Franchising Standards

Hello all,

I have just arrived back from Malta onboard a GB Airways flight operated in full BA colours and by crew in the uniforms as normal. But being BA crew myself I was not prepared for what met me at the steps of the plane as I boarded...Although a very nice chap by all means, the young lad had a smacking large silver tongue ring in his mouth!!!!!!
Now this isnt a bash at GB at all because iv two very good friends who fly for them and I fly them all the time (the airline not my friends that is) but I have just spoken to one of my friends on the phone and he just laughed!!!
Now to a passenger getting on this flight, what they see is British Airways and not GB, So when they board they get met by a mouth of metal representing the company they think they are flying with...surely this is by no means acceptable by any airlines standards. I know if I reported to work with my eye ring in id be frog marched down to my managers office before I had time to fart.
Your comments please...
PS.....Sorry if this sounds like a GB bash, I assure you its not, even this guy was a nice chap but I do think the tongue thing which was unmissable was out of order.
