Is there an “official” Kohl’s substitute? I have to admit I haven’t paid close attention to the b&w pieces they’ve been wearing, but there have been a lot of them.

Is there some standard?

There are a couple of facts that you are missing.

Fact #1.) Many of the flight attendants who are wearing black now, absent an ultimatum from the company that they must wear purple, are playing it safe. What would you do if you were being told there was a possibility that your uniform could cause problems for you and your future children if you wore it?

Fact #2.). As pilots, we aren’t paid to care how the flight attendants look in their company approved uniforms. So, if the company says it’s ok for them to wear black, why do you care?

This ^^^^^

Talked with an FA today who said just because she doesn’t have obvious rashes or irritations it doesn’t mean the dye isn’t somehow damaging her health. She likes the purple and would prefer to wear it but out of caution has chosen to wear black. She recently flew an international trip where nine out of ten FA’s wore black.

I feel like this is a house of cards and those passport plum uniforms will be gone sooner rather than later.

Get a life.

You're a cotton headed ninnymuggins.

That's a fact.

Ok mods, I know...I broke the rules...here slap my hand. The joy was worth it.

It's fun reading anout other pilots getting so wound up about FA uniforms.

Not as fun as flying with a fellow pilot who needs to vent about it.

I don’t know what the guidelines are. I would guess there was something, but I haven’t bothered to dig into it.

This is the stuff they worry about at the Majors, kids.
