BA has a long way to come to reach its previous quality of service. This is not the way forward.
It sounds as if you think airline crew should just turn up to work in jeans and a t-shirt; after all, buying staff uniforms is clearly a drain on the bottom line...
Which, of course, it is - but every airline thinks it's a worthwhile expense. BA's last uniform refresh was almost twenty years ago so a redesign every two decades doesn't seem that extravagant, either.
And "Woke-ness"? What on earth do you mean?
