Will you have to wear a suit to fly on Emerites?
You did in the "golden age"

Also I don't see any 70 year old FA's on Emerites? What gives?

What "gives" is their hiring practices and labor laws SUCK. Do you REALLLY want that here in the U.S.? If so, we are more screwed than we think....

EK attracts FAs from all over the world. We had a couple leave VX to go to EK. They have tons of British and Australian FAs. These are first-world ladies and if they really were treated harshly/unfairly they'd know how to respond and when to quit and leave. Some of their labor laws are comparable here in terms of pay and working conditions. I think the main complaint really is that they can demand whatever they want for hiring criteria. Eg, female, single, age below 26, etc.
