...Please, no friggin' hats...

The people who say they know don't know. Nothing has been decided, there were rumors about double breasted charcoal grey. Those that actually sit in the meetings have said that is not gonna happen. It will be a refresh of the normal uniform, no hats, no double breasted jackets and will be the current color of AA.

The hat only looks good if you support it with some bearing.

Hats and double breasted jackets in airport food courts, with all the sweat panted and pajama wearing people, -the contrast just looks silly to me.
Just my opinion, I may be wrong:)

The more contrast, the better. We are the only protectors of our "brand," and it's only worth what we demand for it, both in terms of respect, and in terms of compensation.

Besides, there's something to be said for professional pride. Looking the part makes one feel the part, to a degree.

Sadly, most people don't (seem to) care, which is ironic, considering they've likely invested more in their career than their predecessors!
