But I think the point is that if we are going to have a jacket, having something that is distinctive and associated with the brand is a real and valuable thing. To me, if they are going to water down whatever image we do have, we might as well have a functional winter coat. Like a Northface or other technical jacket. Southwest has figured this out.



I really don’t get this dig. I’ve been based in both Atlanta and New York, and the only place I’ve ever seen uniform police was NYC, and that CP/RD got fired for it.
