A new Thailand airline is hiring transsexual ladyboys as flight attendants, aiming at a unique identity to set itself apart from competitors as it sets out for the skies.
Transgender and Transsexuals which known as ‘katoeys” or “ladyboys” have greater vivibility in Thailand than any other nations. They were holding mainstream jobs in variety fields. They are quite common to work in cosmetics shops or health stores.
PC Air, a charter airline set to start operations on Asian routes in April, change their mind to hires transvestites and transsexuals after they received more than 100 job applications. Before that, they planned to hire male and female flight attendants only.
The qualifications for the ladyboy flight attendants were set as the same with female flight attendants with the additional provisos that they be like women in how they walk and talk and have a feminine voice and the right attitude.
PC Air president Peter Chan said that he need to spent more time to interview them to make sure they have feminine characters. Though excited by the opportunity, the transexxual flight attendants said they were aware they needed to prove themselves. It’s time for them to prove themselves.
Actually, I think that, people will always keep an eye on them where ever they go because they are special. They are male in identification card but they act like a woman. Some of them even more feminine than a real woman. This is the special place of ladyboy. It is a good thing that they getting more aware by people. They could get job and won’t be ignore by people. They were just human like us, so why should we avoid them. All human being is equality, no matter what gender she or he is.
