I'm a flight attendant. I thought I'd get a cute uniform — but in reality, I just get sweaty legs and blisters on my feet.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ayla Murick, a regional flight attendant who doesn't like her uniform. Insider has confirmed her employment and airline, which she's chosen not to share for her privacy. The following has been edited for length and clarity.
While I love the flexibility and responsibilities of this job, one part of being a flight attendant that's always bugged me is that the uniforms we have to wear are pretty awful. Here's why.Growing up, I thought flight attendants wore such fashionable outfits. But my company's uniforms are anything but fashionable.I'll never forget the first time I tried on the uniform in 2014. It was a white shirt with navy pants and a vest.
The short-sleeved dress doesn't have buttons or a belt, and looks like a navy burlap sack. It's not flattering for most body types to wear. Personally, I've spent quite a bit of my own money throughout the years buying extra uniform items. But most of my money goes to alterations, since the uniforms don't fit well. The company doesn't pay for alterations or cleaning. That's on us to do. The rules are strict
