casting call update?

I would like to know how many advertisements they are going to put into the new Safety Video.

"In the unlikely event of an evacuation, please keep in mind that Buy On Board Food items may still be available for purchase before the evacuation actually commences."

"Once you have secured your oxygen mask, you might find this a good time to peruse the SkyMall catalog. Discounts are available only during this decompression, please see any Flight Attendant for a "Buy In the Sky" order form."

"If an emergency landing occurs in Las Vegas and you're in need of hotel accomodations, call 1-866-GO-VEGAS!"

"Post evacuation, your Flight Attendants will be available with Bank of America Dividend Miles Visa Card applications. Start earning miles today whether you get there safely or not!"
 
LOL! That's hilarious!

"Welcome Aboard US Airways. We thank you for your attention while important safety information is reviewed.

Please direct your attention to the flight attendants in the aisle. They are easily identifiable by thier McDonald's uniforms.

You must comply with all advertisements, lighted or otherwise, and crewmember solicitations.

Please review your US AIRWAYS LAS VEGAS card in your seatback pocket. It reviews the location of every casino in Las Vegas as well as a profile of other hot spots in Arizona and Nevada.

Your seat cushion serves as a flotation device. Simply place you arms through the straps, being careful not to cover the advertisement for Slim Jims underneath.

This 737-300 has two exits in the forward part of the cabin, and two in the rear, adjacent to the lavatories. In the event of a power loss, simply follow the smell of rotting human feces. To operate the exits, find a buddy, and point at the exits and each other for several minutes, verifying the presence of the door.

There are two window exits over the wing. If you can squeeze your way towards them you are welcome to them.

If needed, oxygen masks will be available for purchase, cash only. Masks are $5, and are yours to take with you for use on future US Airways flights. Masks for children should be purchased seperately.

A lifevest is located under your seat. It is a "business casual" vest, meaning it's full of air but doesn't work at all, makes everyone involved look ridiculous, and helps alienate, enrage, and literally lose customers. Simply place the vest over your head and ponder why on earth you would fly anywhere wet when there's a world to be had in the desert.

As a reminder, smoking is not permitted in any part of the trailer. Chewing tobacco is permitted after takeoff, please ask a crewmember for a party cup.

As always we thank Travelocity for choosing US Airways. We don't expect to see you again, but we got your money this time. Have a good flight suckers."

OMG......CAN WE PLEASE STOP THE LAS VEGAS ADS! 🙄 Geezus, this Airline flies to incredible places in Europe, Carribbean, Latin America, and Mexico.....give Vegas a rest! You don't even have to advertise that place, it advertises itself! C'mon this is not AmericaWest anymore........think BIGGER! It's a wonder we are in such sad shape with this small airline mentality.....you would think Phoenix and Vegas are our only destinations!
 
They will market vegas until the cows come home but as soon as you mention using larger a/c or adding flights they say it's low yield. Well give it up then. This company makes no sense.

Turtlenecks, skorts, and scarves with toy airplanes on them. I'm in hell. As always US Airways leads the pack to the bottom with it's employees gleefully participating.

Well EMBFA, you are entitled to your opinion. You are MORE than welcome to continue wearing the circa 1985 uniform with countless bandaid accessories or lack of such. If you are such the great fashion expert, perhaps you should enter Project Runway. 🙄 Then you could design US Airways a real uniform and would get to meet the designer that was once the president of the association that represents ALL designers and tell him his US Airways uniform design sucked. :lol:

I'd be happy to design one!

My problem with the uniform is not Mr Herman itself but the company's Phoenix-centic business casual directives. We are embarrassing enough without seeing all the fat bellys busting out of a turtleneck or a scarf more suited for wiping up baby spit.

Like everything, it has to be all about the desert... which is a very small part of the airline. Business casual, no ties, no customer service, laid back in shorts and tees, the planes have to be white and have tacky heat waves on them... that's fine for that part of the country but it's a national and international airline that is more than Phoenix and Las Vegas. United has a crew base in Las Vegas and they don't have cheesy shorts to accomodate them. They have bases all over the world and don't design thier uniform or brand around one part of thier network, nor does any other airline that I can think of.

There are elements of the new uniform that are ok and I know what I'll be wearing. Overall though I think they cheapen the image of flight attendants even more (if that's possible) and take away of the idea of a uniform- a single identifiable look.

And you want to talk about 80's... skorts? Turtlenecks? That dodgy striped shirt and tie?

I wouldn't put UAUA's uniform up there with anything NEAR GLAM or MODERN for that matter. We do NOT have turtle necks offered as the OVERLY BELOVED DELTA has but MOCK crews which many of us like. You know, perhaps if some on these boards would stop TRYING to find negativity, they might be happier AND I include that in myself. Some of you wouldn't be happy if Jesus Christ himself were running the company.
 
EMB you crack me up! That is so true! That scarf with the airplanes looks like it should be hanging from a twirling mobile on a babies crib. And with that sweater get ready for guts and man boobs! :wacko: Mock turtlenecks are what 1980's gone so so wrong? This is from a GQ article last year:

Q: I have an ongoing argument with a coworker about wearing mock turtlenecks as business-casual attire. He thinks they are awful and out of style. I wear mock turtlenecks for business-casual functions with nice dress pants and shoes. I thought you could end this argument once and for all.

A: Okay. Mock turtlenecks are awful and out of style. I have spoken.

I am so glad YOU and GQ know more about fashion than fashion designers. :down: Continue to wear the shiny blue slacks looking like TSA and every pilot in the industry. I love how you guys know soooo much when you know NOTHING!!! I will take Stan Herman's advice over some whiney employee or passenger ANYDAY!!

It may surprise you, but from what I've been told by the vacations employees, LasVegas is our number 1 revenue producer of vacation packages. I guess thats why they advertise so much! Thanks America West!! :up:
 
Oh LCC lighten up. It is what it is my friend. Work clothes. You can't please everyone but I will not be caught dead in that mock turtleneck. My problem is stick to the classic basics! Even if that mock (uhg) turtle neck ever made a comeback it would only be a year or two fad like it was from the get go. I and most others think is UGLY and shows too much. Stan should pick things that 5-7 years down the road are going to still be stylish. When in doubt less is more and go with the classics.
Now go have a glass of wine and relax as it's a uniform not your burial garb.
