Glad to know I can go back to stereotyping and not get called out on it! I wonder what ethnic group, gender, generation, political ideology etc I can now attack by way of stereotyping? Can you help me out since you think it's OK?

I’ve been doing this gig a few years and wouldn’t say I have the data to support being responded to better or worse than my buddies at UAL/SWA/AA/Endeavor/Skywest. I’m all about happy pax, but my hunch is a smile and an unfurowed brow go farther than a double-breasted jacket in achieving that end. Who knows.
Personally, I run a little hot. I appreciate being able to vent a bit with an unbuttoned single breast jacket which isn’t a (fashionable) option with the DB.

I’m on the other end of the spectrum. Pilots/flight attendants/mechanics/gate agents… each position needs 1 uniform. (2 if we’re going to do summer/winter.). It looks better as a group and has functionality identifying who works here.
The ultimate experiment in comfort was years ago when we did BCRF month and as an employee (not pilots) if you made a donation, you could wear a pink t-shirt and jeans ALL MONTH.
It was almost comical watching passengers come up the jet bridge and couldn’t find the gate agent to ask about connections, particularly international connecting customers that didn’t understand the fundraiser or speak English. Imagine the chaos of a bunch of t-shirts trying to corral passengers evacuating a jet if we had an emergency. On top of that, we looked like trash. Some can pull off pick-your-own-jeans day, some insist on 3 sizes too small!
Dress for the job you want. If we all dress like train engineers, expect to get paid like a train engineer.

As for the fringe emergency example, the safety vest we already have in the flight deck takes care of mitigating this.

You misunderstood what they cared about. They picked the less of the 2 uglies.

has anyone seen the new uniform color? I’ve been told it will still be black, and in the pictures from PBs email, the female options certainly look black in the picture.

All I know is that the samples in the bases looked like AA tried to change their uniforms to look like the traditional Delta one but didn't want to admit it.
