| - I don't personally know anyone who's had cosmetic surgery (and if they have, their surgeon did an excellent job at concealing it), and as such I've never seen botox, collagen, a facelift or a rhinoplasty up close. Until I flew with US Airways.
One of the flight attendants had such a terrifying amount of plastic surgery that it was actually uncomfortable to look at her face. I don't know what US Airways' hiring practices are, but I was under the impression that flight attendants should be somewhat pleasant to look at...or at least, not so frightening that children might burst into tears upon making eye contact. The woman was actually Hispanic but you wouldn't know by looking at her - face frozen in time, lips so full and stiff her mouth barely moved when she spoke (I heard someone explaining the safety features of the aircraft and was kept looking around to see whose mouth the words were coming from), her eyes had that sort of "crazy" taut look, MJ nose and shiny, just-facelifeted complexion à la Jocelyn Wildenstein (http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/26671/thumbs/s-JOCELYN-WILDENSTEIN-FACE-PHOTO-large.jpg)
Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages were complimentary and plentiful, both of my flights departed AND arrived early, and the pilot popped on the loudspeaker every so often to announce the Super Bowl score for those of us who cared. What's not to like?
