I was employed by two airlines - Ansett (until they went bust) and Virgin Blue, and both times I tried to dress like their flight attendants do... for ansett, I wore a very conservative navy suit, knee length skirt, white shirt, navy scarf... for virgin I wore a camel coloured skirt and white wrap shirt... so while not EXACTLY their uniform, it was pretty close... my philosophy was if I look like an employee of their airline, then they will be more likely to envisage me working there...
I wonder why some suggested other wise?
Different strokes for different folks, but that's what I'd be doing!
