Delta’s memo specifically states that dresses and skirts must be knee-length or below. Sports shoes are not allowed. Flight attendants can wear heels or sling-back shoes.
Flight Attendants New Guidelines: 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 coloured, without bold highlights or artificial shades.
– Long hair should be tied back and above the shoulders.
– Eyelashes should look natural.
– Nails should be modest. Neon colours, multi-colours, glitter or hand-made 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.
Delta’s memo reportedly specifically states that dresses and skirts should 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
The memo states, “Delta flight attendants spend the most time with our customers and are the face of our airlines. They should embrace the Delta brand as well as 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 as soon as the flight attendant wears the uniform.”
