New CSA & FA Uniforms Coming Soon
A FA friend of mine let me in on that AS is introducing new uniforms for FAs and CSAs. They have been designed by the same company that did US Airways uniforms and Chase which also has Men's Warehouse as the parent company? I know that Men's Warehouse is doing the tailoring and fittings of the new pieces. The expected debut is January 2011, however most employees will have their new uniforms before then.
The highlights: more brown in the uniform. Female FAs look like the brown in the bulkhead with a brown blouse (haha). There is also a new striped shirt. FAs/CSAs can now wear some new colored shirts (striped and light blue in addition to white). Yadda yadda yadda - new sweaters, blouses, shirts, and ties. There is a lot more color in the new uniforms.
CSA agents also have an option of wearing most of the FA items. CSA agents will look a bit more professional, and the uniforms are very close to each other, except I think CSAs don't have to wear the blazer/blouse.
And when I say there is a lot more color, I mean the uniforms match the bulkhead. So for all you missing triangle lovers...

I'm suprised it took so long for this topic to show up on here!
There are FAs out there wearing the new uniforms right now to give the pieces a test run, so keep an eye out for them.. they look sharp

The new uniforms look nice to me, but ultimately, I'm happy if the CSAs and FAs are happy with them. I don't have to work in a uniform all day--but they do

Not a fan of mustard-y brown (I prefer less yellow, more red/blue), but if others like it...
I tend to like the VX color scheme of red/white/black. Go figure.

Personally I think the uniforms are pretty nice. Of course not everyone will be happy but there are plenty of options for all to choose from. I really like the new dark blue pieces as they have a much more comfortable cut and more breathable fabric. I've tried on the uniform to get my sizes for everything and all items seemed to fit me much better than any uniform pieces I have now. For me at least I'm pleased and think it's an upgrade both in product as well as service (delivery and tailoring options, etc).
