Her stance is typical backlash from the Daily Mail reading middle English who think that PC-madness gives everybody else but them an advantage.

I'd turn up at jobs where the poor member of the public had been waiting for hours because we just didn't have anything like enough patrols. If the punter was from an ethnic monority it would be, "You've kept me waiting because you are racist". If they were white it would be, "I bet if I was Asian you'd have been here in five minutes".

Quite simply she has seen Islamic colleagues wearing headscarfs and no doubt over a coffee at break time has come up with the idea, "Yeah, but I bet they wouldn't let a white christian wear a cross" and decided to test it. The simple fact is, the BA customer service uniform incorporates a cravat, with which the wearing of any kind of necklace outside the uniform is totally impractical. I am sure the decision has nothing more to it than that. But no, let's turn it into a campaign.

Political Correctness has at times gone too far (banning of christmas trees etc) and what we see here are the first signs of people getting fed up of it - justified or not.
