What’s the history of gold wings and stripes? Is this the first time it’s been changed from gold?, effort to stop legacy wing wearing?
Not AA mainline, but same uniform. TH looked and fitted well, now it's M&H and there is very little (if anything at all) good to be said about it. It is definitely traditional though, right out of the 70s. On the bright side, Envoy retained the old Eagle right to wear leather jackets, the saving grace in the current uniform situation.
