Blue jets new uniforms

[Baronman]

The roll out of the new uniform is the biggest joke of the whole thing. Just like the last PEA. Here is the deadline. Okay, things aren't going well. Here is the new deadline. Some people still haven't received their new uniforms. When they do, some will still need to tailor them. The incompetence with which we execute amazes me sometimes.

Also, can anybody post a link for external view of the "uniform video" with our illustrious captain skipping down the hall hand-in-hand with the FAs, agents, etc.? It is the train wreck from which you cannot look away. The last few seconds are priceless.

WTF? I've worked numerous days since the rollout and haven't notice anybody in the old uniform. Even if there were a handfull I wouldn't call that a joke or unsuccessful. They gave a 2 week timeframe for pilots transition, that sounds pretty reasonable to me.

And the video, who f'ing cares? Seriously is there anything some guys won't complain about? I think if the narrative one is looking for is always negative, any new change, initiative etc is just more fodder to complain about.

Oh, the drama.

Got my shirts tailored, $35/shirt. They fit great now. The lady had to remove 10" of fabric from the back of my 17.5" neck tall tapered. I think I'll get the jacket done too. Other than that it's much improved from the old slop.

 

[CaptainSpaz]

IMO it's an improvement all in all. However, there are a couple glaring quality issues - We are a week in and I've seen shirts lose buttons and the dotted ties are fraying.

Should have gone with white shirts that way anyone can order/buy the kind they like and feel comfortable with. Pants and jacket look good, blue tie works but should have kept old stripes. The new ones are awful, too skinny, don't fit and outline the blue with dark gray-almost Brown...could have outlined it with silver to make blue pop.

The slacks aren't standard grey pants as was mentioned earlier. They have a thin blue "window pane" watermark that makes it impossible to order matching pants from anywhere but the official vendor.

I wonder which Board Member owns a piece of HPI?

I've been wondering about this since the previous shirts.
They cover their tracks well.

Yeah the uniforms do suck! Should always take pilots input first! Meanwhile kill time in the air and play Enemy Dawn app. Trailer video http://bit.ly/1pVJCj1

Troll alert!!!!

The lighter shirt material is a double edged sword. Cooler in the heat but it won't hold shape out of the dry cleaners plastic. I flew with a guy who had not received the correct pants yet so he went with the old uni. He got more smack talk from other pilots than anyone else. It's a shame. The rollout was a mess and he took the grief. This group has a way to go before we make any real headway with attitudes like that.

I'm still not seeing how the rollout was a mess? I've yet to see anyone in the old one. A mess would be 1/2 the work groups standing around looking for new gear. Perfect, no...A mess, no.

If ya buddy can't take a bit of friendly ribbing from his co-workers, maybe you and he should go back to the kids table. I don't like the quality of our new shirts but its just a shirt and does not warrant this much attention from anybody.:crying::crying::crying:

Just saw the new wings. The JetBlue is crooked and a big trademark symbol. Really? They look like they came out of a crackerjack box.

 

[BUDDHA145]

The 2 collar tie buttons was a great idea!! [emoji19]

 

[linepilot]

New wings look like they came from a candy machine.

Buttons on the crumpled up shirt popping off all over the place.

Pants are like burlap.

Belt is an otherworldly material.

No part of the uniform is quality.

All indicative of the kind of airline jetblew has grown into.

Not drama. Just another example amongst many.

 

[linepilot]

What, what!?

I just discovered that all of my t-shirts peek out beyond my ridiculous shirt sleeves.

I'm f#cking delighted!

I look like a f#cking dork!

F#cking awesome!

Wear wife beaters.

The look is odd, kinda like Virgin.
A standard white shirt with blue epaulets/tie and navy jacket & pants would be the way to go IMHO.
When you end up with a one off product only available from a certain vendor you can bet someone is getting a kickback.

I don't think they wanted to go quite so boring, yet not quite "out there" as the Virgin suits. Light blue shirts ( not purple) and charcoal/grey is still pretty widespread. If you walked down Wall Street you'd see plenty of light blue (albeit $$$) shirts.

Someone traced the money train back to a guy who's on another BOD with one of our BOD that also sits on the BOD of khols? Not really a surprise, some one knew a guy who knew a guy that could get things done...

Quality of The ties suck. I already tossed the first one it frayed out, the second one isn't gonna last either. I've only worn it 3 days.
