Asiana Airlines is notorious for scrupulousness when it comes to the grooming of their flight attendants. Everything is taken into consideration, even the number of hair-pins used in the signature bun adorning all the female attendants. Just recently however, South Korea’s Human Rights commission has urged the airline to review its strict dress code.

Asiana argues for “skirts only” on their female employees because they believe that it enforces a certain aesthetic that their customers are looking for. The airline says they will take the commission’s suggestion under review, but no word on when exactly the uniform standards will be revised. Even so, as of last month, they did do away with an antiquated ban on wearing glasses.
