Weird announcing new uniforms without actually posting any pictures. Must be finalized by now.

Some crew/GA/ticketing staff looked like they were starting to wear some pretty worn out clothes!

Well, one thing is for sure, the older folk will not be fitting into SLIM FIT(tight fitting) Christopher Bates ensembles!

1) I posted the chart which was from the MD&A

2) It takes Boeing less time to build a 737 than it takes AC to acquire new uniforms :P
