Flybe Cabin Crew *new* uniform
Crikey... Just seen the new cabin crew ties and scarves. They are bright red with yellow and blue polka dots...

Heres is the tie material close up (see what we mean about clown like!)
Here is the old tie with the shirt

Ok, the dots are a bit OTT..but I was expecting some kind of multi-coloured outfit filled with red, orange, blue, green diamond shaped bits plastered all over or something (unless that is the ladies version 
)

Flyblue,
Seriously, it is not! You know how garish those Thomsonfly aircraft look nowadays... well I do! I'm now dressed like one!
I for one think that the old tie blends much better with the uniform. It might be a bit 1970's, but 70's diag-striped ties are back in!
Who ever designed this new image? What were they thinking?
T :-(

Are the dots being incorporated into the uniform because on the new Dash 8 Q400's the words British European (written on the fuselage under FlyBe) have been dropped and replaced with coloured dots? I could be wrong though.

Well Stand 5 today at SOU and looking through the rain a bright streak of red was walking along the apron....it was a flybe tie! And awful it looked to. Maybe with this filthy high viz tie, our male cabin crew are exempt from wearing a high viz jacket airside!!!
Whoever chose and vetted this choice must have been p**sed when they did.

I have to say I quite like it. It doesn't look anything like as bad as evryone seems to think. Certainly a massive improvement on the vomit streak that was the old one.
Now if only they could find you something to wear that was an improvement on those God-awful smocks!

Maude,
You're right when you mention the smock/trenchcoat - Hangin!
But I don't agree with your comments on the tie. It's simply just too shiny. The girl's scarves are a bit 'duller' and so are not actually that bad but it makes us boys look like some kind of comedy act. The amount of airport staff, colleagues, ground staff, etc, who keep saying 'nice tie!' sarcastically pretty much sums it up!
