BA has a long way to come to reach its previous quality of service. This is not the way forward.
Really? Uniforms were always an important part of the visibility of airlines and their corporate identity. If it is just "fly customers", even Ryanair is not on the mark.
Even millennials recognise a Pan Am uniform and Virgin's high-visibility outfits are the talk of the hotel lobby guests. Google PSA. Who would have thought that the 70s were so woke? Or maybe, 'woke' is not a thing?
