Underwear Is A Must For All Delta Air Lines Flight Attendants

In order to be an ideal Delta Air Lines flight attendant, you need to wear an underwear. This was clearly stated in recently released a two-page memo for "appearance requirements" for future hires outlining strict guidelines for how one should look during the interview process, training and throughout their career.

Delta outlines stipulations for grooming, hair, jewelry and clothing — and includes a specific rule regarding underwear.

According to the memo, potential hires and current flight attendants must wear "proper undergarments," and that they "must not be visible."

This is a new change to appearance requirements meant to make the guidelines "more specific," a Delta spokesperson told the Daily Mail.

"In the interest of transparency and clarity for all prospective candidates we are encouraging people to 'dress for success' and give a great first impression as they aspire to join the flight attendant ranks," the spokesperson said.

The document lists a range of specific guidelines aside from the need for underwear.

"Delta Flight Attendants spend the most time with our customers and are the face of our airline," the document says. "The customer service experience begins the moment a Flight Attendant puts on their uniform."

In the subsection for hair, it states attendants must have "natural-looking" hair color with "no stark highlights or unnatural shades." If their hair is longer than the shoulder, it must be "pulled completely back and secured away from the eyes," and if it still extends past the middle of the back, it needs to be pinned up.

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

"No neon colors, multi-color, adornments, glitter, hand-painted designs or airbrushed nails permitted," the memo explains. Additionally, tattoos must be covered, but "bandages are not suitable for coverage of tattoos at any time."

Only a single nose piercing is permitted, and gold, silver, white pearl or clear diamond/diamond-like studs are the only ones allowed. No other body piercings can be visible. Only two earrings per ear are allowed — but no hoops. Earrings must not be larger than the size of a dime.

Delta says that clothing "must be professional and fit properly" — "dresses and skirts should be at or below knee length." Athletic shoes are not allowed, and shoes worn must be closed-toe flats, heels or slingback. For those who wear the male uniform, a tie is required with button-collared dress shirts.
