Requiring flight attendants to wear makeup forced them to do two jobs at once – actually look after passengers and play at being stereotypical air-hostesses

You always knew that Virgin Atlantic must have required its female flight attendants to wear makeup. They always looked so polished that any other explanation just wouldn’t have made sense. But it never really registered until this week, when the airline ditched the rule.

Finally I can stop wearing deodorant and aftershave without being judged. Thank you Virgin Atlantic. :D

Aged 16 I was told to wear make up and I would 'definitely' get a pay rise as men 'like that sort of thing'. I was selling mens shoes in Lilley and Skinners, Brent Cross Shopping Centre (circa 1992)! I didn't wear make up and was still their top sales person 🙂

And can they also stop naming their planes after woman.

Interestingly the new policy seems very unpopular with their female employees. Btw other shades are still not allowed it’s red or none zoesqwilliams

“Where once cabin crew were reprimanded if their lipstick didn’t match their siren-red jacket, now they can go for neutral shades or – if they are really daring – wear no lipstick at all, like some kind of social worker”. Really? Like some kind of social worker zoesqwilliams

Shame about its level of pollution however. Comes way way down in the list of airlines. Surprising since beardy the billionaire was waxing lyrical about solving global warming.
