AAhh Cabinboy,
what is it about these acubra hats that everyone likes so much??
Is it just me or does anyone else feel they are a little too 80's.
But who knows they may actually look good.
love SMILE

It's down to two designers ( and no acubras), both have dark colours for the single breasted suits.
And neither of them are the designers for Aussie Airlines.
I dont think people will find either design as colorful as they thought (feared) it would be !!
But both are a lot more modern than the current 80's kit - and I must ad, the current one WAS designed in the 80's, thats why it looks that way
But keep VB well out of ya minds, I dont think they will end up going that trendy/ casual !!
Personally, I see nothing wrong with the current. But it will be nice for a change - it doesnt matter what we think of it ...... we'll still have to wear it

The current was designed in 89, waited in the wings for a while, then implemented after the merge
I agree, liked the last TN unifrom, it was certainly unique.
RM Williams is no longer in the running.

Please NO hats! My managers got upset at my no. 0 on the sides and no. 1 on the top hair cuts so I have grown it long (no. 5 in length!) ... It takes me ages to do my hair and I don't want some baby-poo coloured, butch looking acubra to wreck it all.... Now, a camp little pill box number..... :-) - JOKING...
Seriously, hats are not very business like which I think is the look they need to distinguish from Virgin Blue.
Oh and a camp little apron to wear in the galley.... Oh that's right. We tried that at Impulse and it was NOT a good look. Purple and all - it was VERY camp!
Have a nice day all! See you on the next 717 Super Jet service to Penrith!

I am soooOOOoooo glad to hear that RM Williams got the big gong!
Apparently, they had plans to deck us out in a filthy culotte!!
Can you just picture us? My god.
Evacu8, you sound like you are in the know, will this be another uniform style that tries accomodate all sizes - from size 6 to 26? I am not being rude at all, but personally I would like to see a more modern and flattering uniform for the larger sized staff member. (I know that this could be a very touchy subject, so I am treading carefully here because I am not trying to be nasty - just expressing another view) Sometimes I think that it would look more professional and stylish for those concerned.
I just dont think it is necessary to have only one style for such a vast and varied group of people, you can still keep the consistency and the professional identity there by using the same colours, fabrics, prints etc.
Happy flying and happy days
