Bikini Competition Mandatory for Potential Flight Attendants
Ryan Boyd December 31, 2015
Oriental Beauty, a Qingdao, China modeling agency, is requiring prospective flight attendants to participate in a bikini competition for a chance at employment.
The audience was filled with recruiters from the aviation and fashion industry who planned to offer employment to women who were 5’6” tall, elegant, thin, and non-threatening, in addition to not having any visible scars.
It is unclear at press time whether recruiters were literal cartoon wolves in zoot suits.

This shows "just how screwed up and sexist that Chinese company's ( and Airlines who hire such Modeling Agency are ) it is a bloody OUTRAGE. President Xi wants to crack down on the 'mis treatment and "sex-ulisation" of women in China ( and don't try and tell me ~ 'that he knows nothing about it" ) As all Airlines in China have Government funds 'and or 'ownership. ( recent example THE SHANGHAI "MOTOR SHOW" ) But he allows this DISGRACE to be carried out by "this Modeling Agency and the Airlines that have engaged there 'services' Chinese society is 'so screwed up' ~ claiming culture and 'any excuse that they can find' China is full of many wonderful and warm hart'ed people ( prayed a'pon by DISGUSTING RICH PIGS ! ~ many in Government and of course 'The Peoples Party' ~ who care NOTHING about there PEOPLE 'other than cheap labor and there EXPLOITATION. ( please forgive any spelling errors )
Do the men have to pose in Speedo suits?
"..a Qingdao, China modeling agency, is requiring prospective flight attendants to participate.." How is what a modelling agency requires relevant in any for or shape to what airlines hire???????????
Actually, modern China has one of the best safety records on par with and if not better than much of Europe and America. You say you want competent but don't say anything about the over worked and exhausted flight crews in the United States. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB119198005864354292?cb=logged0.7958978852257133
Another example of comparing the oversized older FA's to their skinny, young counterparts at asian and other international carriers is silly. Well they can get away with this stuff while in the US you can't.
