I have seen the new catalog of pieces for the f/a's. I had a "westie" (sorry) on my flight who was on the uniform committee in some capacity. She tossed her name but I forgot it or else I would have posted it. I posed a few questions to her regarding the pieces. I mentioned that our wings, not to be territorial, I don't know about west, are screw backed. She said we would be getting new wings that supposedly are a pin clasp. I was worried about pushing the wings through the shell sweater, etc and causing fraying.
Raincoat. I asked her about a half rain coat. I mentioned that the new raincoat is nice, however in PHL it can be 90 degrees and raining...who wears a full length raincoat? She told me I SWEAR TO GOD that I don't fly to rainy cities in the summer!!!! I asked her if she had any input on the cactification of our a/c and how we are to deal with coats in the winter WITH NO CLOSETS since she probably doesn't fly to cold weather either.
Names on wings. She wasn't sure. I told her that I wouldn't like my name on the wings. Yeah sure, people will jump on that, but if you want my name I will give it. It's not like you couldn't track me down via " coach f/a on flight XXX on Oct XXX PHL-XXX". But think who wears a name tag and how people react. "Hey.....Violet, how about a Coke..and Violet...how bout some blankets for my 'ho s. They cold.
As for the $$ allowance it seems sufficient. I won't commit til I try on stuff 2 see if I like it. Some items seem too casual, but if u can beat em, join em.
feel free 2 chime in.
