God bless europeans! I don't know what these women are protesting exactly but I support the way they are doing it :p

Dozens of former Alitalia flight attendants strip off uniforms in protest - CBS News

"Dozens of former flight attendants from defunct Italian airline Alitalia stripped off their uniforms Wednesday, wearing only undergarments in a silent, choreographed protest in central Rome.


Long financially ailing, Italy's decades-old airline flew its last flight on Oct. 14. A new airline, ITA, began flying the next day, using some of Alitalia's aircraft. It also bought the Alitalia brand, but it is taking on fewer than 3,000 of Alitalia's 10,000 employees.

Union officials say those who will work for ITA are being hired at significantly lower pay scales."

Not even the source link explains why they are stripping lol.

I flew Alitalia once, the plane was old and the movie selection lacking, but they served pretty big (plastic) cups of wine even on economy class : 8/10

Any good looking ones? Slim pickings.

They sure stripping is the kind of protest that will help their cause? If I was owner or customer, more stripping the better.

If only it was Air Singapore flight attendants.
Never taken Air Singapore, but I have taken Cathay Pacific. Going by what I read all those big Asian airlines are similar. Good looking chicks and awesome service and airplanes.

When I did a 12 or 13 hour trip to HK, it was the best flight I've ever been on. The economy seats were better than usual, great meals any time, even the movies they had on were good.

One time I slept through the meal. When I woke up the cabin was dark and most people were asleep. I got up and went to the back and asked if I could still get dinner and she said ya and made me food. She said dessert included some ice cream bar (maybe Hagan Dasz I forget). So when I was done and went to the back where the attendants were and asked if I could get dessert. She opened up the freezer and said grab what you want.

Where the fuck is this service and slick airplane when I take Air Canada (or United when I fly to the US)? I'm not expecting great food or anything doing a 1 hr flight to Montreal, but the food sucks doing a 5 hr flight to Vancouver or Vegas and the service/personality isnt as friendly as Cathay. Can you believe it? One Asian flight I've taken having nicer staff than the million local flights I've done.

Attention helps their cause. Stripping in protest gives them that attention. I doubt either of us would have clicked on a story about "Flight attendants protesting".
I spent more time trying to eyeball which one is the best looking. And most arent in those pics. The best looking one is probably the one in the middle of the pic wearing the slightly golden lingerie, or the one on the far left in that pic.

Singapore Air is especially known for their amazing customer service and attractive flight attendants. It's a standard they're very proud of.

Do Europeans typically wear undergarments like that? In America those ladies would be standing in a bra and underwear.

Its true, my favorite is EVA Air. They'll keep bringing you beers if you ask, even if you're sitting in economy. In the end I just asked her to bring a stack of them to save her having to keep getting me replacements, and she did.

They do realize they're just advertising free for the company, right? 'Cause now people will only fly that airline in hopes of a peek at some T&A.

Also nude pics or it didn't happen.

Plus the Asian flights I've taken have all been cheaper than Air Canada.

EVA Air is dope. Love landing in Songshan Airport in the middle of Taipei on a sunny day with that little traditional Taiwanese ditty playing in the background. So chill. The pilots are fucking beasts too. My last flight with them in 2019 was during a typhoon. Only EVA was flying out of the airport, and they just flew through it like it was no thing at all.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
A flight on Virgin Atlantic one time, cabin crew:

'if you want to visit your nan fly with Virgin, if you want to see your nan still working, fly with British Airways'

Well known in the Asian community in the PNW that they put out if you have money. Several ppl I know divorced their wives and took Singapore Airlines girls as their baby mamas.

This is now a flight attendant ranking thread.

1. Singapore Airlines - just, *chef's kiss*
2. EVA Air - very friendly too
3. ANA - demure, a bit more modern than JAL, a little cold sometimes though
4. JAL - demure, a bit traditional, some older, but always friendly
5. Qatar Airways - sometimes headscarves, but whatever
6. Virgin Atlantic - sometimes a bit too tarty

Some rank: Lufthansa - if you're into the matronly German woman thing

Plastic surgery award: Korean Air

European airlines need to up their game. I can't comment on North America's literal air busses.

And yes, I do have yellow fever before you say it.

Do Europeans typically wear undergarments like that? In America those ladies would be standing in a bra and underwear.

It's (or rather was) Alitalia. Second only to British Airways in Europe for hiring old prudes.

Flew to Sicily a few timeswith an ex to see her family on Al Italia. I don't remember the air hostesses being anything special.

Then again if I kept looking I would have been punched in the head by the missus.

Don't underestimate Sicilian women and jealousy.
