I talked with a uniform tester and he says the unis will be rolled out for testing in the springtime. Maybe they’re a bit early?

Sounds like the West Point cadet uniforms.

Wear test begins this summer. Not sure what you saw but it wasn’t ours.

I would rather wear a hat than a tie. Hate ties....they serve no purpose. At least with a hat you can skip combing your hair in the morning.

Btw, I’m a uniform tester and haven’t even been fitted yet. I think they said we would be wearing them in june

We already have mis-matched uniforms.

Summer you can wear short shirt, no hat. You can also wear jacket and hat. Two pilots flying same plane dressed totally different. Winter one pilot can wear the coat, and another the leather jacket. Women pilots can a blouse that doesn't have a tie.

We don't actually have uniforms. Instead we have a palette of choices that largely fit the same design, but again, aren't "uniform".

Yeah that's pretty much any airline though. With the exception of the hat, and nobody here wants to do the year round hat thing.
