The uniform refresh is a golden opportunity for the company to finally give us a FUNCTIONAL winter jacket option (looking at SWA, for example), but they will not take it, and will continue to force a round peg in a square hole.
In the meantime, they leave the masses with no choice but to wear a smattering of (hopefully black) jackets on walk-arounds and in Transportation vans.
One of the comms a few months back BS (flight ops) said they were planning a more functional coat. I haven’t seen or heard anything since then.
