Some studies have recommended wearing cotton clothing instead of stockings or high heels. These recommendations apply to passengers as well. Of course, in fires or other high-temperature situations, certain materials pose risks regardless of who is wearing them. However, no studies or empirical cases specifically targeting professionals have been documented to date. For example, during the JAL Flight 516 emergency evacuation incident that occurred in early 2024, the key to everyone’s safe escape was the crew’s effective execution of its training, not whether the crew was wearing skirts or trousers. Furthermore, during a recent turbulence incident involving Singapore Airlines, the crew did not experience serious casualties due to wearing fitted sarong uniforms. Therefore, the rest of the world may not agree with the assertion that the current uniforms of Taiwanese airlines would increase casualties. Thus, the Civil Aviation Administration will continue to monitor global trends. V. Investigation and Analysis 1.
