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.

That would depend on how tall you are.

I don't remember too much glamor but I do remember when airlines flew comfortable and commodious aircraft with a cabin crew of good looking young women who smiled at you when you emerged from the bathroom in a cloud of marijuana smoke.

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.

Sizes schmizes. Trying to place a definitive cutoff for what is considered "fat" and what isn't is like lawmakers trying to define pornography. You just know it when you see it. Then wish you hadn't.

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?


Bwahahahahaha!

Yeah, air travel used to be like that... and most people (realistically encompassing most of the working and lower middle classes, not just the "poor") couldn't afford it more than once in a blue moon. If Aunt Bessie or whoever was more than a reasonable driving distance away... you just didn't visit very often, if ever.

As usual, modern air travel's "sh*ttiness" is a function of our inflated lifestyle, and material demands that greatly outstrip our ability to pay. The result is our houses full of shoddy Chinese-made crap, and ghastly air travel experiences.

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.

You_mean_Im_gonna_stay_this_color: zero vs 18

Sorry subby. Size 18 is fatty


Size zero can be quite sexy on petite short girls. Of course a tall model will look scrawny at size 0. My HS sweetheart was tiny, 5'0 and size 0, was awesome, big boobies too.

Anything above a 4 to 6 is fat.

Following that with a cocktail and a cigarette made flying quite pleasurable.

I've been on two separate flights where I had to sit next to a dog. In both cases, those canines were better behaved than your typical child.

I'm 22 and that is the first time someone's ever explained womens sizing coherently to me.

Why could we not sell sizes in inches?

 
lstywnch 2009-07-11 04:16:00 PM  
themathgeek: lstywnch: What if you are 5'7"? (Since that is how tall I am).

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.

And god help you if you are near the galley and have to listen to the attendants biatch about their job the whole flight.

I am starting to not like fat people with all their complaining and not to mention the enormous drag upon our economy they cause and just the visual pollution of them being in public and never taking responsibility for the problems they cause. 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.

heh, Men's clothes are sold in inches, and over half the time a 36 x 34 pant isn't even a 36 inch waist.

/Glad to be of help on explaining the women's clothing size thing. It's why you can try and 11/12 and it will be too small, a 12 will fit, and a 12W will fall off you. They're cut for different body types.

FTA: "...asking it to offer the red dress up to size 28."

Huh? That's wider than the drinks trolley. Will that actually fit down an aircraft isle?

I want eye-candy on my flights. If I'm seeing size 28 stewardesses then I'm looking for another airline.

Do delta pilots have to adjust the trim as the stewardesses walk up and town the aircraft?

 
museisluse 2009-07-11 04:22:35 PM  
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?

Nyoka: oh, and this just in:

Wearing clothes that are too small or not the right cut for your body type makes you look fatter.

/got tired of women that were CLEARLY a size 14 trying to squeeze into a size 8
//yes, it happened
///Yes they would try to return it after they'd ripped the ass out of it.

Weidermeijer 2009-07-11 04:23:59 PM  
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.

I'm pretty sure the flight they're attending is going to hell, or to a satanic ritual at least. /they're kind of creepy biatches.
