Just One More Thing The Airlines Have All Wrong

Okay, I just have to ask. What is up with flight attendant attire?

Do the airlines want these people to be dressed to actually help me in a crisis? Because see, personally, I feel like their uniforms adhere poorly to the "form follows function" rule or even any variation thereof which is strictly specific to clothing.

I just don't believe it makes much sense for female flight attendants to wear high heels. I mean, I know the airlines are running a business here, and so they want all the employees -- flight attendants included -- to be dressed very professionally. But you know, there's something about the uniforms that doesn't really add up. High heels just seem like they would be the most incapable article of clothing for any serious flight-related emergency. Wouldn't you agree?

Then again, I suppose one does have to admit that, were there an actual, serious emergency while a plane were in the air, it really wouldn't matter what the hell anyone was wearing.
