I don't want to fall in to a Reddit like trap of [citation needed] as a reply, but what in this article leads you to believe that airlines can no longer promote employees for good performance? I don't know if you're saying it's a bad thing that airlines can no longer fire the recently un-hot, I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume no. Do you think that the service being better on the airlines you mention has any real link with hotness, or just incidental correlation?

There is simply no way such thing as a promotion at an airline. All privileges (pay, schedule selection) that are given to the pilots and flight attendants are based on hours-worked at that airline. There are no other rewards. I'm not talking about hotness at all. Some employees, attractive or otherwise, are simply bad at their job. Some other employees, are really good at their job. The airlines would get better employees if they fired the bad ones and gave the good ones more money or a better schedule. That's all I'm saying.
