casting call update?

The east is mainly an older workforce so I guess they don't realize or care that no one in thier right mind would wear a mock turtleneck. If you look at some of the hairstyles you can imagine that they are not exactly up on current styles.

I think GQ knows more about fashion than Mr. Herman. Mr Herman designs mass produced uniforms for fast food and hotel chains, and bits and pieces for housefraus on home shoppping. That's his niche... US could have stepped it up or dumbed it down. They chose to dumb it down like they have with everything else.

Look at the way US Airways flight attendants dress now. Yeah it's a tacky uniform, but unfortunately more wear it like a rag than try to have a little pride in themselves. No wonder we are looked at as we are by management. The majority of the group does not look like professionals, they look like motel housekeepers.

Oh yeah, business casual, strive to look like your paycheck instead of reaching for better for the image of yourself and your profession.

And no, I'm not a size 2. I'd need that taken in. And my fav guy friend has a thirty inch waist. Why should we be stuck with old people clothes because of everyone else? Flame away, but most of the world would tell you this is a younger person profession whether we agree or not, and we'll be wearing the uniform longer than most. Again, just reality...
 
From another site....

Does anyone have an opinion on the fashionability of skorts? They're about the only thing I'm finding in a short pant that I'm not hating the length of...but there's this little voice in my head that's warning me that they're totally not cool. If it makes a difference, the ones I like are about mid-thigh length.

So, a Friday poll: are skorts fashionable, or too dorky for words?

I'm co-dependent and need the advice. <SDER>

A: When I think skort, I think of those shorts with a flap in the front that makes it look like a skirt, but are shorts in the back. In other words, business in the front, party in the back. Skorts are the mullet of the fashion world.

Yes, the east coast, New York, Boston, are so far behind in fasions like the big cities, PHX.

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."

We should make our own fun safety video on YouTube with this exact announcement! :lol: :lol:
That would be hot!
 
I absolutely hate skorts! I about died at the road show when they presented the skort. Who would even want to wear that? I wouldn't even want to be seen with another crew member wearing the skort. Ugh!

Skort + Toy Airplane Scarf = Disaster

When they presented the mock turtleneck with the sweater over it, it reminded me of Spock from Star Trek. I was dying laughing! It's just not attractive on men IMHO. If they make a mock turtle neck for women I will wear it if it fits me though. I'm a dork. 😛 Hopfully my size 2 body can handle it.

To EMBFA: I was going to send my stuff in so I could be in the video but I'm too pale...I'm not sure people in the hot, sunny desert can handle my light ivory complexion. It would be cool to be in it but I don't want all that attention if I am on an airplane with the video playing. Or imagine my friends and family when they fly - they always have to tell me every single detail of their trip on US Airways and I would never live it down.

Too bad..Soo sad! Some of you are NEVER happy!! By the way, DAL has a full (ugh!!) turttle neck option...since soooo many of you think their unis are superior...guess what???
 
Omg, calm down Sky High! You really should have a glass of wine. I'm having a beer getting ready to go out.

I'm trying to decide between my pink skort or my black one. 🙂

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:

The new uniform looks like old track suits we wore in elementary school. I wore a mock turtleneck in the early 90's. Anybody ready for jazzercise?!! :lol: :lol:

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:

No I'm not suprised....Exactly my point.....VEGAS needs no advertisement....it advertises itself! People go to Las Vegas regardless of seeing advertisements for the place. Spend the bucks to boost advertisements on our other lucrative destinations. Good gawd, everybody in the free world has been and always goes to Vegas every year with or without our obnoxious advertisements at inapproriate times on the airplanes. Enough is enough! The other night going to Dublin, Ireland on the 757ETOPS the level off video came on and was ok until that damn blaring Vegas ad came accross.....Oy Vey! We turned off the video because people were complaining! Is it me or is the volume for the Vegas segments recorded much higher on the boarding and level off videos! Give it a rest already....talk about running something into the ground over and over! 🙄
 
I'm sorry but that mock turtleneck is soooo Spoc. I can see wearing that waiting for the elevator to our "new" crew room in PHL. The door opens SHHHHHH and I get in. The door closes. SHHHHHH. I mean it's something from the Enterprise. I wouldn't be caught dead in that heritage striped shirt. It's a total rip off of that dreadful shirt that some of our male flight attendants wear out west. I think it was big on Dance Fever or was it on a used car salesman? I know it was somewhere. I'm glad they are gonna have flat fronts for guys like we currently have. I love my flat fronts. Working first class. "Would you like anything from my basket"?.... 😉 I told a few of my female f/a friends to not even THINK of entertaining the notion when it comes to the skort. My god who wears that sh!t? I think a great female combo would be the striped shirt and that smock thing with the skort. HOT....totally HOT. All I have to ask about most of this new uniform is...."Does it have the VISA tag on it"? Remember Barbara Mandrell and the "Look for the VISA tag" commercials from the 80's. :lol:
 
I guess I the lucky one here 🙄 I will be wearing the zip front dress and I LOVE IT! We have one person out here wearing the dress and it looks really and she's really comfortable in it! I will definitely order that with the new scarf that I heard about today, with red!!!!! I don't like a lot of the other pieces, you won't catch me dead in skorts :shock: and you won't see me in the pants too often. I will order all of the scarves, the dress, pants, and blue shirt and feel good about wearing it. Sorry if you're body type doesn't look great :down: I've seen one guy wearing the mock turtleneck and it looks pretty nice and one other guy is wearing the striped tie (very sharp!) an a white shirt and he looks good too. I'm excited for it!!! 😀 :up:
