Shocking ‘qualifications’ for cabin crew in 1954 resurface: ‘Slender legs and clear skin’

Appalled social media users called the outdated list a call out for ‘eye candy’



In 1954, qualifications for stewardesses included being single, aged 22-28, with specific physical traits like slender legs, clear skin, and a good figure, as well as height and weight requirements. Educational qualifications were at least four years of college or two years plus business experience. Temperament requirements included a lively conversation, an even temper, and willingness to please. These qualifications, recently resurfaced, have sparked horror on social media, contrasting with today's less restrictive standards, such as British Airways' 2022 uniform rule changes allowing more personal choice.
