Delta introduces strict underwear rules for cabin crew

This is how you dress for success at Delta.

Delta Air Lines reminds potential flight attendants to wear underwear.

The airline recently released a two-page memo on “appearance requirements” for prospective employees, which outlines strict guidelines for how employees should present themselves during interviews, training and throughout their careers.

The Delta Law sets out rules on appearance, hairstyle, jewellery and clothing, and also includes a detailed rule on underwear.

According to the memo, prospective employees and current flight attendants must wear “appropriate undergarments” that “must not be visible.”

This is a new change to appearance requirements, a Delta spokesperson told the Daily Mail, aimed at making the guidelines “more specific.”

“In the interests of transparency and clarity for all potential candidates, we encourage everyone to ‘dress for success’ and make a good first impression if they wish to join the flight attendant ranks,” the spokesperson said.

In addition to the need to wear underwear, the document lists a number of detailed guidelines.

“Delta flight attendants spend the most time with our customers and are the face of our airline,” the document reads. “The customer service experience begins the moment a flight attendant puts on her uniform.”

The hair subsection states that contestants must have “natural-looking” hair with no “bright highlights or unnatural tones.” If their hair is longer than shoulder length, it must be “pulled back completely and secured away from the eyes,” and if it still extends past the middle of the back, it must be tied back.

When it comes to care, “personal hygiene and cleanliness should always be maintained.” Eyelashes “should look natural,” and “all nails must be the same color.”

“No neon colors, multi-colored, embellishments, glitter, hand-painted designs, or airbrushed nails are allowed,” the note explains. Tattoos must also be covered, but “bandages are not suitable for covering tattoos at any time.”

Only one nose piercing is allowed, and only gold, silver, white pearl, or clear diamond/diamond-like earrings are allowed. No other earrings may be visible. Only two earrings are allowed in the ear—no hoops. Earrings may not be larger than a dime.

Delta says clothing “must be professional and well-fitting” — “dresses and skirts should reach to or below the knee.” Athletic shoes are not allowed, and shoes worn must be flat, closed-toe shoes, heels, or heeled sandals. Those wearing the men’s uniform must wear a tie with button-down collared shirts.

They also said that on the day of the hearing, you will not be allowed to swear, chew gum or use phones or headphones.

“We will work with you to customize a specific way of dressing or physical appearance
observance of religious beliefs or practices unless doing so poses a safety hazard or other undue burden
“in the company,” the note explains.
