I think our friend Morriessy tried to bring black back (say that after a few Chardy!) but think it is yet to catch on. I reckon the women in the black dress look as if they are waitresses for some old rich dude. I keep thinking 70's porn but is that just my sick imagination?
The women look fabulous in the print dress. The vibe seems to be that the Link print is nicer but I prefer the mainline one myself. Either way the print dress looks really stylish and comfy. Very Summer but still business like.
Also love the women's pants/skirt and blouse combo. Very professional. Saw some older women wearing it and it made them look a million dollars.
Still not sold on the Mormen look for guys. Yet to be won over. I still reckon it is too traditional and black. The print tie just adds a "I've been to a Yothu Yindi concert" feel to it all.
**Newsflash**
Link Boy walks from aircraft to crew lounge in T2 with jacket reversed! Yup. Very embarassed and probably wouldn't do it again soon judging by some of the looks I got from other crew and customers. Ground staff thought it was a laugh! I think one took down my name though... Biscuit Chucker I will advise you the location of my termination party
The only comments I have received have been from frequent flyers who say it is overall a better look and crew seem to have a sense of pride about themselves now. Getting lots of people saying I/we look "smart". They must mean smart as in the dress sense 'coz I obviously ain't no Einstien
Also Nev and Von (whom live in a campervan by Hobart airport) said:
"Yous all look very posh dressed up to the nines and that. Morr-o-say did a good job I reckon. Cultural and everyfin' with the dreamtime pattern and that. It's so noice to see yous all get off the 717 jet service with the new posh get up. And the kangaroos on them luggage bags is very different and unewsual. The kangaroo brouche that your bosses wear looks just loike the one Aunty Norma weared to Church and that. Noice"

I thought of you as I walked through the terminal with the Qantas Esky / Day Bag. Not completely happy with using it but must admit it wasn't
that bad.

I have thought more about your comments re. the Rex uniform and would have to disagree. At first I also thought it was all a bit bumpkin' and rough but the crew look very sharp and professional but exude that country feel Rex is trying to convey. I think they have done a great job and I am yet to see a crew member that looks silly in the RM Williams gear.
