    One year later and they are leaving bolts off airplane panels. Maybe the safety inspector was wearing a skirt and quite naturally didn't want to have to climb ladders that day. That's okay. The problem was fixed by moving the remaining bolts about so there was not such a big gap without bolts. Geniuses at Virgin Atlantic Airlines.

      How is getting offended at an _allowed flexibility in gender role presentation for employees, on the part of an airline,_ logical?
