Alaska. Best Tie, best epaulets, nice deer skin leather jackets, nice wings/logo, good looking hat. That said, I don't wear it much. I cover up and take off the tie as much as possible. Broke my hat years ago. Oh well.

Delta...no question.

Double breasted may be out of style on Wall Street. But never for a uniform appearance. And the link to Naval tradition of the Double Breasted is awesome. Also, although I would agree it looks better on a 170 lb person, it at least hides the gut. Compare that with some of the single breasted suits on some of these porker pilots. They can't even button the darn thing.

Relax man, its just an opinion. And, I personally prefer the classic double-breasted DL monkey suit. I have to admit that the UAL uniform looks the most modern to me though. When it comes down to it, who cares though. It appears that you work for UPS. I don't dig the brown unfiorms at all. But Im sure you're much happier with your job than any UAL or DAL pilot right now.

You would if you had one.

And to add on.....If you are in it for the uniform and public attention, I suggest you pursue another career.

Talking BS Talks, style walks!!

Its been a couple of years since I saw (a crew) in this uniform, but Alitalia pilots have a very well made uniform that (on the right figure) that seems to cut a nice path. I think it may be an Armani styled/made uniform and I'm sure having a couple extra pounds around the belt would kill the effect.
What also (helped) was being surrounded by some kick ass Italian eye candy (of course also well dressed [NO SLACKS ] ).

Ciao

I think UAL's suck too (I prefer their old ones). Sorry, but UPS kinda suck too, but at least no one (passengers) can see you.
I vote Continental for black and American for blue.

You're absolutely correct! And thats the point. At the end of the day it's about your QOL, compensation and the stability of the company that determines who has the better job.

And to answer your add on...I know you don't know me, but trust me when I tell you I deserve more credit than being thought to choose one carrier over another based on the uniform. As I said in my previous post:

"When it comes down to it, who cares though. It appears that you work for UPS. I don't dig the brown unfiorms at all. But Im sure you're much happier with your job than any UAL or DAL pilot right now."

Well, for one they are buying us all new uniforms and leather jackets. Brown, black, purple, neon green....who cares? I don't have to pay for it! If it's free, it's for me.

I personally like your avatar's uniform, for female pilots of course.
