Thumbs down New AirNZ Uniform

So you Air New Zealand people slip into you new unif rm on Monday.

It looks pretty damn disgusting to me.

What's the general opinion?

nostril hairs,

Are you like me, had a few too many wines and considering things which really on the grand scheme of things , mean nada?

Maybe you can help solve this dilemma;

I like travelling on budget airlines cos I am poor - which means Virgin is good.

But I don't like Virgins' uniforms , that pale tan colour is just a bit yuck really and the shape of those dresses with the silly little belt. Spew.

I've always enjoyed Air New Zeland ads - beautiful scenery, some maori singing - all good. But now they are getting crap uniforms I really don't know whether I should continue travelling with them.

Boating attire has always appealed to me, maybe I should only travel places where cruises go?

Life is too hard some times. I'll go back to writing letters for fundraising for the orphans from the civil war in Sudan.

Looks like it may have been designed in Hamilton?

I must say, the lady tech crew in skirts is a nice change. More airlines should follow suite, its bad enough the women look like men in 'men's uniforms', bring some skirts and heels into it yowwwwww
discuss.

I would have thought skirts would be most impractical for tech crew, how about shorts?

I am sure shorts would work great!!

I don't think you'll find any tech crew wearing skirts (cabin crew, yes). I think the uniforms look pretty good (I'm certainly no fashion expert as some of you appear to be though). As long as it's comfy.....

btw, there's heaps better pubs in H-town than the Outy!

Is the rumour true that 80% of the male tech crew trousers were returned as they were too tight ? I am told correct waist size ordered but poor/tight fit around certain parts of the male anatomy. If true, a poor reflection on Zambesi.

I think tech crew, skirts and 5 point harnesses are mutually exclusive.

As for the appearance of female pilots......who cares if they can do the job.
It might even be better for the guy in the other seat not to be distracted by the stunning looks of the captain (or F/O or S/O), coz we all know how much trouble some have keeping themselves under control!

I guess the women pilots are lucky that all male pilots are sooooo attractive!

Femme cabin crew

My observation (sexist as all hell); if dress size is less than or equal to 10 it looks great....especially when its cold

As for us Pilots....its free, not double breasted, polyester or pleated!
