The pilot uniforms make me nervous enough already (and I wish I could unsee the FA uniforms). The colors across the work groups draw straight from the palette of branded colors announced a while back (such as Pacific Blue, Premium Purple, etc). Go watch the "Evolving our Brand Design" video on united.com if you aren't familiar.

What really makes me sweat is the idea of this color palette possibly being applied to a new livery and such. We might be able to get the uniform look where we want, but I don't think the colors can possibly be applied to a classy, timeless livery. In other words, I'm afraid the CO has been building momentum for a while towards a livery that we are going to be stuck with for upwards of a decade. Uniforms are not that expensive to swap, but once a livery is announced or painted reversing it is a tough proposition. Even if you are o.k. with look/comfort of just the pilot uniform I'd suggest fighting it out on this line now. If/when new livery gets announced based on this palette, the fight only gets tougher. I will fling spaghetti of all types at every wall I can find to try and get something to stick. I hope others feel the same way.
