I can only speak for myself, but when I see the Singapore FAs walk through the airport, they look much more professional and interesting than the Cathay FAs.

I even prefer the Thai, Emirates and Malaysian uniforms - at least they have some character that expresses something about their airline/home. The Cathay ladies uniform is just a bit dull - it could be mistaken for a Qantas or BA uniform.

I would like to see Cathay show a bit of Chinese culture in the uniforms. If Cathay is meant to be Hong Kong's world airline, why don't the uniforms feel abit more like Hong Kong or Asia? (and I mean the good bits)

Here is a great little YouTube video with nothing to do with the uniforms, but has some great pics of the planes throughout the years.... The Video
