LONDON - Virgin Atlantic's female flight attendants are known for their red skirts, ruby shoes and bold crimson lipstick. But in a surprising move announced this week, the airline gave them new options: to go without makeup and to wear pants.
"We have been listening to the views of our people and as a result have announced some changes to our styling and grooming policy that support this." Virgin Atlantic said it made its decision based on staff feedback. Under the previous policy, female crew members were required to wear blush, mascara and red lipstick at a minimum.
"Not only do the new guidelines offer an increased level of comfort, they also provide our team with more choice on how they want to express themselves," Anderson said. "In a customer-facing role, with the anti-social hours we do and in the terrible cabin lighting, frankly, I feel I need it to look semi-human," the flight attendant, Angela Caserta, wrote on Facebook.
