You all will be wearing blue shirts in a few years.

...just keeping the title of this thread in mind.

Wouldn't be surprised. Would be a solid network with a nationally recognized brand.

The uniform has already been decided. Its basically what Alaska has now with a bit different blue and platinum epaulettes.

Luly Yang has pilots from both companies selected to wear test the uniform.

This is true. What a total disappointment! Alaska had a chance to do something fresh and new but decided to be their typical boring self...

Wear test and make it clear the hats, ties, and white shirts just didn't really work out.

So pathetic! But I'd expect nothing less from this clueless company. They are so afraid of change, which is probably why they were in the situation where they had to buy virgin. I'm looking forward to 30 years of stupidity

What part of Adopt and Go Alaska did ya miss

A conservative mgt that is at least trying to compete, grow, and survive long term versus those who sold out their employees to IPO and then put us for sale to cash out. At least you'll (probably) have a 30 year career at Alaska. I doubt the same can be said for standalone VX.

I know, I know. I just wish Alaska didn't always operate in the shadows. It's their outdated mindset and arrogance which opened the door for DAL to come into Seattle and practically own the place in two years time. I'm still trying to figure out where the growth is though. 5-10 new airbus and a net loss of 4 pos 737s hardly equals growth in my mind.
