Best and worst airline uniforms

[House_X]

I don't know why everyone likes Delta. The double-breasted suit looks real good, along side the AMC Pacer with the 8 track stereo and the bell-bottom pants. I think it's about time airlines bring uniforms into the 21st century. At least JB is aiming in the right direction in terms of uniforms.

The only thing I hate more than stupid threads is people with thick skin...I give up.

Fair enough.... beer's on me if we ever meet.

Hey the UPS and jetblue guys have it right. You can't beat free! If the boss wants me to wear lavender and he's going to pay for it. Who am I to argue.

Ok, I must admit I like hats, I don't like to wear it, but I think it finishes the uniform and makes it look professional. That and it keeps the folks from asking me for more Diet Coke thinking I'm one of our many male F/A‘s. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Nah, I hate the hats. The only people who wear hats anymore are bellhops and street side baggage folks. I'd give another 2-3% on our concessions if they would just get rid of the hats

"Newsflash: The best uniform is the one issued by a company that is not going into bankruptcy."

"ups uniforms are the worst"--this just makes me laugh. hey you know-the uniform may not make you happy it being an eyesore but my check is always ontime--after our new contract-the uniform will be the last thing i think about.

fbt (trying to wear my brown clown suit as little as possible)

How about anything that is not constructed of polyester.

You guys must go to bed early. The worst uniforms are Airborne Express (unless they have changed). They have (had) gray pants, yuck! and they probably have to pay for them. I really don't like ours they look to much like AA's. I wish we would have come up with something of our own! I don't wear the "hat" but I do think the United hat logo and Alaska hat logo look sharpe. I even think that new United paint job is sharp.

Best uniform?

Shorts and T-shirt with a baseball cap....Sandals, no shoes or socks.

Aye, only saw one group of pilots wear that unifom:

X-Navy P-3 dudes flying civilian contract on uh, Navy P-3s doing sonar buoy testing of the coast of St. Croix in the 80s.
Them guys flew a few hours a day in their shorts and T-shirts and ya could not wipe the smile of their faces when they walked down the stairs after parking the Orion and went over to the nearest tiki-bar with the coldest beer....

My first NoPac crossing in DC-10 IOE, I got on the plane and everybody changed clothes for the ~8 hour trip (this was freight, of course).

The professional Engineer, a tan blonde female from California (you GAC guys know whom I'm talking about), put on a T-shirt that said, "I can't even THINK straight."

Actually AA's aren't too bad looking, nice wings and the silver/blue looks decent. However, the hat emblem has GOT to go.... and those hats they were look like they were squashed by a Mack truck!

A friend of mine flew for the Tuna fleet in the Pacific in a Hughes his standard uniform was Speedo's,sandals, and RayBans(ala Cool Hand Luke Style). I get ill to my stomache every time I think of a 220-250 lbs grey haired old knock about wearing that, I don't think I've eaten Tuna since then either.

D a m n!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[IAHERJ]

Worst leather jackets AAI

I have to second that one. I wish we would either get rid of them or have that as our only option and change the actual jacket. I won't wear the thing thus forcing myself to wear the blazer with an overcoat in the winter and having to pack a sweater/jacket or something for the overnight outings.

I'll just throw this out there...

Favorite F/A outfit: KLM...Lufthansa a close second and SIA in there someplace. Virgin Atlantic's aren't bad either.

That's just my opinion...I could be wrong.

The irony I see here is that at the same time we pilots are asking to be treated and compensated like the professionals we believe we are, we also want to dress like its casual Friday. Like it or not, when you walk through the airport people judge you in part by the way you look.
