The reporter noticed that the first news was the cabin service department of Hunan Airlines, which mentioned that "flat" and stable flight, practical work, Hunan Airlines fully implemented the flight attendants to wear flat shoes to carry out flights. From August 1, 2024, Hunan Airlines will officially cancel flights with high heels, and flight attendants can wear flat shoes throughout the flight.
On August 5, the reporter learned from Hunan Airlines that the news is true, and at present, the measure has been implemented.
Airline officials told reporters that in the past, flight attendants had to bring two pairs of shoes, one pair of high heels and one pair of flat shoes. In addition to wearing flat shoes when working on the plane, high heels are required at other times such as getting on and off passenger elevators, crossing bridges, and getting on the plane. This new policy is good for everyone, and it is also a burden reduction, and employee comments are still very positive. ”
Li Yan, a girl born in the 90s, is a flight attendant of Hunan Airlines. She has been working in high heels for 12 years, from 2012 to now.
She told reporters that in the past, she had to wear high heels whenever she came out of the house until she got on the plane and began to prepare for work. "After the flight lands, when the last passenger gets off the plane, we have to change into high heels." Because you have to walk the terminal, wearing high heels is a professional image requirement. ”
On August 3, it was Li Yan's turn to check in, and she flew two flights that day: Changsha to Baoshan and Baoshan to Changsha. For the first time in 12 years, she wore flats all the time.
"In the past, it was very inconvenient to go up and down the ladder truck, corridor bridge or encounter some rain and snow, and the heel of the high heels would slip, which would also affect my own safety. Sometimes when you encounter a remote position, it will be more tiring to walk in high heels. Li Yan said that everyone was very happy after learning the news, and some colleagues excitedly posted a WeChat circle of friends.
There are also flight attendants who deliberately posted the high heels they wore at work, and the soles were full of toe prints printed after working for a long time.
According to the cabin service department of Hunan Airlines, since June this year, the company has officially promoted the transformation of service strategy, with the goal of providing "pragmatic services" for passengers. The first step is to solve the problem that flight attendants are widely concerned about - whether they can free their feet and make the cabin safer and more grounded.
This initiative was launched by Hunan Airlines
aroused heated discussions among netizens↓↓
It can also be seen from this regulation that the leadership and management of airlines are still level. High heels and stockings are at risk in terms of safety, purely for the sake of perception. ”
"As a doctor, I support the complete elimination of high heels, which are very anti-ergonomic and very harmful to women's feet and ankles."
"It's not high, but it's really hard to wear it all day......
"It's not just a matter of a pair of shoes, it's a people-oriented company system."
"Taking off your heels is the most comfortable moment."
