According to sources Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific has decided to end its skirts-only rule for female staff members after intense union pressure. As per report from the media the airline has agreed flight attendants can choose to wear trousers after 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.



Sources have reported that the change will not take place until Cathay refreshes its staff uniforms which could take three years, according to unions. Meanwhile the skirts-only rule has been in place since the airline was founded in 1946. Further the flight attendants had requested a redesign of their work wear in 2014 saying the skirts were too revealing and may provoke sexual harassment.

Previously in 2014, Cathay Pacific flight attendants requested a redesign of their uniforms because they said they were too revealing and may provoke sexual harassment.
