Ditzy, vile unifrom aside, may I just add you crack me up

You lost me somewhere around "JetPrincess" due to falling off chair

Think I have to reserve final judgement until I actually get to SEE this Jaffa-inspired ensemble...

Anyone got pictures yet?

SkySista -
The inspiration for the JQ uniform is the Ansett 'Bumble Bee' garb from the '70s.

Yes it's a return to what once was. The JetHostesses of yesteryear. "How can both airlines be the same? We've got Susan Jones..." You better believe it!

It's new, it's now, it's never been done before - it's the BUMBLE BEE! The uniform is so out of date - it's new again!

The large black component was obviously inspired by our friend Morrissey. "Black - it's the new Black."

"Catch a ride on a smile - fly Jetstar. The System of the Golden Jets."

You see all our managers began flying in the 1970s (Ansett) when flying was glamorous. They have tried to bring back the glitz and glamour to it all with the '70s uniforms. All they have succeeded in doing is getting a Greyhound bus and attaching wings!

I can just see myself after pax have boarded the first flight. "Quick - call Australia's Most Wanted - tell them we have EVERYONE!"

Ditzy!

Haven't you heard? Morrissey has been at Oz Fashion Week parading the new black - WHITE! Where's the logic?!

See your point about "BumbleBee" outfit. Sigh. I look crap in orange.

Dr Phil - I completely agree! I have only just regisetered with pprune and Ditzy has had me in stitches more than once already... LOVED the 717 tribute page, had to add my 2 cents worth... As far as JQ uniforms go folks can someone organise a photo for us?

Many thanks people for your kind words. If you were not laughing with me you would be laughing at me - sometimes both. I am obviously taking too much of something - or maybe not enough!

sinala1 -
I am glad you find me a source of amusement. I just LOVE you for saying "all over the shop..."! Legend! I thought I was the only person on the planet that uses that saying!

Guys we could run around town trying to locate a Digital Camera device. Being FAs it would take us a year to figure out how to work it - and even then it would take longer because we would bitch about having to do it then finish reading the latest edition of Who! So let's just wait until Monday. Two more days. I am sure Jetstar / Dowd / Weiss ( / Red Cross Shop?) will be only too keen to plaster their handywork all over the Net!

Dare I say their photos may make the uniform look a little better than it actually is. My using a DigiCam will make them look more 'ordinary' than what they really are - if that's possible! And of course there would always be the chance of me accidently uploading nudie shots by mistake!

Two more sleeps, Kids. I can hardly wait for ya'll to see...

Hi Mr Seatback 2 and Ditzy,

Cherubs, I managed to see a little flicker of the Jet Star uniform on the Channel 9 news at around 6'ish last night. What I did see was quite impressive - fairly smart and stylish. So, I have jumped onto the net to try and download a few piccies. I have checked the Jet Star site, QF and ninemsn and cant seem to find a picutre anywhere. Would you guys know if there are any pictures out there as yet?

Thankyou in advance, beautiful people.

xx

Not a bad uniform at all

Hey all,

After seeing it in the news and via the links above, JQ's uniform is not bad at all, guys! At least boys get to wear a suit type jacket, all we have at AO is an ugly zip-up/factory-worker type jacket. Don't know when, but I will be the happiest AO FA when the uniform is announced to be changed.

JQ girls look great in the orange, they really nicely stand out. You guys rock, go and impress the public on 25/05. All the best.

The Sydney Morning Herald gave the guy's jacket an absolute CANING for it's design.

Apparently we all belong in Star Trek - the William Shatner generation of Star Trek.

Shocker of a jacket. I mean, those lapels look like they're a dangerous good, or explosive, or something!

Now all you need are the star trek ears and it will be complete.

Seriously though- I like the uniform. Much better than I was picturing in my head. And the guys jackets will be a talking point. Wonder how they will look inside out...............

SkySista -
Yes that was I.... And Yes! I will as soon as I get the chance... Will advise you of the date of my termination party!

I am the only person who will be wearing the jacket. NO ONE I have talked to likes it... I just cannot be seen in a black black and black outfit with a polo top! If I was playing golf then I would happily wear one. I just don't think it looks very professional. Hence I will never take the jacket off. It is quite embarassing though. By the sound of it I will be the only male flight attendant wearing the jacket. Oh well. I am used to people laughing at me!

I must say that the guys and girls in the photo shoot look great. How will it look on us at 0515 doing our sixth 4 sector day in a row? Go Jetstar!

Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to rid one's self of love handles? These polo shirts are quite fitted and not too flattering in that department. I am not interested in exercise or eating properly (when I do remember to eat it is usually healthy anyway). I heard there's this tape you can buy. You can tape your love handles back and create that 'coat hangar' V! My partner says love handles are great to hold on too - BUT WE WON"T GO THERE!

Oh and I still think the uniform is vile

Good night kids!

Ditzyboy, $3500 will get rid of your love handles with great results. Speaking from experience ! And the fat can NEVER go back there.

Good God that orange really is offensive.

The guys just need a thin leather tie and the look will be complete. It's life Jim, but not as we know it.

And what's with the girls wearing those stilettos? Could poke someone's eye out with those things!

JEEZ-UM-CROW !!

Well, Johnnie Travolta was there .... funny enough, I thought the uniform looked like something out of Grease ! Those Lapells .... I thought the new QF uniform was gross .... methinks I will stay with the nice red-lined jacket thanks


Oh and Ditz love ....


As for the love handles .... remember, carbs are your enemy !!!! I got from a size 14 to a size 8 just by cutting out carbs (oh and the only exercise I get is handing out the arrival customs docs to the pax!!)


Just go on a 'meat only' diet, I am sure you will cope
