So what? Who cares?

.... why so?

Looks to me just like the same sort of uniforms that they always had, when I was at SV....very similar anyway.

[mutt]

why so

Why not?

It must really be a slow news day

Exactly why not and why not for the rest of the crew on regular flights as well as all women in the country, why the hypocricy is what I want to know.

[6000PIC]

I`d say something but apparently some of the people on the payroll to help defend these clowns are here on Pprune. What a shame.

[_FL600_]

and why should you care?!!!

[metro301]

That is the regular uniform, minus the hat and hair cover.

[newscaster]

I care because I dont want foreign women to be forced to dress up like goofs, like that British teacher in one of the parts of the video who had to wear abaya, head scarf, veil and gloves to go teach English at a university most probably to girl students only, and she's not even young or beautiful, talk about ridiculous on otehr hand you have bare headed/unrobed/gloved/veiled bleach blonde belly dancer look alike serving the high and mighty who ordain these laws.

who had to wear abaya, head scarf, veil and gloves to go teach English at a university

Did you consider the fact that she might be wearing that attire to satisfy her own personal religious beliefs?

Mutt

[_FL600_]

Ain't our business.

Still, who cares?!!!!!

Guess you haven't flown a single VIP flight in any part of the world.

[6000PIC]

Yeah she MIGHT be wearing that attire to satisfy her own personal religious beliefs but MOST LIKELY she wears it while she longs for the day her grandchildren ( or great grandchildren at this rate ) MIGHT have the freedom of the kind 99 % of the rest of the women in the world enjoy. Mutt , you`ve been in the desert too long mate.

"Saudi Arabian VIP cabin crew without headscarf?"

I am sorry to say, this is nothing short of decadence, if true.

I really don't know what the KSA is coming to. Women will be behind the wheel in cars next. God help us!!

That was a private VIP flight, Entourage only.

Suprised no one mentioned the smoking on the flight. Not allowed on regular Saudia flights.

Read it again, and look at video series, I said British woman blonde and blue eyed from UK, a non-muslim, Farangi going to teach women students, then you have the blonde F/A in an all male enviroment, what amazing hypocricy.

and why cant atleast foreigners be allowed to wear knee length jackets in be they in black or soothing colours like beige, light grey with coloured/printed or plain pastel cloured scarfs like they do in Iran and elsewhere.

"If we are going to ban the veil in public places, it immediately begs the question: why should a nun be allowed to wear her habit and not a female Muslim," he told newspaper La Stampa, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Enough Headache

Chill out!

Different places, different cultures, different ways of living. Respect that and you'll have a peace of mind.

I wonder when the west will stop forcing people to wear clothes when they are in public places.

It was legal for women to walk around in public topless in Toronto. At least it was in the early 2000's. Haven't been back since during the summer.
