What’s with the gloves?
So it’s a lovely fall day in HEL - 16C
And the flight attendant is wearing leather gloves (just for takeoff). And putting them on and off (as she pushes buttons / switches / latches in the galley).
What’s drives this mandate - safety? Simper operating procedures between winter and summer?
Do they do this in furnace hot locations like DOH SIN or LAX?
And will this be a feature when Qantas wet-leases AY planes and crews?

If you ever pinched your fingers moving a latch (they have bloody sharp edges) and you have gloves at your disposal, you will start using them
