A Question of Uniform or Religion?

A British Airways employee lost her appeal to wear her cross necklace.

I must admit, this is pretty stupid. She's not lambasting anyone with her faith. She's wearing jewelry. It will be interesting to see how this is played out, for example, if it becomes a uniform thing or a faith thing.

At the hotel I used to work at, I couldn't (as a male) wear an earring. So, if I had worn a cross earring or a smiley face earring - it wouldn't have mattered - it was a question of proper uniform. But my ears aren't pierced, so it doesn't matter.

So, could she wear a headscarf with a cross on it? If so, I can hear the marketing geniuses at Lifeway scrambling...
