to the influence of traditional Confucian culture and a sense that it is unmanly to do so. A majority of the airlines contended that there are no laws in Taiwan or other countries that prohibit employees from wearing skirts, nor any studies that indicate that only pants should be worn because skirts pose safety concerns during evacuations. The fact that skirts lead to a risk of exposure of certain body parts is not a problem seen only in the aviation industry. This problem is just as likely to occur in any other setting, such as on MRTs where the seats are designed in such a way that passengers face one another, which also increases the risk of exposure. The Civil Aviation Administration mandates evacuation training when a new aircraft model is introduced. In such cases, uniforms are worn throughout training, including for evacuation procedures, sliding down evacuation slides, and getting on lifeboats. In contrast, routine evacuation training involves performing the same action repeatedly. Although cabin crew can be trained in their uniforms, this type of training accelerates uniform wear and tear, leading to increased training costs. This is why cabin crew train in flats and pants during routine training. b) Shoes Several airlines consider a heel height of 2.5 cm or 3 cm to be appropriate for walking to and from the plane as it is similar to the heel of men’s leather shoes. Cabin crew can change into flat shoes after they board the plane. Airline A: Cabin crew can choose to wear shoes with either 3-cm or 6-cm heels when boarding or disembarking from the plane. A heel height of 3 cm is not very high. Some crew members may have plantar fasciitis that renders them unable to walk in high heels. As long as they inform the management department, they are allowed to work in flat shoes or work shoes issued by the company. Eva Airways: As of May 2023, the company allows female cabin crew to wear shoes with a 2.5-cm heel height, which is roughly the 37
