Yes, Honey they are all real life JQ Cabin Crew. There was more people selected to be 'models' at the launch.
Sadly JQ managment only included SYD base. They also only included one original Impulse person. Some people in the photo had only been online for a month. I think it is really sad. I thought a launch would include people from across the network and include those who stuck it out under horrendous conditions to make the company the success it is today. (No! I wasn't rejected from 'model' selection
) Also our company has many equally beautiful people so it's not like that was a factor.
Cabin Crew management are using the excuse "rapid expansion" to explain its inadequacies, favouritism and inability to handle discilpanary actions fairly. Management are also using it as an excuse not to deal with the union. It is very frustrating as the union can't affect change if management are 'too busy' to attend meetings. I wonder what their next excuse will be?

Just conveying the thoughts of many others. Hoping and praying that things will not go back to the way they were. The problem is that 99% of Impulse/QantasLink/Jetstar FAs willl put up with anything and get on with the job. I just hope it doesn't mean our relationship with management returns to where it started.
Like I said I am really embarrased! Even the media is slagging out the guys' jacket. And it is the only part I like!
Doesn't say much about my taste! 
A320 training will be blocked in May and June rosters. It is one day theory in SYD and then one day on the doors and slides in BNE.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww they don't call it 'Jetstar' for nothing!
*******You guys look like stars!*********
Don't listen to what anyone else says. Yes the orange is rather bright but hey the passengers need something to look at on their flight, right?
Goodluck on the 25th!

I'm sorry to say it but what on EARTH were they thinking when they designed that uniform????
The girls jackets are bearable, but what's with the bowling alley stripes on the boys?
The best thing about the uniforms are the bottom halves!!

They're perfectly appropriate! The length of the aisle is about as long as a bowling alley. You can take a Jila mint and bowl it down between the crews legs in the rear crew seat! Just wait until you get the muffins they will add a new 'edge' to the bowling technique and give you a more 'lawn bowls' effect. They just need the shoes to match.

Shame..
Yo all don't get it DO YOU...!!
The uniform is supplied FREE... who gives a s_h_i_t what it looks like.
Some of us have had to pay for uniforms for the privilige of working for an airline.
Enjoy, have fun.... get a life the rest of you

Build a Bridge!
Well said Dobber 
For goodness sake....it's a bloody uniform you lot....pop those party and clubbing numbers on for the weekend!
Geeeeeez...it doesn't matter how much you whine about it (yes.....you know who you all are).......it is not gonna change this quickly....not for the forseeable future anyway.
And YES it's a FREE uniform....would you like to pay for a complete Morrissey designed uniform yourself???? I think not
Build a bridge.........get over it!
Go JET*........Good luck for Tuesdays first flight
Love "Pants" x

Thought it was pretty obvious we were all having fun... While I am out getting a life would you like me to pick one up for you both? Seriously guys. It is all harmless FUN.
Dobber and Pants -
Can you honestly say even a third of the crew like the uniform? None of us were whining as you put it. Just laughing at how bad we think it is. I am confident most JQ crew agree. Hell even the media went to town on the Male jacket! We all have opinions and are free to express them last time I checked.
A new uniform will never please everybody. However more thought could have gone into a couple of the pieces they came up with. Go on and deny it! Fact is we all have to wear it and we all will. Have not come across anyone wanting to quit over the new uniform. There is a few people somewhat disappointed though. Again - try and deny it.
What's all this about having to pay for uniforms. So what?! Good luck to you if CHOOSE to work for a carrier that makes you pay for uniforms. Just because it is supplied by the company doesn't mean we have to be ecstatic about wearing an "offensive... StarTrek" jacket, as described by national press.
Incidently. I really really like the new crew bags. What they lack in length they make up for in thickness. And I think we can all live with that

I don't get off by being tied down by just anyone, you know...

DITZY
I am SHOCKED AND APPALLED at your reference to thickness over length LOL you call yourself a flight attendant? Its all about size honey!
Re tied down by just anyone well hmmm I know a couplea ppl who are known for their abilities.. would be happy to put you in touch!!!
As far as the uniform goes folks I gotta agree with ditzy, this post is all in good fun. We all poke fun at our uniforms - f
ck knows I poke fun at mine! But as ditzy said at the end of the day no one is quitting their jobs over it, and to be honest guys come on if you lose your sense of humour over something as trivial as the uniform then how are you going to survive on the flight line?
Its all about fun and hey if we cant laugh at ourselves then we cant laugh at anything else (and btw I am constantly constantly amused by myself for many and varied reasons!!!!!!!)
Cheers folks, and btw ditzy that jacket mate the good thing is I guess you wont need a High Viz Vest hey - its built in!

I agree with Ditz...the new trolley/day bag is very nice. Much better than I had anticipated.
Can you blame me for being so cynical? Those BLOODY lapels will be the death of me one of these days!
I wonder if it's scientifically possible to wear TOO much orange at once - like, does it cause eye injury? brain haemorrage? fits?
