But yeah, on topic, bloody stupid job to require hells for :shrug:. Impractical and pointless.

Freudian slip :fan:

I hope you're not accusing me of thievery Arista :o

Men aren't forced to wear high heels or make up so women shouldn't be either. It's quite simple really.

...some of the other airline examples given are not being allowed to wear a cardigan or cover their arms because it's apparently deemed 'frumpy'...and with shop assistants..female shop assistants being asked to unbutton their blouse and 'flirt a little' with male customers...

Did they publish a list of the shops with this policy? :whistle:

Oh, I'm mainly a Ryanair flier tbh, unlike LT I buy flights based on price and convenience rather than sexy flight attendants :fan:

If they do, it's optional. It's not an enforced dress code.

OK

My sister in law is a Purser for BA so I have messaged to ask what her contract for dress code is. I thought it was just that they had to be smart in appearance - I have seen flight attendants in flats before though once they are doing the drinks service etc.
