What a deal this airline is almost into the current world of how to do things properly. Wonder if they still make the females wear short skirts? Wow thought the high heal thing died years back due to injuries and such.

Considering the fact that high heels for passengers are discouraged because of issue in case of emergency evacuations, this makes sense. And it is a step in reducing objectification of female attendants.

It used to be nice when you had nice, pretty and well dressed “Stewardess” like Melania Trump and Kate Middleton. Now you are stuck with Pant Suit Dog Meat like Hillary.

They cannot address passengers as Mr or Ms anymore to be PC, how can they ask Flight Attendants if they are male or female?

That's unfortunate. Without a doubt the best days of air travel were when high-heeled, knee-high boots were in. We really need to bring those days back.

No, and I agree. What’s next, baggy sweats and pajamas?

That’s because you don’t have to wear them (high heels) specially for several hours. I don’t think it will get to baggy sweats, etc. They even look ridiculous when passengers wear them. I personally dress comfortably elegant. I have even gotten upgraded to first class when my seat in the back is needed… and told that they like how I am dressed.
