How embarrassing it is to walk up to the counter and notice we’re the only people at the gate not dressed like Philadelphia Collins. I think we should just eliminate uniforms all together and change the name of the Company to Air Monarch operated by Cell Phone Holster and Tucked in Polo Shirt Express.
Sure, but some are far worse than others. I feel like the AA branding is old and dated, certainly due for a more modern look. In comparison, the NF jackets look better in my opinion and are way more functional.
Pilots used to have to carry around 40 lbs of paperwork in a leather case, that has largely gone away to canvas style bags. Just because the look changes doesnt mean everyone looks unprofessional. I have seen pilots from every airline in every type of uniform look horrible. Just because it "looks" professional doesnt mean it is pulled off every time.
