are the rumors of double-breasted "Delta" style uniforms with mandatory hats true?

I voted for triple-breasted jackets and Mexican police officer hats.

They are unfounded rumors.

The Capt I am working this trip with claims the Hat and Double breasted is a done deal.

He is to old to remember his source. & he currently wears a hat so I am not giving him much credit.

Parker has said he doesn't care what the planes look like. I just can't imagine him buying 12,000 hats & double breasted jackets so we can look like Delta.

I hope so. Man that would be cool. I always wanted to work for Delta, but wasn't good enough to pass the interview. US Airways hired me though, and now's my chance to finally look as good as them.

I think even Emily Post would agree the double breasted jacket is an odd thing for a 21st century airline. Although im told the reason higher ups want it is because its impossible to wear it unbuttoned, where as you'll see single breasted coats open all the time. But single breast is meant to be worn open when seated, if its correctly tailored.

With all that being said, bring back year 2000 pay rates and youll see everyone not care whatsoever what uniform they're wearing.

The image of myself and so many of my co-workers in a double breasted jacket fills me with holiday cheer!

Nope. I saw a DL Van God with his Sky God unbuttoned just the other day. A sight to see. Must have been "acquired" not "hired"!
