It reminded me of the cheap ass stuff sold at FBO’s or flight academy’s to make private pilots feel like they were hot shots in a “cool uniform”
I honestly felt the tie color was one of the least offensive parts. Really stunned at how bad this thing looks. PDR will be submitted shortly.
Thanks for the post!
Still waiting to see this in person. I too was trying to keep an open mind but others observations are starting to cloud that goal.
Pilots are not about GQ fashion statements. It should be conservative (not a political term here folks so relax) and understated.
Quality, function and fabric was my only desire in the new uniform.
Accent stripes on collars have no place on a pilot uniform.
Total unsat move by folks that work in wacker making fun decisions without engaging brain.
Dark navy, black I don’t care. Not some shade of blue.
Disappointed is my position. Shame on the uniform committee for not communicating any objections they had prior to this media release.
And if they approved it.....guess they need to go!
