Mods, can the thread title be edited to something that is correct? I'd suggest "Air France advises female flight attendants to wear head scarves while on ground in Iran".
Thank you

If the fashion designers can make pilots wear hats as part of the uniform, why not incorporate head scarves as part of the uniform design? We just need uniform police to enforce it once the plane landed at these Muslim countries.

Sea Eggs, this isn't about on-board attire.
In France it is illegal to cover your face with a Burka;
In Iran it is illegal not to cover your hair.
I disagree with both laws, but ...

Airlines do try to by customer oriented. They do and they did always order their flight attendants to wear something the customer likes. Stewardesses probably never volunteered to wear skirts so short, that sitting customers can have a very appealing sight. Airplanes have never been the best area if you look for female rights... It´s just another step in treating employees. Not good, but not new either.

If it was ladies from some other western country I would agree covering hair is an issue. But Parisian women love to cover their head with scarfs.

BTW, there is talk on internet this is about US CBP's new guidelines on Visa Waiver Program restrictions on visitors to certain countries.
Now that ladies can opt out, gentlemen of AF have to find some reason. May be they can start an industrial action for not allowing them to tear off station manager's shirt.

Storm in a tea pot , Tehran policy for trousers ( no skirt) and head scarf for CC is as old as the Iranian revolution and was followed without problems until 7 years ago when AF stopped flying to Tehran. Now they will restart OPS there and AF management just reminded both cabin and Flight crew of old regulations. A CC union picked it up and wanting to make the Buzz raised an issue..
Media picked it up, politicians in presidential campaign took it on board , etc..
This morning AF announced that Crewing to THR will be on voluntary basis only but following the local rules, that CC Union seem to be happy. End of story.
An for those who have been in THR in the last 5 years you can see that covering your hair is in fact today only covering 1/2 of it on the back , every year the women gain 1 cm as the local joke goes.
