Sincerity needed to resolve MAS cabin crew issue

For 23 years, the country's national carrier shortchanged its stewardesses. It had designed a contract that not only ‘enslaved’ the female cabin crew to their job, it also demoralised those who embraced motherhood more than twice, and within seven years in service.

Indeed, working as a stewardess for MAS was akin to doing the catwalk. Should the 'model' stewardess lose that physical appeal the carrier found she once had, there was no use for such an employee. And God forbid, if the stewardess, post maternity was unable to fit into her uniform, that was the end of her flying career, literally.

Sadly, for 23 years, the female cabin crew suffered in silence, a big number of them not wanting to compromise their high flying job with MAS while another group perhaps were too naive or indifferent to note the gender discrimination that was taking place in their midst.
