Virgin America new modern pilot uniforms

[Fins Up]

From a guy wearing a blue shirt, that looks freakin' ridiculous. I just can't decide which is worse - that pilot 'uniform' or the ones Skybus wore.

I still think Skybus takes the cake with their Ranger McDufus outfit but this is a close second. Looks like they're trying to bring back Disco.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! And I thought that black outfit was bad. That is even worse!

Are you a pilot or a FA? The passenger is not going to be able to tell.

Why is a company that loses millions every quarter spending money on new "outfits"?

Next they will have you all wearing dresses and heels...

Looks like an outfit you can pick up from Express. Especially the jacket.

No ties - that's a plus.

who pays for the new uniforms? employees or company?

The initial uniform and luggage/tote bag are fully paid by the company. The new uniform is fully paid by the company.

I think I'd be pissed at Company if I were a VA crewmember! I'd tell Mgmt to " knock it off on the hipster stuff until we can post a profit! This is my career.....not some glittery San Fran experiment!"
I would feel like the wife who doesn't realize family finances are in jeopardy, cuz hubby keeps spending $$$$ to continue the illusion that everything's fine!

Can you still wear the black shirt once this polo thing comes out? I can't imagine the pilots are very pleased.

At least the FA's look professional. Sorta reminds me of this movie...

That's a terrible uniform. Please tell me that you guys are not happy about this.
