Re silver/gold stripes. Silver was used because,
1. It goes with livery, no gold in new one.
2. Gold is now thought of as looking OLD, silver more modern, that's what the feed back was from both customers and staff.
3. Had to be different from QF.

Wow. How exciting all of this is. You never know, maybe the ASM's or should I say Leaders will get back into their 'reds' as well ?? Very exciting indeed. Can't wait for updates on hemlines, eyeliner and skin softners !!

What has the livery got to do with the uniform stripes??
Big question is, why did it have to be different from Virgin Atlantic?
Is the Mothership considered old and not modern? Is VB destined to always be the convict cousin? One brand and all that quaff, old boy.
Customers and staff preferred "silver stripes"??
You have to admit, the QF uniform does look stylish and professional, as opposed to the low cost (modern) JQ look...just the feedback from customers and staff!

It's a uniform not an olympic medal
According to this ad it looks like VA does use silver anyway.

Ken is no fool
Amazing!
What deep and serious thinkers are the DJ lot? With the many problems afflicting the Virgin Group of companies, it beggars belief that the best that can be discussed is a bloody new uniform.
Says it all really.

Uniforms are an ego card for some. Looking full service is different to actually being full service. Time will tell.
Yeah, you lot.

I hate to say it, but Qantas pilots in their uniforms, simply look like dorks...especially the pompous Captains!!!
Very stuffy indeed, I don't know how they stand themselves....

Ah, dunno what youre talking about UAL Furlough
Even though they have them, I cant remember the last time I saw a Qantas pilot wear either a jacket or a hat! (except when there is a check captain around
)
So pompous and stuffy?

as for the thread drift
mourn the passing of a beloved friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was as his birth records were lost long ago in bureaucratic red tape ..... now it's the QF Captains uniform under the thread heading of Borghetti Swoops .

More rumblings have been taking place in the land of the funky furniture - The Village.
Some mid level manager's are not happy with Il Deuce disposing of higher level incompetents and bringing in 'outsiders' to the village, so they are plotting against the wiley Italion stallion.My question is plotting to do what ? Crawl out from under the desks they have been hiding under for a decade ?
Same managers are crying about other internal 'stains' receiving promotions by default also ! Word is that Il Deuce is again sharpening the sword and is very close to slicing some fungus off the village tree and then bringing in some other ex QF pals !
Perhaps in line with how this thread has drifted Borghetti may also introduce new uniforms, lipstick, higher hem lines and foundation make-up and new F/O only uniforms?

Interesting announcement that a certain high level ex Airport Mgr has just retired from QF after 42+ years and "will put his feet up for awhile"... Also intersting that he is good buddies with JB.. lets see where this goes!

No one who ever met him [in whatever capacity] could ever come a way less than impressed. He was loved by his staff who shed many a tear when he left LA.
An EX QF GM who had the ability to "bring his staff with him" rather than stand behind them with a stick.
That type where once a rare species at Qantas.
Now they are extinct, eh Lisley ???
