But she offered to wear a wig and they still fired her.

Yeah that's what the news article said, but the court's summary doesn't mention it.

This is a terrible story and all, Tremolina, but I think this thread calls for a nice new photo of you.

...You know, so you could show us by comparison with your own hair just how short this flight attendant's hair is.

To be all clear about this people: This is NOT a photo whore thread.

It's always the handsome ones that are stubborn.

Ladies, I am very flattered and all that, but even tho'my ego tells me to comply, if the two of you continue to go off topic I'm gonna have to call the mods on you!

Go ahead! I have already seen photos of you...I KNOW you are handsome.

DesireeNevermind said:

What if she was a chemo patient? Wonder if the near baldness would be okay then.

I'm pretty sure KLM and the court would have ruled differently then.

That may be the case but that is just your opinion, which is entirely irrelevant to this discussion.

See....they are making an assumption about why she chooses to wear her hair so incredibly short. She's not required to disclose her health status. I just wonder if they bothered to ask or they just said "fuck you your hair is too short!"

some women actually look good bald. think of amber rose, Kanye's ex stand-in. she rocked the blond buzz quite well.

johnart said:

Stewardesses should be hot.

Agreed.

And wait, it says she got three warnings, so wtf is the issue here?

Nah, see this thing had been going on for about three years already before they fired her and after each warning they gave her, she promised she would get a longer hair cut. She wouldn't have promised that if she would have had a medical condition.

Personally I wouldn't have any problem whatsoever with a bold female flight attendant as long as she is hot

But I would have probably ruled the same. An employer is allowed to have a dress code and women with practically bald heads aren't exactly what you could call a common female appearance in society yet, let alone for a stewardess, so it's understandable KLM objected. Then again they didn't object before. But they changed the rules and then she really lost the case on breaking her promises that she would follow the new rules every time after being warned.

I went this past year. I didn't see any busted showgirls.

I ain't talkin bout the gals hustlin dranks at the less prestigeous hotels.

They also get fired if they are too heavy, so what do they want, a bunch of heavy hair?

They're so cute though. They're cute because they try so hard. All that glitter, cleavage, prostetics and cheap extensions. It's a relief from all the near perfect Barbies at the 4 and 5 joints. Sometimes....you just wanna slum a bit. Go off the strip and see how the the cheese compares to the Pate.

Yeah....the fact that she promised to grow it a bit and then flaked is what bothers me. I'd rather she fight for the right to wear her hair how she sees fit. I mean this isn't highschool. As long as she does her job then her hair length should be a non-issue. Comparing short hair to tattoos or piercings is just stupid to me. Not like passengers were complaining right?

Oh I agree. Totally cute. I love to get my drank on by the nickel slots and people watch 'em. They all look like they got a story.

No apparantly passengers were not complaining, but what's a judge going to do when you repeatedly violate not only the rules, but your own promises as well?

I flew with KLM in June and found the attendants too tall and too loud

they were too tall for me to even see their hair anyway!!!

I was NOT impressed with the Delta/KLM staff. Grumpy group of ppl. I do not care what they look like but don't have an attitude.Though they were so casually dressed, I had a hard time telling who was staff.

really? all the KLM staff had bright blue uniforms on that I saw

You are just jealous they were such tall blonde beautiful dutch ladies

some were especially some of the boys

but it's hard to tell if they really WERE 60 years old or just 40 year olds with sunlamps (that's an issue I have with SAS too, but they are thankfully much shorter and I can make eye contact with them )

Nope. I mean stewardesses and I mean hot, like when I was a kid and would be all excited to see them whenever I took a flight. If I'm on a plane and it's going down I don't want the last person who gave me a coke and a shitty sammich I had to pay extra for be a grumpy lookin grandma/grandpa who barely fits down the aisle.

When the stewardess is hot I always wanna do her.

omg!!!! and you tell me you're not HOT

you probably DO end up doing her

I wonder if a male stewardess (steward?) had long hair....would there also be a warning and subsequent firing if the warnings were not heeded? Or would it be okay for a male flight attendant to have a pony tail.
