Well, how about we lament that you're not wearing a three-piece suit with a necktie and a shirt buttoned to the Adam's apple every day any more? Like my grandfather, who didn't even deal with people, and didn't really need to impress anyone, but had to dress like that anyway.
Some jobs still require it, but they're the same jobs where a woman's more likely to still wear a skirted suit.

That's literally my point, that some job that requires it for me allows her the ability to "more likely" wear the skirt but still have the option to wear the suit, or a pants suit, or etc.
Also back in your granddaddy's age, women wearing pants was culturally frowned upon and controversial. Her options were limited as well, which is where the airline likely kept the tradition from because lack of competition means no need for progress.
Yeah, I know, my granny wore a dress to her job as a book-keeper at an old-school-style department store (think Grace Bros from Are you Being Served?).
Ladies in Black, the department store is meant to be either Mark Foy's, Horden's (both defunct) or David Jones, depending on who you ask.
We also have Myer, which is the Melbourne equivalent (because everything Sydney has, Melbourne has to have its own version).
Anyway, it's a decent movie, if you like that sort of... Period fluff.
Personally, while there are some things I find... Uncomfortable, from that time period, women actually dressing in women's clothes is certainly not one of them.
While we're on this topic, there's also "The Dressmaker", but I didn't like that one anywhere near as much. It's... Brutal. Same sort of general "theme", however.

Australian movie about the exact equivalent of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladies_in_Black_(film)
