USA - The requirements for female flight attendants in 1954 were recently shared online, causing a stir in public opinion.

A Reddit user posted a list of "requirements" of Chicago Airlines and Southern Airlines of the US for the position of flight attendant in 1954.

Many people commented that the standards were like a list of conditions for the perfect woman that men wanted to find.

The flight attendant team in the 1950s mainly focused on showing the image of luxury, nobility and beauty.

They were usually young, beautiful girls, wearing uniforms and had the task of serving passengers gracefully and slowly.

The requirements focused on physical appearance and factors, such as a weight of 45-54kg, "slender legs", a height of 157cm to 165cm, beautiful teeth, natural hair color, etc.

The list also required flight attendants to have a "nice gait", "beautiful hands" and "smooth skin". This reflected the glamorous image of flight attendants at that time.

Notably, the list had almost no requirements related to the skills or professional knowledge needed for the job of flight attendants.

The Reddit post sparked a lot of debate, according to Nypost. Many social media users expressed shock and disagreement with these standards.
