More than 1,000 Chinese high school graduates parade in bikinis for a chance to become flight attendants

 

Supermodels and flight attendants may seem like occupations that are a world apart but in China, they are remarkably similar.

 

One school in Qingdao, north-east China, hosted its annual audition yesterday to find high school graduates who would become either models or air hostesses

 

More than 1,000 graduates paraded in swimwear and airline uniforms in a bid to attract potentially lucrative contracts in aviation or fashion.

 

Students had to parade in skimpy bikinis as well as relatively conservative airline uniforms as part of the annual auditions
