For instance, ANA Japan had waist standards for its flight attendants (I haven't met an ugly ANA flight attendant.). Can you imagine something like that flying in America without MSNBC or VOX chiming in concurrently with legal suits? Not arguing one method or another, I like some of the labor laws in the states (compare our salaries to Asian carriers,) just pointing out a huge reason for difference in customer service.
For some reason people keep making this silly statement that can't be any further from the truth..., the labour laws in Japan are extremely employee sided, it is virtually impossible to fire an employee in Japan, also it is very unionized.Originally Posted by C130driver
It is important to note that many of these Asian companies can be amazing at customer service (and they really are, wow, I miss Asia..) because they aren't restricted to stringent labor laws like in America.

Your assesment is absolutely incorrect...., although it is true that you don't see many overweight flight attendants in Japan but it is because you simply don't see many overweight people in Japan period.
