Tattoos

[MQAAord]

She may have a point. AA and Eagle (not sure if either still do it) definitely used to require clothing removal during their interview. If they actually had something against folks with *any* tattoos, they certainly would have had the opportunity to weed them out during the interview process.

During both AA & Eagle F/A interviews I was required to display my arms to the extent that a short sleeve uniform shirt would show. If a candidate is wearing pants they made the candidate show their ankles/lower legs. During the medical we were specifically asked about tattoos and it was made very clear the contingent job offer would be rescinded if we were lying about any tattoos, and we would be released from training for any visible tattoos also.

It was pretty clear: Visible tattoo = no job. If the tattoo was where it wouldn't be seen in a uniform (lower back, shoulder, etc) it was a non-issue, but no *visible* tattoos.

So it seems that where I'd like to get one.... above the knee by like 4 inches would be just fine?

During the medical portion of the Eagle interview (at least 2005 and before) they made you (cough) show more than what would be exposed with a uniform.

I highly doubt tattoos would be a big deal now...but based on that 2-day interview for AA's regional and seeing some of the people that didn't make it, I wouldn't be surprised if they used to use the medical portion to select who they wanted back in the day.

I'm going to prove to you how much of a bad ass I am by getting a tribal.

Oh man I love tribal... What tribe are you from!?

 

[Roger Roger]

My whole back will be filled by the time I am done with my career...

I'm at one every 5 years right now...I'm sure it'll go up now that I know more folks in the Alaska aviation community.

Derg ... You should watch an episode of Tattoo Nightmares where a "straight guy" walks in with a tribal tramp stamp 3" above his butt bone... It'll make any fat man skinny again after laughing at this dudes mistake a year ago... He thinks covering it up with a scarecrow, and a few pumpkins is awesome, and makes him a certifiable badass...

 

[smack300]

I'd go with the Koi fish. That seems to be the ticket.

 

[chrisreedrules]

I'm a fan of traditional americana myself.

 

[KHanson]

I'm a big fan of pinup girls. Keeping the '40's alive.

<in 17 year old kid voice> nah man, they're the shizzlepops daawg! whatever they do I'll do behind my parents back so I can be cool. Check out that bro's undercarriage... Ramones denim jacket, pants tighter than my girlfriends pants, and a cat tail hangin' down on a chain bra' . (Sorry, I heard something similar to this in Woodfield Mall a few days ago, couldn't resist) ...

I do NOT grasp the concept of "Reality TV". At all.

From the very 1st episode of "Survivor", I remember thinking to myself, "That looks pretty dumb." Yes, yes it is.

Then, like a norwalk virus on a cruise ship, it spread. And spawned such atrocities as "Big Brother" and "Real Housewives." Its wickedness not only grew but morphed into "American Idol" and "The Voice", and such travesties as that tattoo show and other related garbage.

 

[derg]

They're cheap, people watch and people are far more likely to demean themselves for fame than an actor.

Another reason I'm glad to get rid of cable.

I had to sit through three hours of "Tru TV" about a year ago while visiting family. Biggest load of tripe network on earth.

Besides, I saw "Jersey Shore" do three takes of the same scene in Las Vegas once. Oh yeah, that shizzle's real.

Not to plug myself here... But I'm currently writing a paper (One of the last of my undergrad) on 'Mental Health Reality TV'. I posted a survey a little while back in one of the other sub-forums. But if you guys wouldn't mind filling it out if you haven't already, it'd really help me write my paper.

It was easy. I just did a Google search for "worst tattoo ever" and there you were. When are you going to get that other nipple pierced?
