uniform (adj.) 1530s, "of one form," from French uniforme (14c.), from Latin uniformis "having only one form or shape," from uni- "one" (see uni-) + forma "form" (see form (n.)).

Would have preferred we stick with the DB, but the masses have spoken. Always thought the Delta uniform looked great and set us apart. Oh well, the times they are changing. Not going to lose sleep over it.

And I’ve never lost sleep over our uniform or our hat…but I am curious about being set apart. To what end?

Ditto.

They better have outstanding quality control to prevent a repeat of the the Passport Plum Debacle.

Are you asking me to what end? Or in general, referencing the company?
If me, I believe our uniform looks the best, and reflects our product. I’m not a rah rah company guy, and am still on probation, but after 18 years of 121 flying for multiple airlines (including wearing a double breast at a foreign carrier) I think we stand out in a good way. Maybe I’m just imagining it, and I know people will disagree, but I think our passengers respond better/more positively to us in our uniform.

Yup.
Or you can wear it all year.
Or you can just deliberately be difficult.

Passengers that fly once a year do.
If you think Orbitz is how our business model works though….

Please don't be that person who wears it all year.

And I'm not being difficult. I probably only wear it 2-3 months a year. For it "setting us apart" we sure don't wear it that much..
