Wow, welcome to the 31sr century.
Airline to let female crew wear trousers
Female cabin crew at Cathay Pacific have won a battle to scrap a rule forcing them to wear skirts.
The Hong Kong airline has agreed flight attendants can choose to wear trousers, after intense union pressure.
Some crew had complained that wearing short skirts had made them feel uncomfortable - especially when putting bags in overhead lockers or taking public transport to and from work.
But change will not happen until Cathay next refreshes its staff uniforms.
That could take three years, according to unions.
