All signs point to Delta paying us appropriately soon. If that does happen, I hope strict adherence to hat and double breasted jacket returns. Call me old skool, but I like the iconic Delta uniform and strongly believe it's a big part of the Brand.

If the vast majority can’t identify a Delta pilot by the uniform, how can it be so important to the Delta brand?
I realize it’s a uniform and not a suit, but it looks more like a costume. Uniforms change! Look at the military, sports teams, law enforcement, etc.
Yes, I will wear it and knew I was going to wear it when I applied. The contract outweighed the silliness of our costume and that’s why I applied. We are changing things in the contact, why can’t we change other things for the better?

I agree with Trip here, y’all signed up to play here knowing the Delta uniform standard. As far as changing it, you might want to, but the man paying the bills isn't going to relent.

So the flight attendants always piggy back on our stuff.
How about we piggy back on them having uniforms not designed before any of us on the seniority list were born. (and no, I don't consider the new ones to be a new design, just the illusion of one)
This photo is from 1947. The pilot uniform is still the same.
The Flight Attendant probably still works here and bumped me off my commute home today.

1) Those buttons need more brass. Maybe whatever their 2 stripe position radio operator, navigator, engineer didn’t get the full Admiral look
2) Passengers today would just love the dead animal attire. I can just see the reactions of the aisle passengers as her scarf’s head bumped into them.
I’m glad uniforms can change, and I hope ours do before I retire

The “Brand” argument falls flat when a customer can buy a ticket on “Delta” and fly on an RJ flown by pilots who don’t wear hats, then connect to a codeshare partner flown by more pilots who don’t wear hats.

Solution to the jacket dilemma:
PBS bid line #1:
Award rotations w/ destination in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central/Latin America, Hawaii, Africa, South America, Southeast Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia, Middle East, India or Micronesia.
Else Start Next
Problem solved.

Long sleeves with epaulets looks absolutely silly.
