As for rumours regarding a fancy new uniform. Looking into the future, in this pic we can see a some flydubai pilots, attending a low-fares promotional parade, looking resplendent in their new flydubai uniform. Complete with properly big hats, plus lots of dubai-style bling, the medals they wear with pride upon their chests are awarded for the number of times that that pilot has flown into a war zone whilst in the service of flydubai and are more correctly known as "We're monitoring it" awards. Also, and contrary to how it might appear, these pilots are not retirees, oh no sireee. These 'young men' are currently serving pilots, whom just happened to look old, haggard, & shell-shocked, as a result of the horrendous rostering they've had to endure.
