You can't compare the EU to the USA

Exactly you can't, people's money goes much further in the States, you all pay a lot more for gasoline, housing, food etc. property tax? depends where you live in Philadelphia it's 1000 dollars a year, New York much higher. When you compare all the things life in America still is the most comfortable.

News / "To understand Poland you must understand Frederic Chopin" (Stratfor Friedman) [74]

Friedman and he wallows in clichès and stereotypes with the occasional wrong fact thrown it but that is for the Poles to decide.

I agree with him on most of what he says. I still believe Poland's main foreign friend and ally should be the United States, others have proven throughout history to be greedy and untrustworthy. I hope his predictions about Poland becoming an economic power come true.

Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [382]

Passengers don't like what they see.... " With the upcoming Bravo television show starting on March 24th called the "Fly Girls", a reality show about some "hot" flight attendants for Virgin America, I thought what better timing than to discuss the topic of why flight attendants in the United States are so old, and as my friend in the Air Force so eloquently calls them, "Fugly?"

Attractiveness is in the "eye of the beholder", but when you fly on foreign carriers like Singapore Airlines, JAL, ANA, Emirates, Virgin, Sky E. and some other foreign carriers....... You can really "see" the difference immediately." airlinenightmare.com/blog/?p=367

And I pointed out, correctly, that discrimination on the grounds of gender and age is illegal in the EU. Which Poland is part of. But you just want to argue. Badly.
And keep coming back for more!!

Right and that's just a coincidence that Virgin Atlantic (British) Lufthansa (German) KLM(Dutch) Aer Lingus(Irish) Iberia (Spanish) oddly all EU states, have the most attractive flight attendants and few "sea hags" like LOT does.

You actually said:PennBoy:they just hire old sea hags, they should hire young sexy girls

You have a learning disability, I said LOT hires old seas hags and should hire young sexy girls like other airlines do they should follow others example.

HAHAHA right, well how convenient that the height, weight and general appearance "safety" requirements fit comfortably into what is the commonly accepted idea of beauty. That's why they're having these "ugly" girls pose and represent their airlines.

I said that I was talking about Polish (LOT) flight attendants NOT all in general.

Yes you said:

Look up at my discussion we were talking about Polish stewardesses (LOT) I said they (LOT)hires old sea hags NOT all airlines, i said they should follow other airlines examples and do as they do hire young sexy girls.

You do realise that they're there for safety, not to look at?

Nonsense. Cabin crew aren't models or Playboy Bunnies whose role is connected to their looks.

You're contradicting yourself.

Neither in fact, but nobody expects you to follow a simple line of reasoning.

Odd:

I said airlines hire young attractive girls you said airlines don't hire based on looks because it's discrimination "Cabin crew aren't models or Playboy Bunnies whose role is connected to their looks"

Who's talking about fat faces or "midgets". Show me a "midget", whatever that is, working as cabin crew.

Dude that's what i was talking about and you contradicting, I said they should hire pretty sexy girls you said no it's discrimination and airlines dont do that they hire everybody, now you're saying show me a ugly cabin crew member.

That is the subject

Jesus you gotta be the dumbest **** on this forum, READ what is being discussed on that post don't let your mind wonder off, if you can. If you go back carefully you'll notice it was my response to that wrong statement you've made. I said that I was talking about Polish (LOT) flight attendants NOT all in general.

We aren't talking about short and fat. Those guys/women can't become cabin crews. We're talking about facially attractive. But you seem to have got a bit confused about that.

You're the one who's confused. I don't know in what other way to explain it to you. A fat face doesn't look as good as it would if it was thin, and if you see a girl with a pretty face and notice she's a "MIDGET" you wont think she's a hot as if she was tall, you feel disappointed. Being thin and tall makes the girl's face look better, get it?

I should hope so, since this thread's about LOT.

Don't change the subject you didn't read, you were wrong.

Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [382]

Are you really saying that fulfilling those requirements somehow ensures beauty?

Well if a girl has a pretty face but is a short and fat it makes her look uglier doesn't it, being tall and thin brings out her full potential highlighting her attributes, including face.

Now you're contradicting yourself as usual, as a few minutes ago you yourself squeaked:

Well if you actually read what i wrote you see that I was talking about LOT flight attendants

you must have got lucky that day ;-)

Bingo, I thought I was the only one who noticed their appearance.

It's not that, they just hire old sea hags, they should hire young sexy girls many men even females pick a airline carrier to fly on just because of the sexy flight attendants.

Didn't mean all of them are shouldn't have posted that, oops. Of course height and weight is, tall and thin looks good everyone knows that it adds to the girls face. I don't think any of these women are below 170cm and fat.

If AerLingus, Lufthansa, KLM or Iberia had a policy of hiring
PennBoy:
young attractive girls

Well of course it can't be the official policy that would be discrimination but alot of airlines do it anyway. If the airline does the training (as it usually is) it decides who is passes and who doesn't. Can a lawyer prove the flight attendant wasn't hired because of her looks when officially (even if it wasn't the case) she failed. There's ways to go around it.

Training Language Height and weight Uniforms and presentation These requirements and intertwined with appearance and attractiveness. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_attendant#Height_and_weight

You trying to say a pretty girl can't do the same job? she can be there for both safety and pleasing the eye. That's why most airlines look for young attractive girls, nothing wrong with that. If it's a national carrier like LOT it represents the country and what it has to offer.

" Virgin Atlantic has the most attractive flight attendants, says an industry survey.

The British carrier received 53% of the vote from 1,000 people surveyed by the Business Travel and Meetings Show, according to The Australian.

Singapore Airlines' cabin crew followed, receiving 18% of votes.

Others in the top 10, in ranking order: Etihad, Emirates, Aer Lingus, Lufthansa, Cathay Pacific, TAP, KLM and Iberia.

I must admit from the airlines I've flow in SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) had the most pleasant flight and best service .

Personally I would not fly on a 787 until its been in service for several years.

Would you prefer to keep flying on those old 767s ?

LOL. Yes, Americans are constantly preparing to an apocalypse.

Fast food is for poor people

upper middle class and upper class Americans don't do that, they take it 1 meal at a time, eat something off the grill or eat out at a nice restaurant, exercise. It's mostly the lower classes who've experienced hunger and don't know if a few days from now they'll have enough to eat that are raised like that, to stuff themselves with food.

Fast food is for poor people; this has not happened in Poland yet as it is still a novelty and the choice is limited.

Exactly once there's a McDonald's or a Kebab shop on every corner things will change.

Polish society as a whole still hasn't yet reconciled the problem of eating as much as you can

That's human survival instinct to eat as much as possible and store it (fat, protein) in the body for later. That's when self control comes into play.

Life / What is Poland's view on obesity? How healthy, fit are Poles? [166]

I've heard that the French lack many obese people because both snacking in between meals and taking second helpings during meals are considered taboo.

Smart people you';re supposed to eat often but the right proportions. Once people in Poland will be able to afford going to a fast food joint daily there will be more overweight people it's bound to happen. Here in the States they say eating healthy is becoming a luxury, that's bs that's just being lazy. One can buy him/herself a George Foreman grill for instance and grill some chicken breasts or a Salmon, cook some veggies in just a few minutes.
