To think the new British Airways uniform (announced today) is awful?

[Waterandair]

The options are either a jumpsuit all in one or what is basically a suit and skirt. The males are fine with their suit but us the girls have been screwed over. Myself and pretty much every other crew member I know think it’s awful, we’ve been told if we don’t agree to wear it then our contracts will be terminated. Nothing feminine about it. Your fine wearing the suit if your a man but us females will look so manly it’s terrible!

Identify as a man, then you get to have proper trousers with really deep pockets.
You could not pay me to wear a stupid jump suit...unless they're expecting you to wear a parachute during the flight too.

You're not wrong @Waterandair they're fugly. I bet they're polyester too.

And yea, we can wear trousers but that’s not the issue that we have. And I like I said before, BA only consulted the ‘uniform ambassadors’ despite what the BA press office claim.

I don't think it's too bad. It's a lot better than the Virgin Atlantic uniform.

That crossed my mind actually. Order the size up and much longer to give you extra snip/stitch room.

What trousers can you wear?

There is a trouser option for women.

I read on BBC news website that they do have a trousers option.

The dress looks nice, and I actually like the scarf.

I wouldn't fancy having a skirt with a big red arrow pointing to my groin though.

The current uniform.

If we choose trousers it has to be the men’s trousers.

TBH I think the Jumpsuit looks the best (I hadnt thought of the toilet issues though) Surely if enough people are unhappy they may rethink ?.May be worth a try .Red and blue are BA colours ,so I suppose the designer thought they would work?

The skirt is horrible but the dress and jumpsuit are ok. I wouldn't choose to buy them - they wouldn't suit me.

Nooooo I love the Virgin one.

If we choose trousers it has to be the men’s trousers.

Seriously! That's bonkers that there isn't actually a pair of trousers included in the women's uniform options.

It's like a kick pleat I suppose, but it doesn't look great on the skirt. It's far too open. It looks ok on the dress.

Agree op it's hideous. Hate jumpsuits anyway remind me of Annika Rice jumping out of helecopters.

Who on earth designs a jumpsuit as cabin crew uniform?
Answer= A man who is never going to try to go to negotiate undoing it while not letting it touch a filthy toilet floor all within the confines of a broom cupboard.
That's just ridiculous
When I think back to my travel agent days in the 80's we has some shockers! But that does all look a bit old fashioned.

Is anyone seriously going to opt for the jumpsuit? Who on earth wants to do a complete strip every time they have a wee? Have they thought about how much working time will get lost that way?

'The designer' is Ozwald Boateng!!

Won't the scarf dangle down into peoples dinners and cups of tea?

The scarf is silly- it'll fall forward and dangle in food and drinks as they are being served - unhygenic. The skirt with the pleat at the front is very 1980's hate the red interior.

It's just a work uniform though. I have to wear what basically looks like a pair of green pyjamas. As longs as its practical and comfortable that's all that matters to me.

Corporate uniform is shit. What's new?
