I have heard that it can be more difficult to swim in a skirt than in shorts or jeans, something to do with the skirt wrapping around legs. The sensible thing would be to train them wearing exactly what they would be wearing on a daily basis.
I don't know, these days standards a getting lower and lower!

By MK - wamtec@compuserve.com Sat 28/02/04 04:56:33 GMT FYI...I have several tv documentary clips on this...and sadly...we need to step back in time to the 1970's...cos these days almost all flight attendant pool training is done with t shirts and shorts on in the pool....i.e. not in flight attendants uniforms. The ONLY airline in the world that I know of, that still does pool training for their flight attendants in full uniforms with hosiery...is Japan Airlines....and I have one nice documentary clip on this.
FYI...they just had 2 different shows about flight attendant pool training on satellite networks. Last month there was a show from Brazil featuring Varig Airlines flight attendants pool training...and just this week they had a nice long segment on the SBS Korean Channel ...showing Korean Airlines girls in the pool doing their training....but sadly...it was all t shirts and shorts and pants stuff...not uniforms.
Same is true for all American airlines these days...they only wear casual clothes in the pool...not their uniforms.
Japan Airlines is the only tv clip I have seen where they actually wear their full uniforms in the pool.

By from an interview.... - Sat 28/02/04 04:29:17 GMT This is no lie..I was interviewed by Delta Airlines many years ago for a F/A position and the instructor told us the training we would go thru..One point they made key on is that water ditching and for this All students must jump in the pool with clothes on.. They did tell us that we would wear casual clothes for this since on class days F/A were in dress up outfits, so they said jeans and pants and t shirts, etc were fine to were. When I was at American AA training facility in Dallas, it was the same thing. They had a school for F/A, & tkt agets. They had a giant pool for water traing in one of their buildings. I never saw this in action because I was a gate agent for AA, but know many girls who were F/A and did go to the pool dailiy for clases.

By Getwet - Sat 28/02/04 01:25:27 GMT Website: http://www.skychick.com/training3.html Check out Step 5, Survival Training. Says to beak out the swimsuit but ALSO bring a change of clothes because you'll also have to jump in fully clothed! When working for Delta, a couple flight attendants told me they had to train fully clothed in a pool. Back then it was dresses or skirts/blouse with hose and shoes. They had to wear the full uniform. I also knew an older woman that had been a flight attendant. When she trained she said it was dresses with garters and stockings with heels. Would be nice to get some pics of this sort of thing.
