It seems that the superficial religious trend in Egypt achieved a victory. What was the point for EgyptAir stewardesses to request to be allowed to wear headscarves?
Are they trying to prove that they are complying with the Islamic beliefs? Yes as an answer simply means that they are wrong. Will they wear makeup? Definitely, yes. Wearing makeup is a harsh contradiction with the hijab.
The airline cabin crew is not a career for everyone, especially those with such Islamist mindset. Stay at home or find another job if you are really serious about Islamic teachings.
The reality of the situation is that female cabin crew of EgyptAir is just making a show. The true reason behind their headscarf is the laziness in taking care of the coarse non-fair hair. So, they are covering it instead.
From the commercial point of view, that step does not reflect positively on EgyptAir which is widely known for its mediocre in-flight service.
The policy of EgyptAir toward its stewardess is obviously a step on the opposite direction of Singapore Airlines which unified the perfume worn by air stewardesses as a part of the brand integrity.
