DAL uniform .ohh hell no. that jacket is stupid looking
i like UA's thinner stripes and the stripes on the tie too. i also think blue is easier to keep clean than black.
but i also think we have much more important issues ahead of us

If the current UAL uniform is so bad, then why did USAir, UPS, Netjets make carbon copies?
I don't see too many people that copy the Delta uniform. Can't think of anyone other than their commuters and don't even think they do the DB jacket.

I actually think DAL's uniform is the sharpest, but double breasted is a minor pain in the rear and I don't care for the partial stripes. Overall, I actually like the CAL uniform best. Long story short, I really don't care except for being able to wear embroidered wings and a liberal hat policy.

DB jacket a la DAL only looks good if you are slim and medium to tall in height. They do not look on fat overweight guys and gals whether they are short or tall and unfortunately most fall into this category. I've seen more fat ones than slim pilots.
Hat only helps bald pilots. Those of us with full head of hair don't care for them at all. They are too damn hot to wear in the Summer.

World-famous designer, Cynthia Rowley, has been tapped to create new uniforms for United Airlines employees.
The designs, which will be sported by everyone from flight attendants to maintenance employees, will be created with both fashion and function in mind. Modern aesthetics will be incorporated into designs—along with breathable, durable fabrics—to update the airline’s current image.
“New uniforms, with an improved look and feel, are a key investment in our company and our people, who are the face of United,” said John Tague, President of United Airlines in an official press release. “We have chosen Cynthia for her keen sense of style and for her commitment to involving our employees' important input throughout the design process.”
Rowley, who previously appeared as a judge on “Project Runway”, is noted for her whimsically feminine design style and affordable prices. The award-winning designer has dressed countless numbers of Hollywood’s fashionable starlets, including Julia Stiles, Kristen Stewart, and Scarlett Johansson.
“Travel is a huge part of my life and authentic to our brand,” said Cynthia Rowley in a press release. “It's such an exciting opportunity to design for United, a company with a rich history, expansive global reach and, like myself, Chicago roots.”
The decision to bring Rowley on board is only one of the investments United has made in their future. The company has already begun work on improving their aircraft interiors, and is striving to better their on-time reliability performance and customer satisfaction.
Rowley will kick off a month-long world-wide tour of open forum meetings with United employees to gather input for the new designs, which will debut in 2011.
The collaboration is another project in Rowley’s already-diverse portfolio, which includes approximately 50 stores located throughout the world, a recently debuted kiddie collection for Babies’R’Us, and a line of home accessories, branded Swell, sold at Target stores nationwide.
