Virgin Atlantic The Next Evolution
Back in the 1950s, the image of the stewardess was one of an attractive young woman who was either single, widowed, or divorced. Then in the 60s and 70s, there was a push to replace “stewardess” with “flight attendant” because the feminist movement wanted to remove gender from job titles, and more men were entering the field. If you find yourself on VA as part of your holiday you may notice flight attendants displaying their visible tattoos or rocking a uniform that best suits their gender identity thanks to a new policy change.
Additionally, uniforms can include pronoun markers to help passengers properly address employees, and passenger passports will now include gender-neutral markers for non-binary passengers. According to Jaime Forsstroem, Cabin Crew at Virgin Atlantic, the policy change makes a huge impact on them. “The updated gender identity policy is so important to me,” they said in a video about the policy roll-out now playing on this page. “As a non-binary person, it allows me to be myself at work and have the choice in what uniform I wear.”
