Skirts or trousers on the BA crew?
From the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/business/...trousers-union

"Redesigned BA uniforms in recent decades had extended the right to wear trousers to cabin crew of both sexes, but new female recruits are forced to wear skirts.

All new employees join the airline's mixed fleet – a category of crew established in 2010 on inferior salaries, terms and conditions to existing staff and which now numbers around 2,000 of the airline's 17,000 cabin crew. The mixed fleet won union recognition at the airline last year and now some crew members have asked it to raise the dress code."

To me this seems rather bizarre: if cabin crew wish to wear trousers I don't see why it is a problem. It isn't 1950.
