Too revealing: Cathay attendants call for cover-up
Cathay Pacific flight attendants want the Hong Kong airline to redesign their uniforms because they are too revealing and may provoke sexual harassment.
Female cabin crew members say the white blouses are too short and the red skirts too tight, leaving them uncomfortable at work, the Cathay Pacific Airways Flight Attendants Union (FAU) said.
FAU honorary secretary Michelle Choi told the Hong Kong newspaper The South China Morning Post: "The blouse is too short and does not cover enough. Whenever a flight attendant bends down, her waistline is exposed.
"We believe the company intentionally does this to make us look a bit sexier and to let the passenger see more."
Choi said she believed the revealing uniforms were contributing to a rise in incidents of sexual harassment of cabin crew by passengers, which she now estimates affect each cabin crew member on one in every 10 flights.
