and April 15 by pilots conducting the following operations:

Male Grooming Standards
Hair must present a clean, neat and businesslike appearance. Hair will be
trimmed so as not to extend below the top of the shirt collar or below the
middle of the ear. Extreme styles and colors are not acceptable.
Sideburns will not extend below the middle of the ear and will be of an
even width. Sideburns will end with a clean shaven line.
Mustaches will be trimmed to reveal the entire upper lip line. They may
not extend more than a Ό inch beyond the corner of the mouth.
Beards and goatees are not allowed.
Earrings, facial and tongue studs are not allowed
Female Grooming Standards
Hair will be worn in a business-like and fashionable manner. Hair will
be styled or secured so as not to interfere with pilot duties in and around
the aircraft, and so the hat may be worn squarely upon the head. Extreme
styles and colors are not acceptable.
If makeup is worn, it must be worn to create a business-like appearance.
Lipstick and cosmetics with grease must not be worn due to the fact that
pure oxygen and grease-based cosmetics can cause combustion.
Nope - don't see much there limiting any type of jewlery. that is where I would have expected it to be - limiting the type or number of pieces to be worn. I also don't see anything that restricts wearing something bringing discredit to the company or service (if that is your opinion).
If the CA considered her out of uniform - and presented such facts to whomever he called to complain - I suppose that he would be resting his argument on the highlight line above.
It will be interesting to see where this goes.
