No one said needed to be thin, to be FA. However you generally pick uniforms that make your employees look great. You pick clothes that support that employees looks and distract from the less flattering. I.e. as a big guy i would never wear a striped shirt.

And I don't agree that it takes time to adjust to a uniform. The current uniform introduced in 2006 looked great right from the start. The flight attendants look professional in them. These new ones look like something your grandmother gave you that you would only dare wear when she comes to visit.

Who came up with this? I do not care, but I would guess the average age of a DL employee is around 30-45 years old (front line). Some are 50-60+ years of age. What moron in ATL approved this uniform change? DL had the most professional uniform of all USA carriers. Why change it?

The pilots uniform is actually a slightly modified US Naval officers uniform. It's never changed and not likely to change in the future.

Yup I never understood why they wanted to change it. Nothing wrong with the current uniforms at all.
