News that American Airlines launched a competition to find attractive male and female crew members to appear as models in a photoshoot for the airline, has not gone down well among union members.
They say the 'Face Of Your Base' contest which asks flight attendants to vote on who looked the most 'superb' in the airline's new scarves, ties and striped shirts, undermines their duties of ensuring safety onboard a flight and is reminiscent of an all-women workforce facing weigh-ins and wearing girdles.
A spokesperson for the airline told a UK daily newspaper that its crew members were 'flattered to be nominated' for the promotional photoshoot.
