I think people are missing the issue; this is not about adherence to a uniform dress code, it is about duplicity of standards by BA. A dress code should be exactly what it says; if it says that jewellry should not be worn, fine - that applies to everone. By the same token, a uniform should be a uniform, no less and no more - you don't put add-on's on to it. Unfortunatly - and I know this from traveling through, Gatwick & Stanstead - many of the check-in girls at these airports do choose to wear habibs - usually of black, but sometimes of differing colours. Charming as they are, they are breaking a uniform policy, unless BA is granting exemptions. If it is the former, then they should be disiplined and if it is the latter exemptions should be applicable to other faiths. And please don't tell me that a Cross & Chain is more of Health & safety hazard than a habib.
