I like the idea of stars. A bit like my old primary skool. Worth developing further?

Do McDonalds staff still have stars on their badges? ...

If so we know where Alex eats

Nice thought, DYKWIA, but I doubt many CC could fit in that ... or indeed get through an over-wing exit.

Anyway ... I thought BA was supposed to be saving money, not spending it? How much will this PR bullshot actually cost? And will it be worth it at the end, apart from a bit of fluffy publicity?

I’ve grown accustomed to the AA approach ... wear what you like, as long as it’s dark blue. That must save a FORTUNE!!

I`m imagining something like this, but sewn in at random spots in the fabric...

The £400m has to be spent on something

There is no new uniform, the former Special Service team now called the Concorde Team will have a uniform supplied from M&S.

That's incorrect I'm afraid CIHY. A new uniform is coming in 2019 to mark the centenary of the airline that is now BA - apparently staff will be involved in the design. Announced as part of 2017's EoY results.

I wonder whether it will be coupled with a new livery and corporate design - I'm already envisaging a variation of Iberia and Level called "British" (for nostalgia), mainly white with a red and blue box and the crest on the tail...

They might ask M&S to advertise on the side of plane to help pay for the costs

I can see it now... “This isn’t just any plane, this is a British Airways plane

For cost savings crew can now just come in with whatever clothes they have in their closets... just be mindful not to confuse your cabin crew with the pax seated next to you.

They will just issue the staff with one of Alex's used once hi-viz. He wouldn't keep one in his drawer for the photo ops it would be a fresh one each time. After all this cost cutting only works if it doesn't affect him.
