I think ties look smarter...if I'd wanted relaxed and informal I'd have applied to work at Asda Walmart!

Alot Better

I've worked with Easyjet since day 1 at LPL and think this uniform is a big improvement on previous designs. It looks alot more professional and don't think it will do the airline any harm at all, but only time will tell as to what the the fleets crew think.

Oh my Gord you're going to have to wear a TIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You might even come somewhere close to looking SMART!!!!!!!! Oh no!!!!! How WILL you cope!!!!!!!!

Ignoring the sarcasm in the above post, I do agree with his sentiments. So what if Andy Harrison doesn't wear a tie?

It has always been easyJet policy to not wear ties, but I would be at all surprised if Andy back in his RAC days used to wear a tie to the office.

We are trying to make the company look more professional (because we are a professional airline) and ties make us look like the other airlines out there. The company is 11 years old now therefore it is time that it acted it's age and stopped looking like the young upstart that it was.

My comment in my previous post re: star trek uniform was tongue in cheek, I feel proud to wear my uniform every day. I will feel even prouder when I wear my nice newly designed uniform with a tie when it is launched

Well, excuse me Smudgerorwhatever for having my own opinion. There are alot of us guys out there that just dont like wearing ties, and suits with shoulder pads that make you feel like an American Footballer. Mind you, im sure it will look great once i've dug it out from behind the passenger hand luggage, cleaning packs, toiletries, and everything else found in the overhead locker.

But I thought the idea was that we wanted to be different to the other airlines? I too am proud to wear whatever uniform we are given, and am by no means knocking the huge efforts by my fellow colleagues who have designed it, however atleast with the current uniform, atleast people knew who we worked for. Just looking at the gents now, other than a tie that looks like it belongs to some boarding school somewhere, where on the new uniform is the "Orange" identity that is easyJet?
