As if Japan Airlines hasn’t had enough trouble already this year, with bankruptcy and about fifty different- though no definitive- plans for its salvation, the airline now has the strangest of dilemmas on their hands. Apparently a hot commodity, their crewmembers uniforms are finding their way onto the black market and appearing on the bodies of a whole different type of service industry- at strip clubs in Japan! Uniforms can sell for thousands of dollars and the airline is doing all they can to contain this virile interest in their attire. Of course, only crewmembers are supposed to have access to the uniforms. It is unclear how they are being sold or where the problem originated from. Perhaps not the ideal venue, Japan Airlines should nonetheless keep in mind that imitation is the highest form of flattery.
