Virgin Atlantic says female flight attendants can drop makeup, choose pants over skirts.

The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.DALLAS — Britain's Virgin Atlantic has dropped a requirement that female flight attendants wear makeup, joining other major carriers that have eased their dress and grooming requirements after complaints about turning female employees into sex objects.
An airline executive said the changes — which also include making it easier for women to pick pants over Virgin's familiar red skirts — came after listening to employees. Uniforms are standard for cabin crew on most airlines, but U.S. carriers have come a long way since Southwest famously dressed its flight attendants in hot pants during the 1970s.
American Airlines tells its flight attendants that if they wear makeup,"it should be tasteful and complimentary to your professional image."There have been employee complaints against U.S. carriers over hairstyles, with some employees believing they were victims of racial discrimination. Makeup, however, ceased being a major concern years ago.
