China Southern Airlines flight attendant fired over bra selfie in plane toilet appeals to high court
- A flight attendant was fired for posting a picture of herself in only a bra in a plane toilet on social media while she was at work
- She has now appealed to the Guangdong High People’s Court to review the case, which the court has agreed to
The woman, surnamed Guo, took a lingerie selfie in the toilet while the flight was delayed on the tarmac on October 12, 2019, Hubei-based news site Jiupai News reported.
The plane was delayed due to flight control issues and there were no passengers on board at the time.
Guo shared the picture on WeChat, with the caption: “I feel like wearing nothing. It’s super comfortable. After having worn this brand of bra for a long time, my breast size has increased.”
However, 10 minutes later Guo deleted the post and picture, that were intended to help a friend promote a lingerie brand.
China Southern Airlines fired her one month later for violating the company’s rules by posting an “inelegant picture” on social media during work hours and this had had a negative impact on the company.
In February this year, the Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court delivered a final verdict in the case that the firing is legal.
