When Jeffery & Company Be ya ch about our CBA/'costs', we can swiftly inform him that he does NOT have to pay for any contractual uniform revamp......stay the course with his cost cutting.....Board Short, T-Shirt, and Flip/Flops all around. If he's going to live under the hyme of 'cheap it down', why not follow-suit system wide??

"Island Wear" for ALL

At least they painted a UAL aircraft. I was begining to wonder if this was a one sided affair. The font does not look good at all. Should have been capital U folloed by lower case...oh well, it's obvious I'm not in charge. I know we have bigger problems than fonts. Now on to uniforms.

Just me but never minded the blue uniforms

Embroidered wings are an option. From my purely unscientific observation I'd say I've seen about 50/50. Personally I like the metal wings better.

Embroidered wings are more convenient than the metal wings in my opinion. They don't trigger metal detectors. Thicker stripes look better. Stripes on the UAL outfit hardly show. My feeling...if you are not proud of your uniform, you will (may) fly like it.

You know, I think you guys ought to stick with UA's stripes. I always can tell their uniform around the country but with the thicker stripes you look like Skywest...ASA... or any of the other express carriers.

Differentiate yourselves.

I agree,
You can always tell a United uniform...I agree to not wanting to look like the regionals.
