Full sleeve tats which I wasn’t too surprised by. But the nose (bull) ring through her septum honestly threw me for a loop.
Suppose FA supervisors aren’t supervising their folks.

She sounds hot.

Can probably handle an unruly passenger in a fistfight too.

As much as I would like to think the airline industry is some leading-edge endeavor, the reality is that it is a very mature industry. United (in some shape or form) has been flying large turbine-powered passenger aircraft into EWR since the late 1980s (starting with the merger of Continental and People Express). That's over 35 years ago. That's 35 years in which they've had the chance to study the operations, plan for improvements, and mitigate any risks. Operating a hub like EWR is a complex endeavor, for sure. But not some unsolvable mystery.

The reality is that, within the HQ walls of the Willis Tower, United has looked at the potential fixes and improvements for EWR, and made the cold calculation on what was worth it, and what wasn't. And you're seeing the reality of that today.
