Why not, other than making it difficult in the aisles. If the job gets
done, I don't much care what the person looks like. You said you want a
relatively professional cabin staff.

These gals make flyig on US carriers a distinctly dreary experience.

The last thing I want on a plane is excitement. If you have you rely on
looking at the flight attendants to ward off dreary, you need a better
book to read. "-)
