How ya goin ta keep them down on the collective after they've got daisy maes?
Sex sells.
Doggone it!
I was coming on this thread to demand photos but then I saw, “some as young as 15”. I may be a dirty old man, but I’m not a DIRTY old man.
Bummer.
Oh, nooooo!
Those evil Asians.
We don’t do that sort of thing in the West, to sell everything from toothpaste and mouthwash to deodorant, women’s fashions and even dishwashing detergent.
No, we would NEVER do that!
Doesn’t sound like exploitation to me. Smart business move. Of course we’d choose to fly the airline with the prettier faces.
PING!
I do a lot of contract assignments in the Far East, always try to book on their national airlines.
Problem to be solved with full burkas ...
I’ve flown Garuda and the staff was knowledgeable, capable, and beautiful.
What’s wrong with choosing pretty flight attendants? As the article states, its passenger safety that comes first. But after that, why not choose the pretty ones over the smelly ones?
Wouldn’t The Economist be racist for calling Asians sexist?
I’ve done some flying in my day...and still do.There was a time when a stew’s looks might have been important but those days are long gone.Fares,schedules,aircraft (if it ain’t Boeing,I ain’t going) are several of the things that matter to me today.

Kind of like the difference between Chik-fil-a and every other major fast food place.

Which would you choose?
Unenlightened Asians are not yet aware that in today’s world hetero attraction is a disgusting criminal perversion.
Good for the Asians. At least they aren’t ashamed of being attracted to good looking women.
Last year's competition.
So, instead of young, pleasant and attractive customer service agents, these airlines are supposed to use grouchy old grandmas in these positions.
I doubt many would line up to fly an airline with a flight attendant work force made up of old women that looked and acted line Hillery. (shudder_)
Meanwhile, here in the US, we search for the most haggard skags we can find — sort of a “Miss Truckstop Waitress” contest.
And fags. Lotsa fags on airlines these days.
Yeah, skags ‘n’ fags. Makes flying even more enjoyable.
Here's a news flash, so do many females! Like almost ALL of them! News media is nothing but total B.S. anymore.
They all look good in yoga pants!
The non-whites that are inheriting this planet have very different views on “gender equality” than the disappearing Western populations...
