New Qantas Uniform

In any case, I've never been a fan of the old-style uniforms and consider them a relic of a bygone era; totally out-dated. I really liked the old Virgin uniforms and was sorry to see them go when Borghetti took over.

White Hat? It will look crap in no time. No way I'm wearing a Jacket in the heat. As for the skinny fit pants, there ok if your under thirty and at the low end of your BMI, but QF hasn't many like that. I hope the RM's are not a requirement??? Wings are cheap rubbish and they even scraped on the shirt pockets, no buttons. Current uniform isn't bad enough to call this an improvement.

Baaaahhhaaaaahhhaaaa. I am going to have to bring a change of clothes, as I'm not wearing that circus outfit to and from work, I won't even be able to pull in for petrol without being laughed at. ������������. Joyce's revenge on the pilots I thinks. Bloody dreadful!!

Don't torture us! Where are the pictures?
You should have received something via your internal email. Cobham guys will wear this as well as Link, Mainline, Freight, Jetconnect and Network.

DIVOSH!
Found one on the QF website...
Doesn't look so bad... No dayglo though!
What about my poor neck? A regular few shavings will pay for the chiro though, I suppose...
Nice big pockets. Now I can upgrade my phone!

Approximately 4 kilograms of gold bullion thread will be used on the hat and wing badge

Paying for the RMs?
So RMs must be worn with the uniform, making it the uniform? (by definition)
So shouldn't the RMs be provided by the company as per applicable EBA - if it is the uniform?

Retro paint jobs, now retro uniforms. It begs the question, when are we getting retro qantas management? You know, the type that actually value the things that made the airline great in the first place. Nostalgia is just dandy, but it really is just a facade isn't it.
Not a bad uniform, just don't like the intent of it.

It is cringe worthy. They can stick the RMs, the jacket in fact the whole thing. Should have taken the VR. What an embarrassment . Waste money on this crap while the punters can't get a choice of meals. The lunatics are running the asylum fair dinkum.

Oh dear, it looks like a cross between the sort of suit one of those "city wank3rs" would wear, and something you'd find in the same shop Borat got his nice shiny suit. The hat? All I see is the fat conductor.......
Ansett had them
I joined Ansett in 1964 and I had to wear those horrible white hats from 1964 until 1974 ( ? ) but luckily Ansett got rid of them. I think ANA had the white hats for many years before my join date of 1964
They were terribly hard to keep clean and faded badly in the sunlight .
The ones we had were made of some type of plastic top and were very hot in the sun in spite of being white.
Would be better suited on a pastry cook IMHOP.
The rest of the uniform looks quite OK.
The hat - RS

The fact that anyone actually cares what they wear indicates that engagement is far too high. Turn up, wear it, go home, get paid. Pretty simple.
There's been no pride in the uniform for years - ever since the company decided it was cheaper to outsource the flying to everyone else rather than keep a QANTAS pilot on a QANTAS aeroplane to do the job.
If they pay me to wear a monkey suit, that's what I'll do. The rest of the angst is a waste of time and effort.
