Female Flight attendants have been unhappy with the constrictions of their pencil skirts and heeled shoes for a long time now. They are totally impractical in serious situations, which, unfortunately, are becoming more common. I'm glad for them that they can now wear trousers and I hope other airlines soon follow suit. Policewomen and other uniformed services still look smart in trousers. The days of the "trolley dolly" are long numbered.

I've flown Virgin Atlantic many times and it's always been a good experience.

Crew can wear what they look as long as they do their job - can't imagine many men will want to wear skirts, even if they are that way inclined.

Sir Richard Branson is dropping rules that require its employees to wear “gendered uniform options” in a first for the UK aviation industry.

I think as long as cabin crew are polite and helpful it doesn’t much matter. It’s a funny old world anyway. I do wonder whether large groups flying abroad on stag parties might become even more raucous though.

Actually we never fly Virgin so I’ll never know!

What do you think? A PR stunt or good business nous in a changing/challenging times?
