New Uniforms!!!

Looks like new uniforms are in the works.

No doubt this is a cost saving initiative.

The company will save in material costs by removing the empty area of the trousers normally occupied by testicals.

Savings may be lost however as that material may be needed to make space FOR testicals on the cabin crew uniforms as they obviously need it!!

New pants will be in the 'German' style with a flap at the back to allow for the company to insert pineapples faster.

It will be a "onesy" with hoody so the new hires can sleep rough around the airport and be ready to spring into action on G days. Everybody wins.

Will we finally get a fully combustible material in the uniform? That 5% cotton somewhat hinders quick and complete incineration in case of fire.

Also; stairs down to dispatch will be replaced with fireman's pole to shave 30 sec off your sign on time.

Personally, I'd prefer a gold lamé jacket with blue satin stripes.

If they're going to treat me like a fool, I might as well look the part.

The "onesy" will also be useful for seven hour sits in a terminal between an operating flight and a PT flight. It will have extra deep pockets for storing food for the long PT in economy because business class does not exist in that area of the world (US domestic for one.)

I'm sure (well I hope) I am not offending any of my colleagues when I say that the majority of us will never look as good as our Alitalia brothers smoking outside FCO.

Therefore Eddy Lau or Armani, Double Brested or not, really will not improve our appearance. Just like those waste of money Widescreen TVs in the cabin Crew briefing rooms do not hide what a CX has become.

And at a risk of sounding misogynistic, please do not tailor the female trousers. It really won't be a good sight in dispatch.

How about some pilot's wings on the shirts. Sick of the worn out, usually unintelligible name badges that nobody reads.

As long as they're HUGE.
As a side note, I am expecting a clown nose and clown shoes.

Personally approved by AT. Time to take some pride in our profession and appearance. I can hardly wait.

+1
In a previous life I worked bloody hard to earn a set of wings. Current ****house CX name badge has the black writing peeling away, and "gold" badge is now silver.
Wings on the uniform.
