Do they have Spirit Airlines in your area? Yesterday, I was standing at the counter of a Staples office supply store when I ran into a woman with straight blonde hair that went to the middle of her back. She was probably in her mid 30s. She was making copies from a book of hairstyles. She told the clerk she didn't know which style to go with and she turned to me to get a man's point of view. When I told her I didn't think she should cut it at all, she giggled and said that was what her husband said. However, she was about to become a flight attendant and Spirit Airlines forced all of their stewardesses to cut their hair above the shoulder. I was aghast. I don't know if I ever flew Spirit Airlines before (I don't think they have the greatest reputation for safety anyway), but I surely won't now.

It is not necessary for security reasons to cut a stewardess hair. So only someone who thinks he has a opinion forces this to others who are dependent from him. I hate this people. They should end at the garbage of history.

Did you verify her story? It may well be true, but I personally would check out the facts before I boycotted a company!

It has been about 10 years or more but American Airlines required those becoming flight attendants to have their hair cut. I had a friend who had her hair cut. The standard style had to be above collar length. She said that some attendants also had to have their hair colored. She was telling us about one girl who had natural blond hair to her waist. They cut it to chin length and dyed it black. I don't know if they still do this - it only pertained to new attendants. The hair requirements relaxed after 18 months.

Yeah it is the same thing with Canadian airlines. I don't really know the reasons behind it but they can only have a certain length and it has to be stylist.

This Canadian Airlines I have visited today. They share some box with Condor and they had no idea how to give me a confirmation about my return fly date from Las Vegas. Fortunately I fly back with Condor and the stewardess I saw at my incoming fly had midback length straigth hair.

Any airline that does this is being ridiculous. How on earth
can they expect people to show company loyalty is such
useless and loathesome rules are enforced? I would prefer
to be served by an attendant who'se herself than one whose
hair they've dyed. What kind of impression do they think
they'll make on me by making her cut her hair and change
its color? Not a favorable one certainly. I intend to post a further query about this on www.airliners.net
