The
flight attendant industry has been accused of sexism for decades. While
the industry has made considerable reforms, some Chinese companies have
lagged slightly — er, decades — behind.modeling agency Oriental Beauty hosted a slightly unusual competition
over the weekend. Recruiters from both the aviation industry and fashion
industry watched from the audience as over 1000 female recent high
school graduates paraded around in conservative uniforms and bikinis,
hoping to land job contracts.
More than 1,000 graduates, from Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi and other
nearby provinces, competed for a chance at these often lucrative
contracts. Candidates were required to be 5'6" tall, unless they were
exceptionally beautiful, in which case, the requirement could be dropped
to 5'5". Seems fair
