If the hat logo is temporary how are they going to change it, isnt it stitched on?

I feel for the female CC though. Material is 100% synthetic, not the nicest in summer. If they look hot and flustered it is not because they like the new flight crew uniform...............

If that's true then I can see hats going back to get the logo reattached as the stitching is not the best. It was on the display uniform and when asked if that was the final logo the SBP advised it would change once the rebranding was complete.
Ah physco joe glad to see that I wasn't the only one that loved the 'straining buttons' of the old uniform, especially with the girls with a shirt that was just a BIT too small ! Being served by them was like half a peep show !
Ahh memories !
Ahh memories !
And who do you think they will get to undo the stitching and re stitch 800+ hats psycho joe? The flight Crew?
Half are struggling with ironing their shirt.
My guess it will be a pin type badge that will sit on top of the current "globe".

The fashion in which the logo (embroidered Globe and Wreath) is attached to the Virgin caps is exactly the same as the QANTAS caps and the RAAF caps.
So my conclusion is that QANTAS and RAAF will have a logo change any day now.

What about all those Pit Crew overalls bursting at the buttons also from all those meat pies and Crownies ?
Funny thing is that the QF Cabin Crew are also bursting at the buttons but not from a new uniform design !!!

But lets face it, pants of any description are not usually a particularly flattering item on someone of size anyway.
I like how the female pilots get a female shirt. I know Air New Zealand started that a while ago (in this region anyway) and I think it looks great. In general, the uniform looks pretty good. Of course that's easy to say when you don't have to wear it.

I know at east one smaller GHC used to wear hi-vis vests with no shirt at all when it was hot. I wasn't complaining but apparently it was deemed 'not appropriate'.
I thought we were talking about uniforms not penises !!!

Personally I could care less about airlines re-branding with uniforms and what not. I'd rather they just got the basics right like scheduling within their resources so I don't have to wait every morning for boarding because of delays.
But keeping with the topic, hats on pilots? Some love 'em and some hate 'em. The mob I work for has both types but if you are not a fan of the big-spiffing-look-at-my-shiny-new-lid then read on:
step 1 - rip out plastic circular collar from top of hat
step 2 - once over the tyre with family car in the driveway
step 3 - short cycle but rapid spin at 30 degrees (not 40) and repeat
step 4 - rubber band the diameter sideways and leave to dry (this will change said cap from 'russian military issue' to somewhere between the baggy green and those cool german U-boat commanders style)
I personally guarantee this more weathered head garb will make members of the opposite sex look twice and it will only autheticate and legitimise your 15,000 hour swagger through the terminal.
Best of all I don't charge for this.

The hat badge looks remarkably like the one on an old family friend's (German) East German Police hat. Only in the middle of the circle there is some kind of devider or compass or some such communist garb.
