snipped the other thoughts because they made sense, in a way. I bet people are willing to say they will pay more to be on a no kids flight, but when push comes to shove I doubt enough would be willing to actually pay for it.

There is already an institution where men pay all sorts of extra money for attentive, hot, mostly naked chicks. It's called a "strip club." He just wants to move it skyward.

Oznog: vertiaset: Hey young people. There was a time when air travel was glamorous and exclusive. You ate from china, the Stewardesses were all pretty young women. Service was how the airlines competed with one another. Even in coach you had room to stretch out and relax. People dressed up to travel. Men wore suits, women nice dresses. You rarely saw children on flights and when you did they were well behaved and quiet. Poor people didn't fly, they road the bus.

No.
Spending $155 dollars to watch women in bikinis?
Hell, you can go to a strip club and watch women who are nude for way less than that. Or get porn on the internet for free. The premium is for what.. having them serve you peanuts and soda?
That suggestion was essentially the business model for Hooter's Airline, which went under after only 3 years, so I guess the market isn't as large as some might imagine.

Prior to losing a lot of weight and doing a lot of exercise routines, I was a size 18 (now a size 4 thank you very much!)and there would be no way in hell I'd let myself be caught dead in that dress while I was my highest weight let alone a size 28.

ciocia: stiletto_the_wise: We really need to get back to the era of hot stewardesses. Last flight I took, the air-hags on board made me want to vomit. I say fire them as soon as they get above size 4.

By golly, you are right. When I went to a store to buy stuff, the guy who waited on me had a pot belly. The nerve of that loser! I say, if you don't have washboard abs, GTFO. And the guy who checked me into a luxury hotel? He had a big nose. Damn, I was ready to call the management. What right do homely people have waiting on anybody? Can't they all be forced to work in salt mines underground? Or shot?

Stores don't have 20-inch-wide aisles, your face generally isn't at ass-level with the salesperson, and you're not paying $500 to hurl the store to another city at 30,000 feet in the air.

Commercial airline pilots are required to have 20/20 vision (either naturally or with corrective lenses) and a health certificate stating they're not likely to keel over dead any time soon before they get hired. They're probably required to speak fluent English too, since that's the accepted language of the flight control system. There are already hiring restrictions for certain members of the flight crew, so there's no excuse for not having a legal requirement that your ass has to fit ENTIRELY in the aisle before you can be hired as a flight attendant.

I'm sure that there are physical requirements for flight attendants, and I've never seen ones that were physically unable to do their job. Are some of them fat? Yes, but there are fat passengers on the plane, too, and if the airlines are willing to take their money and squeeze 'em on, and the fat FAs can do their jobs, why not have them? They take up space? On the narrow-ass airplanes that are packed tighter than sardines, EVERYBODY is a tight fit, except midgets. Sorry, people that are too fat to make you happy are still allowed to earn a living. Tough luck.

ciocia: Being quite tall is a whole 'nother issue. It means I have a hard time finding sleeves that come all the way to my wrists. OTOH, "average height" women have trouble buying skirts and dresses means that they can't trip over

Isn't that the truth. And jeans that look flood length with they aren't supposed to be.

I am not saying it isn't preferable. I just think if you have to pay good looking women be nice to you... ehhh.. I will stop before the 26 minutes to the gym posts start. Maybe I am just too cheap to appreciate the value.

dj_bigbird: what a hot stewardess might wear at work

I was looking for a Singapore Air stewardess pic last week as part of a report I was working on and came across that one. Having actually flown the airline, I have to say that all their stewardesses are farking hot.

cherryl taggart: Size friggin 28!! Do commercial looms make cloth that wide? I'm a size 18 and loathe shopping for clothes because of my bad eating and general laziness. I cannot imagine what would make someone 5 sizes larger than me want to have a job that much out in the public eye. Thank you IT for telecommuting.

As i used to say in math class, does not exist.

I think it's cute that submitter expects us all to be in an outrage about size 18 being a "pluz-size", like we know anything about sizes.

Just land the land on time and in one piece is all I'm asking.

NotARocketScientist: I'm Female, 5'8" and 185 lbs - ~20 lbs over weight. I wear a 14 (when I have to wear women's over priced, poorly made clothing)
18 IS a plus size.
I can understand not wanting little twiggy girls as flight attendants in case they have to lift something bigger than a cup of ice, but a size 18 id too big for reasons people already mentioned here.

I mean if they were to fall and roll to the front of the plane they may put the aircraft into a dive

You_mean_Im_gonna_stay_this_color: zero vs 18

Sorry subby. Size 18 is fatty

Size 18 is a LOT cuter and more sexy than the size zero one, that's for sure.

PatGund: Size 18 is a LOT cuter and more sexy than the size zero one, that's for sure.

/suck it, biatches

I've probably flown about 400 times in my life and I have NEVER had a fat female flight attendant. Hell, i thought that airlines were the only place allowed to bar fatties from working as flight attendants... at least they should be. Would a size 28 even fit down the aisle without her arms smacking you in the face?

I work in the clothing section of a department store. Here's how our women's sizing works: S = 6-8, M = 10-12, L = 14-16, XL = 18. The plus section: 1X-3X, 18W-26W. (Not sure if 1X = 18W or 18W-20W, but whatever, close enough.) Some plus size stores start at 14 and I don't get why. That's a large. Despite being called "large," it's really not that big. And omg, I was in a store once where the plus sizes were labeled as plus small, plus medium, plus large, etc. WTF?!?! No. You don't get to restart the labels every few sizes to make people feel better. They're just lying to themselves. Ooh, I'm a small! Plus small, but still small! Ugh. And this XL/1X thing is bullshiat. They might as well just call the 1X a 2XL and the 2X a 3XL, but noooo. Well, sometimes they do, so it's totally confusing. Oh and some brands fit small and you tend to have to go up a size, while others fit larger and you have to go down a size. And there are not enough styles to complement different body types. It sucks. Yeah, the plus sizes get their own store. How about different shapes? Women aren't all proportioned the same. Most clothes I try on just don't fit. About the P/W thing, I just wish they'd make tops labeled B for busty. Some of us are curvy. Not "curvaceous" like the plus sized women like to be called. Small framed and curvy. I'm a size 10 and a 32DDD. Everything just puckers and doesn't sit right. I'd like to find a form fitting blouse that looks good for once. Pants are just as bad. They're usually too tight in the front but they gape in the back. Going up or down a size is useless.

Here's the problem, they don't hire at 28, they hired when they were 10, or 14 - then once the Union Stew got the job and spent the year required for Union workers to 'have the job for life no matter what' they went back to their normal way of life and the pounds packed on and viola! size 28+ of course since they already have the job, to fire them or even *gasp* insist they lose some weight, they must follow union rules and keep them until they explode.

Hmm.... how about snug-fitting (particularly in the ass region) black pants and some sort of collared, partially unbuttoned shirt? Tie optional... I don't know why, but I think that's hot as hell. Particularly if the man in question has nice f*ck me curves. (the indent of the hip bones...) Mmm... yes.

/Feels like I'm wearin' nothin' at all...!
//nothin' at all...!

Ral: ...

Men's pants have 2 numbers, waist and inseam. It means something concrete -- length in inches. Women's pants...it's totally arbitrary. The number 18 or 14 or 28 doesn't mean anything concrete. Neither does P or R or W or any of the other stupid letters they put on the tags.

End result, women have to try pants on before they know if they fit, and probably will have to try a dozen before finding something they can wear. We don't spend hours shopping because we like it, but because we have no choice.

Some guy's brands arent any better. If I want to buy Dockers khakis, I have to go up 8" in waist size compared to anywhere else. Hagar is almost as bad. I think it is because then they bump you up to fattie size and can charge more. For the record, plus size guys pants is 46"+ I know, I just moved back below the line.
/lost 45lbs since the last time I was on a plane (8 mos)
//still wont fit on the plane, because no weight loss will make me shorter

FTFA: The Northwest chapter of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA has filed a grievance with the world's largest airline operator, asking it to offer the red dress up to size 28.

Size 28? SIZE 28?? How in the world could someone who is that morbidly obese assist passengers in an emergency?

Anyone who is that fat should be fired. They are a danger to passengers and crew and probably cost extra fuel just to carry their 300 pound asses around. Unless they are 6'-8" and built like a linebacker, no human being should weigh 330 pounds. EVER.

I think I would piss in my pants with laughter if I saw a flight attendant that fat.

If she can't fit in the economy class seats without folding up the armrest, she shouldn't be on the plane.

The issue is not whether or not they gained weight following hiring, it's whether or not they can do the job. As I said, I have not seen either male or female stews who literally could not do their job. If they can't, it's a legit issue. If they can, it's not.

Judging how fat humans should ever be is not in my pay scale, since I'm not God, so I'm just going by work performance. While I have not seen a run on super-fat FA, I've seen nurses that fat, and they save lives every day. Why should anybody that fat be fired? They aren't health role models, and they are not hired to be skinny, like fashion models. If they can do it, they should be allowed to, without judgments.

Actually, there IS debate about that. Something about doctors and nurses admonishing patients for not eating right when they themselves are looking like they hit Church's Chicken one too many times on the way home from an overnighter shift doesn't sit well with many folks.

You would think so, but they make me store my midgets in the overhead compartment. I can assure you that getting any more than one of them in there certainly IS a tight fit.

Waaaahhh...it doesn't fit me.

Well, I have a suggestion...PUT DOWN THE FORK!

I'd be bothered if the first thing I saw after stepping into a plane is the Koolaid man.

If you're fat, you're fat. You can't, and for heavens sake shouldn't, wear certain things. i.e. Spandex, bikinis, tight clothes, etc...

The amazing thing is: we weren't always this fat.

In fact, as recently as 1990, the levels of obesity in America were SUBSTANTIALLY lower.

This is an eye-opening map from the CDC:

My ex: 5'8" 125. Runner. Tiny waist, wide hips. How is this not curvy? Plus I could pick her up no sweat. Very nice. Toned legs, cutest calves you ever saw. No fatties for me, ever.

You need to stop being so productive and watch more Saturday morning cartoons. Or Boomerang. I forget which but it's okay because I'm old.

Oh, Skeletor. Capital S because it's a name, and properly spelled because you're not an idiot, right?

burncheese: And this XL/1X thing is bullshiat.

Tehnically they aren't the same size. XL is a misses cut and about size 16, a 1X is a womens cut and is about an 18.

In a misses cut the hips are larger than the waist. In a women's cut the waist is equal to or larger than the hips. Hold up a pair of misses 18 trousers next to an 18W trouser. You can see what I'm talking about. IE Misses is for pear shapes, women's is for apple shapes. The W behind the size is to denote it's a women's cut garment.

/and juniors is for rectangle shapes, though I've noticed recently even juniors sizes are getting more shapely.

I wonder if they get half the pay since they utilize twice the weight designated for a stewardess on a plane.

Your girlfriend is a skelator.

Skelator huh? it may be thin, but it's not a skeleton. My girlfriend was in fact down to 107 pounds and is 5'5" and I hardly saw any boniness.

then again she's now back to around 115 which seems pretty normal. She had a high of 121 earlier this year.

You keep track? Weird. I'm just content that my gf's ass is smaller than mine.
