Question about FA hiring practice in the US
Let me preface this post by saying there is absolutely no intention to offend any current FA working in the US on my part.
Well, here it goes. A lot of Star flyers have offered countless praises of how eye-pleasing the famous "SQ girls" are, and I believe SQ themselves are very proud of them as well. I know Singapore and US have different labor laws, so no US airlines can compete with SQ on this part of the equation (I am not suggesting that the appearance of FAs has a big influence on passenger purchase decisions, though). However, my question is how do casinos in the US get away with hiring fairly eye-pleasing cocktail waitresses only and not run into problems with "discrimination" regulations? I can be wrong, but in my own personal experiences, I have never seen any cocktail waitresses that are overweight and/or fairly old (again, not that I have a problem with these two characteristics, but I just wonder how casinos have been able to get around this).
