American company Delta Airlines has introduced strict rules for candidates preparing to become flight attendants. These include wearing ‘proper underwear’. As soon as a two-page memo full of such rules was released, discussions have intensified, where clear guidelines have been given for everything from hair to nails and tattoos.

The company issued these guidelines

According to media reports, the guidelines issued by the company said,

– Hair should be naturally colored, without bold highlights or artificial shades.

– Long hair should be tied back and above the shoulders.

– Eyelashes should look natural.

– Nails must be modest. Neon colors, multi-colors, glitter or handmade designs are not allowed.

– Tattoos must be covered. Bandages cannot be used for this, but clothes or waterproof makeup can be used.

– Only one piercing is allowed in the nose. Whereas, only two piercings can be done in each ear. These should be small.

There are reports that Delta’s memo specifically states that dresses and skirts must be knee length or below. Also, wearing sports shoes is not allowed. Flight attendants can wear heels or sling back shoes.

What’s in the memo

“Delta flight attendants spend the most time with our customers and are the face of our airlines. They must embody the Delta brand and be passionate about improving the customer experience. Delta flight attendants are expected to create a welcoming, caring environment for our customers. The customer service experience begins the moment a flight attendant puts on their uniform,” the memo said.
