Well I guess this is as good a place as any, If you are a Onesky Pilot and you do not like your grey shirt and pinstriped pants with tan belt and shoes you should go to,
[email protected] and voice your opinion, I understand time is critical, and if you like that uniform send that.

The only good parts of the new uniforms are the Epaulettes and the black flexjet polo. The rest of the uniform is garbage

1. Pants. Poor quality, thin, uncomfortable and ugly
2. Grey shirts, poor quality pockets too low, one size fit all box cut and the collar shows stains and the shirt shows sweat and rain
3. Tie. The thing stains easily and falls apart when you clean it
4. Belt. Very ugly and does not match. We should have a black belt
5. Pleather bomber jacket. Poor quality, no insulation or water repellancy and ugly. The elbows tear out
6. Black metropolitan rain coat. Ugly, does not breathe and you sweat in it.
7. Sweater . Poor quality thin nylon that pills and falls apart.

Overall a complete fail of a uniform

To make things worse, The vendor Affinity Apparrel has the worst customer service
 
Oh but the company has an open door policy on communication with management and we are free to voice our opinions on the uniform.

You either wear the degrading uncomfortable and impractical uniform or you go out the open door to look for a new job.
 
I was on the infamous "Uniform Committee" back a few years ago. We surveyed, answered questions, etc., but then Uncle Kenn heard about us and said, "What Uniform Committee? I'm the the Uniform Committee." That was the end our task.
 
Resilience Capital (Kenn's non aviation brand) is a major investor in Affinity Apparel. I heard Kenn's wife or daughter were paid either through them or DAC as the designer.

Someone once pointed out Kenn essentially runs all of his business like a legal Ponzi scheme. When you look into it that is the perfect description.

The nazi uniform might go but Affinity isn't.
 
One good thing, I guess, is you don't have to iron these gray shirts like you did the white ones. They look like you took them outta of a duffel bag either way!
 
These are the worst looking pilot uniforms ever conceived. Poorly made, terrible materials. They are not holding up well. I don't even iron it and wear the same uniform 5,6,7 days hoping it's looks bad enough that an owner might complain. It's hideous. I feel like that Seinfeld episode with the puffy shirt. "But I don't wanna be a pirate "
 
Interesting. On the weekly announcement it was claimed that Flexoptions received the Immage of the year award for the best uniforms by a panel of independant judges.

Obviously they didnt ask any of the users who are subjected to wearing those uniforms what they thought of them.
 
What are they blind? The tails on the shirts are too short and the rise on the pants in the back is too low, so guess what happens when it is time to load bags.
 
Let's start a award for ugliest pilot uniform ever. Then publish the results. I vote onesky has all time ugliest. Anyone else wanna cast a vote?
 
While airlining to my last rotation, a passenger asked me what airline I was a flight attendant for...this uniform has got to go.
 
The award winning neo-Nazi uniform actually came in second place to Sonic, the burger flippers, just edging out Home Depot and the orange aprons.
 
Ah yes the new Flexjet uniform compliments the equipment and shows the respect Flexjet Management has for its crews. The yellow tie that so easily stains and falls apart mirrors the stained and worn falling apart carpet in the airplanes. The pealing finish on the leatherlike belt accentuates the pealing paint of the airplanes and the "genuine milspec" simulated A2 bomber jacket speaks volumes of what the Flexjet management thinks of their crews to provide them with a thin uninsulated jacket for winter use. Only the best. The crews look so professional in their grey mechanics shirts soaked in sweat stains or rain during the summer and shivering in the winter without a proper winter coat.
 
"genuine milspec"? He wants milspec when (from Wikipedia) In the U.S. during the 1980s and early 1990s, it was argued that the large number of standards, nearly 30,000 by 1990, imposed unnecessary restrictions, increased cost to contractors (and hence the DOD, since the costs in the end pass along to the customer), and impeded the incorporation of the latest technology. Responding to increasing criticism, Secretary of Defense William Perry issued a memorandum in 1994 that prohibited the use of most defense standards without a waiver.[SUP][3][/SUP] This has become known as the "Perry memo". Many defense standards were canceled. In their place, the DOD encouraged the use of industry standards, such as ISO 9000 series for quality assurance (see COTS), SAE standards such as the AS and AMS series (e.g., AS9100, AMS 2404). Are we moving backward?
