Qantas pilot uniforms
I watched the hype around the introduction of the new Qantas pilot uniforms and thought this was some sort of jokeIt looked like their pilots ,mainly female, participating in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian parade.
The founders of QF would be turning in their graves; there,being led by Joyce and introduced by a black transvestite from the US they strutted out wearing probably he worst uniforms I have seen in many years.
The sooner Joyceis replaced,the better.
Whoop Whoop...
Crazy rant alert!
It's hard to tell, but I think he doesn't like the new Qantas uniforms? Or is it that he doesn't like the manner in which the uniforms were introduced? Or perhaps both?
To quote the great Tony Abbot
, perhaps you should have a bex and have a lay down.

I didn't get that from his post Slezy, all I got was that he doesn't like any deviation from heterosexual white males.
As a heterosexual white male I find that offensive

Unfortunately for you sicofit, there's plenty of female, or non-heterosexual, or non-white pilots in qf. And there's also a large number of white, heterosexual male pilots who would vehemently disagree with your comments.
I honestly think if Fysh, McGuiness et al were alive today, they would be too astounded at the 550 tonne monsters flying through the sky to be worried about what uniforms the pilots are wearing or what race or gender they are.

Just think Luna Park concessionaire's outfit and you've got it, mate.
Just BTW, for a limited time only and to the first 100 customers, complimentary nuts on your ice-cream will be provided at the conclusion of every board meeting.
A stick of fairy floss will also be provided to those who can show that they've polished their toenails.
Go, Alan, you're doing us proud.

A little off track, but what's with the FAs wearing full wings!these days?
I always thought that an FA was bestowed with a half wing for their role.
My 'full' wings were awarded to me after a lot of training, associated costs, and dogged determination. Keeping them requires no less commitment. I wear them with great pride and they represent that I can indeed 'fly', albeit with the assistance of technology.
While I have great respect for my colleagues down the back, the use of full wings on their uniform does not sit well with me.

The smiling publicity shots of crews in the new uniform, taken in front a freshly washed 738 at the SYD jetbase, don't show that just out of shot the QF 767 freighter was conducting full-power engine runs on the test bay only a hundred metres away... there were some very unhappy, un-ear-protected people on that photo shoot from what I saw!

When I first came across a herd of them at Changi airport I thought they were a team of Russian athletes heading off to the Olympics.
Then I discovered these Russian Olympic athletes moonlight as Qantas stewardesses.
Very Thunderbird-esque. All Qantas needs now is pilots with bobbing heads and the fantasy will be complete.

Nunc est bibendum
QFA F/As have been wearing full wings for more than a decade. I think the previous uniform was introduced prior to 2005 and it came with a 'full wing'.
I once had great pride in the wings I wore. Now that they've become a tool of the marketing whiz kids I've learned to let go.

We're all in the same job apparently.
I have been asked several times how long I've been flying by CC, their response is generally along the lines of "I've been flying for(5) years"
Really flying?
