They have one laid out in ORD ops today. It looks even worse in person. They say nothing is set in stone yet, and are going to push a survey to the iPad some time soon.

How much would it cost to cancel the new uniforms?

Lol, they just spent 2 years and what 5 million on this and now another survey. I guess they should go back and read the first survey. Is this really all that complicated?

There wasn’t a need for new uniforms in the first place. Just find a vendor that could actually keep up with demand and use better material. We could simply buy new pants or other items as what we have wears out. There was no need to spend millions of dollars to come up with this stuff. The flying public shops for service and price. They are not going to pick or avoid an airline because they like their uniforms. The vast majority don’t even notice or care. Simply maintain a professional conservative dress and focus on providing a service that makes people want to spend their hard earned money at United again and again. Pilots wearing a goofy looking uniform or if the flight attendants wear an outfit that looks like they’re going to a formal at Taco Bell won’t really make a difference.

Agree with all.

Please PDR.alpa.org to uniform committee.

About our only recourse.

Right off the NGFAA recruiting poster. Very fashionable. (Wait, is that redundant?)

Can we get matching belt and shoes for the tie?

That flight attendant uniform looks more piloty than the new pilot uniform.

I most definitely concur with this. It looks much worse in person. The blue sucks, the hat is ridiculous, and the stripes look cheap. Honestly... the tie is the best-looking part in person.
