An FA only needs a uniform the jacket of which he/she will be wearing whereas my business trip may well require busniess, casual and formal wear for my meetings.
If I am required to adhere to an unreasonable rule that I can no longer carry a purse, they should be able to do so as well.[/B]</font>
Geez Punki and I've thought so highly of all your other posts (hey, 99% is pretty good) but I have to respectfully disagree here. FAs may need 2 - 3 extra uniforms depending upon length of assignment - I think a few work up a sweat especially with meal service and shorter flights and I know I'd appreciate them changing for the next day
. I think most of them go out of their room during layovers so casual clothes are needed. They cannot check luggage so it MUST be carried on.
I think the new rule is to keep the wait at security down and I think crews need this exception as they don't have the options we do.
