The whole thing is ridiculous and is the exact opposite of “uniform” as many have already pointed out.
For an airline that on paper cares so much about appearance and presence that it’s an interview question, it’s a strange move. They should have picked either one or the other.
That being said I’m going with the double breasted option. Looks sharper and I feel it does make a difference at work on multiple levels - in a positive sense.

It could also be that 99% of passengers think we look like dufuses and only the 1% who think it looks good care to comment. And just that no one ever thought enough of the single-breasted to say anything either way because its just so ordinary. Who knows.

For those of you saying the flying public is ambivalent to our uniform, I have an honest question.
How much do you interact with passengers?
As a commuter I am told often, the uniforms are great. I am a chatty Kathy so I open myself up to conversations that others so often avoid via headphones on deadheads. I just wonder if you guys are biased from the cockpit echo chamber or from being “told from a buddy on the 4th floor” that you never really listened to your customers in the first person.
But, I stand by what I said earlier, I don’t really care. I just want a paycheck and will wear whatever.

It was so strange I still remember it several years later.
