Full Complement of Teeth is Good Oral Hygiene for Airline
Crew Several airlines are reported to have precise guidelines for the physical
appearance of their cabin crew, such as American Airlines which is said to
advise that: "Visible hair in nostrils and on ears or underarms must be
cut or otherwise removed”.
Good teeth and oral hygiene also make the list of
requirements for American Airlines, which says: "Teeth should present a
clean, natural appearance. Employees must have a full frontal complement of teeth.
Dental retainers must be gum toned or clear. Braces should be clear or
silver." Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air says : “Good oral hygiene should be
practiced to ensure that the teeth present a clean, natural appearance. Breath
sprays and mints are encouraged.”
Hawaiian Airlines is reported to advise that: “Hands and
nails should be kept well groomed at all times, with nail length not exceeding
an eighth of an inch beyond the finger tip," while United Airlines
outlines that finger nails “may be no
longer than ½ inch measured from the fingertip and should be even in length and
shape".
United Airlines also takes a strong stance on facial hair
on men, saying “ trendy facial hair styles are not permitted (e.g., small patch
of hair growing below lower lip)" for men and "mustaches may not
extend more than ¼ inch below the sides of the mouth", while Jet Airways
is said to require “a clear complexion (scars, pimples and blemishes not
acceptable)".
