Dragonair to follow up on web image of alleged flight attendant striking sexy pose

A sexy photograph of a uniform-clad flight attendant, seated with her black stocking-clad legs raised high to the top of the cabin seat in front, has triggered heated debate online.

The flight attendant, reportedly from Dragonair, was wearing a red and black outfit similar to the carrier’s uniform in her pose, which one web user described as “coquettish”.

A Dragonair spokeswoman said today that it was looking into the case.

"Our uniform staff are always reminded that their appearance and behaviour whilst in uniform may influence the perception of the company by the public, as they are representing our corporate image," she said. "We shall follow up the said case in accordance to our internal policies and guidelines."

The side-view image of the stewardess was reportedly circulated among airline staff before being posted onto the internet.

Web users on social media and discussion forums were divided on the issue.
