American Pilots Hate New Uniform

[AAPalmTree]

Yep, confirmed that the double breasted jackets are going away and will be single breasted as well as hats and they are redoing the leather jacket.

Great news!

I asked this before, but I've forgotten... what does KDA stand for?

Kick deltas arse. I've yet to see one.

I'm sad about the leather jacket. I hope the new one isn't an old fashioned bomber jacket.

I'm happy about the hats as well. I think they realized they wouldn't be able to get 14000 former non hat wearers to all of a sudden wear their hats.

That's too bad. American had a chance to set itself apart, and instead decided to let a bunch of whiners force them to blend in with the herd.

Enjoy the "bomber jacket," Fonzies.

I'm not a leather jacket wearer either way but did you see the European one they came up with?

I think every leather jacket looks ridiculous. Leather is for shoes, not for jackets.

I really don't want to, but I have to agree. I think he leather jackets everyone seems to be wearing is kind of tacky.

Yeah, you're right, professionalism is just so 1950.

Expect mediocrity. Far to much attention being paid to "comfort", it scares me.

The loudest crowds are the portly or overweight guys, they are terrified of the double breasted.

Early a.m. and late p.m., after the flying window, scheduled group PT during a run from the E gates counterclockwise to the D gates at DFW will solve that.

I'm actually pretty happy about the rejection of the uniform. Personally, that captain looks sharp as a mother grabber.

Wonderful. "American" pilots, next to any international carrier can represent all of us as lazy slobs. Nice!

Double Breasted Submarine Commanders rejoice!
