I think the uniform change is tied more to the new A380 that is coming. There has been a lot of speculation that the company wanted to update its image in line with the new aircraft. Given that the whole aircraft interior colours are changing at the moment....seat fabric, curtains etc....I guess they wanted colours on our uniform to complement that also.....wise move anyway....black and silver look much better against the current interiors of maroon and mid grey. The Aboriginal print, when introduced about 6 years ago, was novel and fresh at the time....but now its time to move on with the future. I hope the new colours are more stylish and sophisticated.
