I have worked in and around the aviation industry off and on for several years (A&P/IA) and have heard many times that on appearance alone, I would make a great pilot. Unfortunately, last time I tried I couldn't get a class 1 medical since I don't have near perfect eyesight... but passed the DOT physical for a class A CDL just fine, go figure.
As much as what DA says may disgust you, it's they way business is done, and not only in aviation. When clients are paying tens of thousands of dollars for a service, they expect to be treated like Kings. Part of that is providing a certain image, and an attractive and well groomed flight crew is one small part of that image.
Have you ever been in the offices of a large heavy equipment dealer? The secretaries that work in the public eye and who deal with the customers directly could all be Playboy models. I highly doubt that is simply coincidence.
How about an investment firm? Walk in to one sometime and drool over the receptionist, I guarantee she'll be a babe.
Book or magazine publisher, corporate headquarters for any store you can mention, etc... are all going to have smokin' hot babes directly in view of the public, get used to it.
Hiring strippers? Great move. It's sad that you think strippers in general are dumb air-heads. I don't frequent the strip clubs, but I have known several girls over the years who danced and not one of them was anywhere near dumb. Most were paying their own way through school or had recently received their degrees, both under-graduate and graduate.
If a hot dumb one happened along and tried to become a flight attendant, she would be back in the strip club so fast her head would spin. You see, there is a fair amount of training involved. Tests, drills, certifications, various requirements to be met, and all of those things are on-going to be able to keep the required certification to be able to keep the job.
You don't seem to have any concept of business and how to run a successful one. One of the things I noticed is that you are railing against making money <gasp> how dare a business make money!! Well, how can I put this.... The most important job a business owner has, is to figure out how to make money, how to keep making money, and how to make as much money as possible while spending as little as possible in the process. Profit is not a dirty word (despite common misconception) without profit, there would be no jobs, period.
When was the last time you were on an airline, or even looked around in an airport at some of the pilots and flight attendants? They look exactly like everyone else. Some tall, some thin, some fat, some short.
You haven't needed to have "near perfect eyesight" for a first class medical since the 1970's.
