Some nice shots of the Cally chics over on the "Nostalgia" section regarding the B707. See what I mean ?

Setting aside airline hats for a minute I started wearing hats about 25 years ago. They keep the weather off (rain, sun and everything between), keep your head warm when it's cold, the brim can be adjusted to keep sun out of your eyes (much more effective than a visor when driving a car). I am a particular fan of Tilley hats (Canadian but available in the UK).

And, on the subject of sun and going back to airlines I watched a captain, as he started his approach, take off his headset, put on his sunglasses, a baseball cap and then put the headset over the ensemble. Finals was direct nto sun and he pulled the peak down to help keep the sun out of his eyes. Yes, it wasn't his uniform hat (I don't know if he even had one) but ........ Maybe some of you need a company baseball cap with a nice long peak!

Why are there no photos of said uniform? Does ‘woke’ mean you have to guess what they look like? ;-)

Still trying to find what’s “woke” about the uniform and why would it matter if so Alsacienne ?

Its a classic British designer, a very well conceived pilot suit that is modern and with conservative, classic touches.

Some little men see “wokeness” on everything, as if that was even a thing. Is that because the designer is black? What part bothers you so much?

Not sure if it is still the same since I last flew Southwest in the USA. Basically ground and flight crew had blue SW polo shirts and it looked like their own beige chinos as everybody was wearing different styles and slightly differing shades. Plus sneakers of their choice. A large capital investment such as this by BA can be written off against tax so it’s not as ostentatious as made out to be.

I really, really, really wouldn't do that. I'm sure a grown adult can work out how to dress themselves or if they find it too difficult in the space provided, choose not to wear a jumpsuit again.
