She also said she wears a cross on a chain around her neck, and to comply with airline rules, she has to wear it under her uniform so that it can't be seen. Her thought was that the flag pin would have been a uniform violation.I found it interesting to hear the insider's perspective.
These two paragraphs say so much. Because she's an insider this woman knows someone else's reasons? If she is so concerned about it, why doesn't she ask the question, "why do you wear the pin?"
Should one presume from her comments that if she were allowed to wear her cross outside her uniform, that she would be wearing it for the purpose converting people?
Again, I don't have any comment on whether wearing the pins is appropriate. That's the job of the employer.
