To be honest, on BA, or any other airline I've flown, I've never seen a single man with hair long enough to be put into a bun.

As mentioned above, I've seen the odd Sikh? ground agent with hair in that form, but that's it.

I'm growing my hair right now just so I can put it in a Jack Grealish style bun and work for BA

I think we've all seen how BA's recruitment policy has turned out with highly inefficient crews and so on.

Sometimes employing anyone who might be able to do something or fits a specific profile isnt always the best thing.

Sure there will be a few ex-military here who have seen standards in the Army etc. plummet what with their far more relaxed filling of roles.
roles.

At the end of the day, BA needs to be looking at who they have and improving them rather than giving a very small minority the option of this. It won't make a blind bit of difference for me, but as I said earlier, it will be the start of relaxing this and that.
Was it BA who had the issue with someone wearing a Crucifix? Whilst it made no apparent difference as any would be hidden under a shirt / blouse, its something where "why should one subset do something, yet i can't?".

Same with women wearing having to wear a skirt when men men wear trousers. Protesting, and now they have the option.
