The new Thai airline P.C. Air isn't just committed to getting you to where you need to be safely and on time. It also wants to make sure the flight attendants walking down the aisle represent the country's trans community. The airline set a quota to ensure it would have trans staffers among its 30 new hires, and the company says it met its goal: three trans women are now part of the crew, alongside 17 cis-women and 10 men. That's a 10 percent trans staff!
