Ah, I completely forgot!

On Resocha flights to Honolulu, the flight attendants also dress differently
from the usual JAL flights. True, the lone Japanese crew chief, if male, is
middle aged and wears a black tuxedo. The women (including Japanese crew chief,
if female, any age) wear green uniforms with bright colored scarves, I think
orange or yellow. I have never seen an ordinary male flight attendant in Japan,
just the one trainee in a flight attendant's school on TV years ago, whose fate
never became clear.

That JAL continue to favor attractive flight attendants, be they male or
female, and put them in professional, yet attractive uniforms. I don't care
about nationality as long as they can speak common languages. "Standard"
dialect only, no teenspeak.

Flight attendants should be tall enough to reach overhead compartments unaided,
and thin enough to pass down aisles walking forward, preferably able to squeeze
by a colleague with a cart.

Flight attendants should have two usable legs and two usable arms with at least
one hand and two fingers. They also need to be sighted in at least one eye.
Hearing impaired flight attendants must be able to lip read in common
languages. Pregnant flight attendants should be grounded to avoid exposure to
solar radiation.

Invasive background or security checks should also be conducted, at least prior
to hiring. Firearms restricted to approved cockpit crew.

"Tasteful" use of cosmetics, piercings, and tattoos. No smoking, eating or gum
chewing while making rounds. No stereos or handheld games. No wireless
communications devices. Try to limit restroom visits to break time. Prayer in
separate, designated prayer areas.

Did I forget something?
