No, no. Please, go on.
No argument there.
Agreed. Probably just a flight attendant. Seems like an “official” spokesperson would use a different medium than youtube to get their message to the public.
I did love the Southwest-esque line, though, “If we banned pretty people from flying, we’d be out of business”. Classic.
Nah. There’s nothing wrong with having a reasonable self-estimation of your attractiveness.
That’s nothing like what they’re exhibiting.
It has been shown repeatedly that people generally do discriminate based on appearance - people tend to go out of their way to accomodate attractive people. This is why it’s particularly galling that these girls have arrived at the conclusion that they were experiencing negative discrimination.
Also, they have decent features and nice bodies, but character counts and they do come across as pretty repulsive. They should be drowned in a sack like unwanted kittens. (Or just ridiculed on the internet and on broadcast media. Whichever.)
“From 50 feet away, she looked like a dream. From 10 feet away, she looked like something meant to be seen from 50 feet away.” 
Or, “she was pretty. Then she opened her mouth.”

Both girls are average looking, and the brunette clearly wears way too much makeup in the photographs shown. They may be pretty in that “youthful” kind of way, but they’re both going to be less-than-average looking once age kicks in. Personally, I think the blonde looks like the average “going after the farmer’s young daughter” type than the “hot girl in a sorority” type. Then again, I grew up in a portion of South Florida where plastic surgery is not uncommon and I was familiar with which girls got “enhancements” or “fixes” of some sort as gifts from their parents in high school. (These were mostly rhinoplasty procedures.)
There are much prettier girls out there who are in the “average” to “hot” range. I went to (hot or not dot com) and found a few photos of what I consider to be prettier than those girls but are within the 18-25 range:
one
two
three
four
five
six
No real order, just randomly picking girls that I thought were more attractive.
Why?
The very fact that this particular YouTube video is now doing the rounds all over the internet suggests that it’s actually a very good way to get your meesage out to the type of people who are reading the story about the two women.
Also, the woman in the Southwest video says that her name is Brandy King, and a search brings up multiple news stories about Southwest that refer to a company spokesperson named Brandy King. And while the photo isn’t very big, it seems to me that the woman on this page could well be the same one that’s in the video.
I do agree, though, that she’s a pretty crappy spokesperson. She might be good at writing press releases or talking to reporters, but she’s pretty awful in front of the camera.
“She could very well pass for forty-three in the dusk with the light behind her.”

Well wonder of wonders, they did a call in to the local alternative station while I was comuting in this morning. The girls claimed that CNN did a big editing job on them and they didn’t claim anything about being pretty. Eh. But they did say that the reason the ‘old guy’ (who was like 40, so very old) in the restroom knew which one of the girls it was because the attendants ‘went out of her way’ to point out the blond.
Did they photoshop in that horrid outfit she was wearing? Did she at least take blame for that?
Is it just me or do fucking flight attendants have waaay too much pull- you have a disagreement with one, and regardless whose right, the airline will take their side and prevent you from taking your return flight, and you have to overpay for a days notice return trip on another airline, or walk or take the bus? You don’t question the stewadress or you don’t fly, who the fuck are they to have that status?
I can definitely understand if you fuck with one for no reason, but this appears to be a she said/she said type thing, and in the airlines view there is no way the stewardess could have been in the wrong? It’s like the mom of an asshole who thinks her kids an angel and can do no wrong. I’m sure we’ve all seen a bitch flight attendant, yet you’re supposed to take their shit- or else?
And yes they may be pissy little bitches, but the flight attendants could have been too. What was the point of the FA to show the guy in the loo who knocked on the door, unless it was to get back at the pissy little teen girl- what did they hope to achieve with that (if they were the guilty party) besides an altercation?
Hell naw. Uh-uh. I admit, I only clicked on the first two, but those girls do not fit the idea that has been seared into my brain as “pretty” by American media and society more than the blond in the video. No way. She had that nose that a lot of the girls try to get from surgery, not a wide nose like the girl in link 2. And she had the shiney yellow hair like the playboy bunny girls. And she had the blue eyes like the contacts they are always pushing on t.v. commercials. And she is young and her skin is clear, and her teeth are straight, white and even like the ones on the girls on Melrose Place, or The O.C.
Yeah. The blonde in the video is definitely the ‘pretty’ that I think of when I hear the average American say the word ‘pretty’.
I’m a little confused by your answer. You seem to be hip to the concept of beauty being in the eye of the beholder and individual perceptions of beauty not necessarily matching ‘commercial’ beauty. And then you answer ‘Hell naw’ to someone else’s examples of attractive girls. Isn’t that … weird?
I can’t really figure out if you’re saying “nuh uh, those girls are not examples of what typical Americans think is pretty” or “nuh uh, those girls are not pretty.” But either way, it’s odd that you’d consider your opinion so authoritative.
I gotta agree with Nzinga, the girls in those pictures are nice, but I think only one or two would qualify as “pretty.” Which is strange, because I’ve seen plenty of lookers on Hot Or Not before. But those six, nuh uh.
Um…they are the people trained by the airline to make decisions about safety in the air. They are the people responsible for the lives of 100+ people on the airplane. They’re trained in comprehensive first aid, disaster leadership, terrorist (and troublemaker) awareness and diffusion of dangerous situations. The fact that they may be cute and perky and they give you drinks and pretzels is NOT really their job - their job is to keep your sorry ass alive when you go down in flames over the Atlantic Ocean.
Who the fuck are you?
I’d hit it.
Well, four out of 6.
“Excuse me, waitress?”
“Sir, I’m not a waitress. I’m a flight attendant trained by the airline to make decisions about safety in the air. I am responsible for the lives of 100+ people on the airplane. I am trained in comprehensive first aid, disaster leadership, terrorist (and troublemaker) awareness and diffusion of dangerous situations. My job is to keep your sorry ass alive when you go down in flames over the Atlantic Ocean. Now – what can I get you to drink?”
I used to work at an airport hotel that took in 10 airline crews a night. IME, FAs are not really qualified for that sort of work, and that’s just as well, since no one really expects it of them.
They won’t keep your sorry ass alive if you go down in flames over the Atlantic Ocean. They will die along with you.
Is it me or is the brunette’s right breast bigger than her left?
