Asiana to end skirts-only policy

Congratulations to the ladies at Asiana Airlines!

Starting from early next month, Asiana's 3000-odd female flight attendants will be allowed to wear trousers for the first time since the company came into existence 25 years ago, an airline statement said.
The decision came after the national rights watchdog, responding to an appeal lodged by the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, ruled the existing dress code was "gender discriminatory".

I haven't heard about Korean Air's response or policy. It is the number one airline in Korea, so it doesn't have to worry, for now.

But it would seem to be a great opportunity for Jeju Air, the number three airline, to immediately announce a "miniskirts-only" policy for 50% of new hires. Of course, people would be outraged, President Park would denounce it, women's groups would start burning their bras, and "experts" and philosophers would discuss the ethics of it.

And Jeju Air would have to buy a lot of new airplanes.

If I were CEO of Jeju Air, I would applaud Asiana's flight attendants not being required to wear skirts.

2019-12-19 Interview with Japanese reporter

Michael Vick ain't got nuthin on me!!!

After football player Michael Vick admitted that he had been running a dog-fighting business I wrote that he was an idiot. If he was going to engage in such activity he should have gone to Indonesia or somewhere else. He certainly had the money to do so at that time. If he knew then what he knows now then he would have spent $10 million to run his dogfighting ring in Manila. Today I did something that probably not even Michael Vick ever did: I ate dog meat. I never expected that I would do so. It is a bit scandalous because Koreans don't just kill the dogs and eat them. Rather, they will beat them to death while they are still alive. That allegedly is to get the adrenaline flowing which allegedly makes the meat more tender which allegedly improves a man's stamina. I had told a friend that I wanted to give it a try. But as we sat down to eat I said: "I want to try this but don't give me any details until after we are finished eating." It just looked like regular me...
