A JET2 cabin crew member claims she was forced out of her job over her fashionable shaved haircut.
Marion McKay, from Edinburgh, was signed off work due to stress after bosses at the airline threatened to ban her from working on flights unless she changed her hairstyle, which is cropped at the sides and kept long on top.
The 52-year-old said she was left reeling at the demand, after having been assessed twice without complaint at the firm's Red Hot week, where employees are rated on their appearance.
Marion, who believes she was left with no choice but to resign, is claiming unfair dismissal and is seeking £22,000 in compensation from Jet2 due to emotional distress and loss of earnings.
The airline denies any wrongdoing.
Marion's lawyer Amanda Buchanan told an employment tribunal in Edinburgh: "She initially tried to comply because she loved her job but then didn't want to change herself and, after reflecting on it, she resigned."
When Marion was hired in June 2022, she had a gender-neutral haircut described as a "short cut and sides".
She was asked to cover her tattoos but said there was no mention of her hair not meeting standards.
