A triumph of style over substance.

Thanks for the red ties boys, Cathay Dragon pilots were asked about the colour because we have choices ROFL, they answered with a resounding no to red.
Of course we got red the choice of revolutionary pilots, I wear it with pride.
BTW I was surprised that I like the QF hats, do I want a hat again no bloody way

I just want the damned thing to fit

There is a clinic in Coogee that will re-size your head for $1500AUD.

How much for a reshaping?

Hoofharted 16th Dec 2016 22:33

What really pees me off is the ridiculously stupid fake pockets, not to mention a plethora of dinky little buttons that make ironing a pain in the arse. I actually cut the shirt pocket buttons off.

When do we get proper wings and epaulets?

About five years time when this uniform is redesigned again to match whatever they've come up with for the cabin crew.

March from what I've heard.
Did anyone get the trench coat on Friday?

You need a tractor and hose. Never fails.

You need a hat to keep your crap in. Otherwise you can never find it.

No one has mentioned that the female uniform only sports one breast pocket. Apparently Martin grant either thought that female pilots had only a 50% pocket requirement of their male counterparts or that all pockets were only for show.

There's a white hat in the Jetlag Bar................gold!

In a late FSO, the new Qantas uniform is declared unsuitable. Pilots who still have their old uniform may wear this until a new(er) is designed.

DirectAnywhere 1st Apr 2017 00:31

The far better April Fools' joke is on the sad sacks who have to continue to wear this abomination. Oh, wait.

Now you get a ring to go with it. Is there no end to their generosity.??

Keg 4th Apr 2017 04:38

Will need a re-write of the grooming standards to comply. Not gold, silver or platinum.

Nasal? Penile? Or just rings in general. Always been plenty of them around.

I doubt Keg will wear it. ;)

(Or me for that matter, I think it is overstepping)

Keg 4th Apr 2017 22:20

Yes tankengine. Highly unlikely. :D Ultimately I don't expect it to impact me or other pilots very much at all.

I feel sorry for the F/As who doesn't support SSM. Awkwardness on the other end of the cart with the potential for it to impact adversely on the creation and viability of the teamwork so critical if things go wrong. Ultimately that could impact all of us in the crew. := :(

maggot 4th Apr 2017 22:33

What is this ring? ?
