Narrative:

Flight attendants are having elective plastic surgery performed during their layover. This involves local anesthesia; cutting of skin and stitches which leaves swelling and bruising. They arrive at airplane in bandages or just swollen and bruised with sunglasses to 'cover' it up. They seem uncomfortable and in pain. This is uncomfortable for me and the flight attendants feel like this is totally ok.
