Air hostess applicant 'had breasts checked for implants during job interview'

Submitted
 
Dozens of women applying for air hostess jobs with an Indonesian airline were ordered to strip nearly naked and have their breasts handled in medical check-ups, one of the applicants claimed today..... This of course is a crock as breast implants are not compressible or decompressible unless they contain a lot of air. Saline types may have a little air bubble out of them but is of no consequence unless it is a large volume. Even then the capsule will withstand huge pressures. Sounds like… (www.dailymail.co.uk) More...

Sad all around both the article and comments. You may find humor but I gather these hostesses were probably demoralized. Women aren't the only people getting implants if I may add.

In that country? Probably nothing. It's not the U.S., no legal or union protections.

I hope that at least /some/ kind of action was taken against it.

Tracy: I agree. Richard I too am a "tail hooker". I am a respectable man. I have never taken part in anything immoral. The question I must ask is what these gals' partners did about this assault.

...I'm female and I thought some of these comments were pretty funny. I mean, yeah, what Garuda is doing is pretty messed up and invasive, but. It also doesn't hurt to have a chuckle or two at a few tongue-in-cheek comments regarding the incident.

No purpose at all, except to further subjugate their employees by demonstrating their power over them through humiliation and intimidation. Maybe also live the dream that some of the more juvenile posters on this thread are experiencing. I'm female, and that fact is probably pretty apparent here.

Since I don't know if 'Tracy Sear' is a male or female let me ask this: why are there only males that are responding to this procedure? Outside of possible 'bomb implantation', what else is the purpose?

Thank you, John. I will take that as a complement. As a matter of fact I am a tail hooker

Why did I know this squawk would reconvene Tailhook? Richard so far wins the Tailhook Honorary Comment Award but caption nominations are still open.

At least the guy (I assume it was a male) didn't do the IUD check.

But are they going to check further down to ensure we don't get any 'Ladyboys" ??? I would think that is more important

I think it should be added to the preflight check list and made mandatory.

Many pilots have offer such examinations but it usually involved a few drinks on an overnight

I rented a car in Jakarta and was advised to "check the hooter" before leaving. I thought "What a country!"
