Seriously, what’s been going on that Delta needs to include this in their advice for future employees? And, seriously, what is going in with society that Delta actually has to advise potential employees of this and other things
Delta pushes strict underwear regulations for flight attendants in eyebrow-raising memo
This is how you dress for success at Delta.
Delta Air Lines is reminding potential flight attendants that they need to be wearing underwear.
The airline recently released a two-page memo for “appearance requirements” for future hires outlining strict guidelines for how one should look during the interview process, training and throughout their career.
Delta outlines stipulations for grooming, hair, jewelry and clothing — and includes a specific rule regarding underwear.
According to the memo, potential hires and current flight attendants must wear “proper undergarments,” but they “must not be visible.”
This is a new change to appearance requirements meant to make the guidelines “more specific,” a Delta spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
If you read the whole memo, it is about the dress and grooming code if the interviewees are hired. It makes sense to make sure they know tattoos must be covered, no crazy colored hair, nails must be one color and not bright, no full on beards, forget most piercings. But, wearing underwear? WTH? Adults need to be told they need to be wearing underwear for a professional position?
When you’re hiring leftists, foreigners and the sexually confused to fulfill your DEI quotas yes you must stipulate theses things. Ten to one they are sued by 2025 and lose.
Good to know. It does cause me to wonder, if the underwear is not visible, how will supervisors know if it is there? Will there be pre-shift screenings? Random inspections? Sounds like Japanese Porn setup.
Back when I has in the Army, I learned to never give an order that I could not enforce nor give one where the results could never be observed.
Navy anecdote working with marine mammals (sea life, not Marines). Trained dolphins would dive at the trainer’s command and return after going to the bottom and get a nice fish reward. But the dolphins were smarter than their trainers and learned all they needed to do was hide under the boat for a few minutes, not swim all the way to the bottom and they would still get a nice fish. Trainers were giving commands that they could not observe or enforce.
We met a couple of women from Nashville, but with Hazard, Kentucky roots, in Lourdes, and, as they were leaving, one commented rather disparagingly about how many French women didn’t wear bras. Naturally, I said that I hadn’t noticed, which must have been true, because as I have often said, men never lie to women. If Delta hires stewardesses in France, the above might have been a concern.
The real concern is, of course, the unions and workplace protection laws. By making this policy known in advance of hiring, Delta establishes a policy that the employees know and must follow to keep their jobs. Delta now has leverage to enforce a reasonable discipline policy.
There will be all sorts of trouble with such a rule if it requires special underwear for women and not for men. Bras are discrimination and patriarchy. There is always at least one judge who will buy that argument and such people who want to Sue Delta have those judges on speed dial.
I worked at a machine shop that had the Jerry rule. It forbid machinists or anyone working near them from wearing a necktie. Jerry was instrumental in the creation of this rule because, for whatever reason Jerry always wore a necktie to his job operating a Bridgeport machine. One day he was operating it with a good-sized end mill and his tie got caught on the bit. Quickly his face got dragged toward the business end of the milling action. Lenny, his next-machine “Neighbor” reached over and hit the kill switch leaving it to the foreman to come over with a pair of shears to cut Jerry loose.
Wearing a tie was already a bad idea but the re-stated rule became known as the Jerry rule. I wonder who the underwear rule is named for.
There must be something on-going about the Delta culture. My BIL trained to be a pilot for them after 20+ years in the USAF and USA. Part way through the training he told them they were a complete mess and quit. He retired from United earlier this year.
and it better be clean underwear in case they end up in the hospital.
