Apparently the fewer red dress uniformed flight attendants, the greater the chances your plane after takeoff must rendezvous with a KC-10 for mid-air refueling.

So, they’re looking for redress regarding the red dress...

[pissant]

ah, for the good old days...

On Fox this afternoon,Stuart Varney tore these people apart.

They offer stewardess clothing in size 28?! I’m pretty sure a size 28 couldn’t fit down the aisle of most commercial airliners. A C-5, maybe.

There's no such thing as a "small 18". Not to belittle anyone who is a plus size, but Jesus Christ, they want up to a size 28? People who pay to fly if they are 'that' large have to buy two seats!

They limit your baggage, but the stewardesses can wear a size 28 ????????

[TXBlair]

Are there a lot of size 28 stewardesses?

Do they fit in the aisles? Jumpseats? (No offense to full-figured FReepers and lurkers!)

“If the dress wasn’t a tiny size 18, there would be less,” Reller said. “It’s a very small size 18, so that makes the numbers a lot larger.”

what does that even mean???? and what’s the big deal if you don’t get to wear red??? I’ve worked at places where you don’t get a choice of what to wear, let alone what color. It’s a choice to work there, and the color of your clothes has nothing to do with your ability to do your job or get paid like everyone else...get over it.

asking it to offer the red dress up to size 28.

OMG

Don't you wonder what the maximum waist size is on male attendant’s trousers?

Are they supposed to remove a seat from each row so the load can move down the isle? I hate isle seats because the fatties will keep knocking you in the shoulder every time they pass by.

Why would the porkers want to wear bright red anyway?

I'm not sure I remember the last time I saw a stewardess crack double digit size....and I'm counting the "guys" too

Richard Tyler couldn't help them out, so they called Goodyear.

Unfortunatly, blimps only come in silver.

[Army Air Corps]

I wanna fly on that airline!

A tiny size 18????

[pissant]

I reserved the whole plane for me.
