If you look at any of the occupations on the weakest link, Anne will at some point take the p*** at their expense.

I think that is one of the reasons that the programme is so popular. I personally don't think that LoCo carriers CC are really any different to the likes of BA, we are there for saftey as our primary job. (just to let you know I am not crew for BA, but a charter airline)

I think people see the service side, all the freebies, hot meals and the look of the crew, to pigeon hole people. I don't think that has come out right so let me explain :

Look at EZY's old uniform - shirts, t-shirts, skirts, trousers, combat style trousers etc, etc it was a personal mix and match.

BA - skirts, trousers, blouses, shirts, jackets.

Service - EZY - pay bar, food for purchase

BA - Hot meal or snack, free soft drinks, tea, coffee.

Also a definition of a uniform is

A uniform is a set of standard clothing worn by members of an organisation whilst participating in that organisation's activity.

So ezy looked different and that may make the general public look at them as the poorer relation, it shouldn't do, but it may have an influence on it.

just my personal ramblings
