Air France height requirements?

Question

Hey I would love to be an air hostess for Air France. I speak french and english so that's all good. Only problem is I'm just about 5'2 ( I think by the time I'm 21 I will be 5'2)

Does anyone know how tall a woman has to be to be an air hostess for Air France? Thanks!

Answer 1

when i applied they said you must be at least 6 foot 5 to attend. but i am a guy.

Answer 2

I doubt that any airline officially and openly has any such requirements. Having said that, theory and practice are two different things. Case in point, when was the last time you saw a flight attendant who was fat and/or bald and/or had lots of acne scars, etc? Those things are irrelevant in terms of a person's ability to do the job well, but we live in a superficial society that places a great deal of emphasis on physical appearance. People have a tendency not to be honest about this however, and of course the notions of "attractive" or "unattractive" are subjective anyway. At any rate I wouldn't let your lack of height discourage you from applying. Good luck to you!
