Female cabin crew furious over ‘cheap’ British Airways uniforms ‘designed for non-binary crew’

FEMALE crew are up in arms over a new British Airways uniform they claim was designed to cater for non-binary colleagues.

Some say the outfit for women — the first update in 20 years — is deliberately “androgynous”.

BA’s self-styled “Pride Hero” Bradley Gibbons, who is non-binary, posted a snap at work in the new dress — with skirt, trouser and jumpsuit options also available for females.

A source said: “This is an attack on women to satisfy BA’s woke credentials when all they needed to do was produce a dedicated uniform for non-binary and gender fluid crew.

“The whole thing is a mess.

“Women are not happy.”

It comes after the airline’s non-binary and gender fluid staff won the right to wear the women’s uniforms.

But they must wear trousers on routes to the Middle East and Africa to avoid offending culturally sensitive passengers.

Other staff have criticised the uniform’s quality, highlighting the “poor fabric” and “cheap, overall-style look”.

The new uniform for male staff is a three-piece suit.

BA was contacted for comment.
