Westjet FA Uniforms

Post by gonnabeapilot »

Westjet's supposed to have been rolling out a new look for their FAs this month to reflect the airline's attempt to attract business travellers. From what I've been told it's almost identical to what Air Canada has their FAs wearing... right down to being supplied from VF Imagewear. Has anybody seen them in their new duds? Thoughts? Does anybody know if this means the pilots are getting a new look too?

The pilots were put in to black instaed of navy blue. Silver wings, belt buckle, epaulets. Doesn't look much different, but far more comfortable than our last supplier.

I think the FAs look great. Much improved to the old uniform.

Pilots have the same uni except for the hat and blazer. VF does ours as well.

A little off topic but, do F/O's still help groom on turn arounds?

Everybody grooms. Travelling standby as an employee? you groom. Whatever it takes to help and get the plane turned around safely.

Flight crew groom the cabin once any pertinent operational requirements are met(ie Flight Plan reviewed, etc).

Too bad the pilots could not get a nice blazer too. (no hat). Now the flight attendants look way more formal and professional than we do with our leather bomber / lululemon jackets.

Did you really mean to say "safely"?

Just noticed the new uniforms a couple weeks ago. I think they look great, but I wasn't really paying attention to the males.

I'm thinking the 'broken marriage' average might go up significantly with the new uniforms... :rolleyes:

Only if you're an owner.
