I finally saw it on a “wear tester” yesterday, and must say that it looks much better than what it looked like in pics!
Can’t wait to wear it since I can’t stand our current (VX) uniform!

The pants are very comfortable and the shirts are equivalent to "A Cut Above" shirts. Long story short, The new uniform is an upgrade to the AS and QX cockpit crew uniform
You are pilot, just the same as the rest us. Thanks.

The new uniform is stupid, but the fact that the shirts are white means that I can keep buying shirts of my choosing rather than their low quality crap.
Van Heusen Aviator is crap?

Default Whew...

To my brethren (and sisteren!),

My condolences...was sent this link by a friend and was whattt? face when I saw the pics...

I see the PC police have taken over the corporate culture at your airline as well: 3 lady pilots and 3 guys...truly representative I'm sure They shoulda had them riding out on unicorns and rainbows.

What's up with the 2 on the left? They must've mixed up their hats backstage at the fashion show (Too big head, too small hat needs to switch with too big hat, too small head gal to his left).

I'd tolerate a lot of style silliness if it fits right and is comfortable.

Yes. Poor fit unless you have a BMI over 30.

I like them and look forward to the change.

Pilots reflexively hate change.

The tester I ran into said the uniform was comfortable, fit better and seemed to be more durable than our current uniform.

I do hope they decide to keep our current wings, no history in the new design.

Honestly I will wear whatever, it’s just a uniform, my request is that we do not have to buy it out of pocket.

The whole part about fit and wear are bogus. All the wear testers have custom uniforms....Built for them....we wont have anything fitted nor will we have a fit center....The ink blue sharkskin uniform pants from M&H are indestructable. The blue of the new uniform will show every speck and stain.....The wings are pathetic and the Members Only jacket is just to trendy....and a hat??
