Oh dear!!

It sounds as if you think ....
I think airline crew should wear uniforms that are fire-resistant, easy to maintain, comfortable and easy on the eye. Good enough for you? Just my opinion. As for 'buying staff uniforms' (ie the company investing in a new vestimentary image ) ... well some airlines require their staff to purchase their uniform themselves at their own expense, from either the company stores or the suppliers, and return it at the end of their flying career with the said company. Some airlines do permit their crew to wear jeans (or similarly casual trousers) and t shirts .. but SAFETY and COMFORT should be important as well as encouraging cutting-edge design from (hopefully) 'local' designers preferably from the country of the airline.

Woke-ness ... well it seems that some members of this forum are quick to comment on the use of a dictionary but to quote the Urban Dictionary, 'wokeness' is described as being a measurable state of awareness about what's happening in the world, which I consider to be relevant in the visual branding of several airlines in their current uniforms ... to allow their crew to 'be themselves'.

You are silly.
Thanks Hovis! Happy New Year!
