Delta Airlines recently issued a memo detailing appearance requirements for flight attendants during interviews, training, and career advancement. According to the memo, flight attendants must wear "proper undergarments," which must remain invisible. Delta stressed the importance of a professional and neat appearance.

The memo stated, "Delta Flight Attendants spend the most time with our customers and are the face of our airline.

- Nails should be simple and subtle, with no neon colors, multi-colors, glitter, or hand-painted designs.
