There is a similar thread on the BA Forum. This is what I posted.

I have see some cabin crew that are of an age and a complexion (fake tan) that would be likened to a good malt whisky. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that stuff.

However, in Asia their employment and discrimination laws are not as strong as they are in Europe. I have seen adverts for female cabin crew which are very discriminating such as age, height, build facial complexion, weight, non glass wearing applicants etc.

So you are a 6 foot medium built 35 year old female with acne scared face who weights in at 175 lbs with crooked teeth and has beer bottle glasses don’t apply for a cabin crew position with some Asian Airlines.

If you don’t believe me look at paragraph 5 of this article which is tame but I have seen worse. http://www.cebupacificfares.com/care...job-vacancies/
