comparing a hypothetical religious persecution that hasn’t happened to single breasted vs double breasted is a bit of a stretch

I’ve heard of religious exemptions for certain uniform requirements, perhaps you could get one for your hypothetical pin? I think some religions require long sleeves, so Bucks example probably wouldn’t require an exemption.

Can we elect to spend the “multi-millions” on something that actually affects quality of life? I don’t care what costume I wear at work. I sure would like it though if the airline was properly staffed, or iCrew went the way of the dinosaur, or maybe vacation paid what a day is worth. Stuff like that.

Nothing will likely change but this is my lottery ticket attempt for changes I want.

We finally have the chance to get rid of the hat or at least make it optional, but instead, we are getting caught up in the language of culture war. Who cares why Delta wants to change the uniform. When doing the survey, just try your hardest to ignore words that trigger you such as inclusivity. Everything in life is already political, and the last thing we need is for our opinions on a uniform to be categorized as red/blue.

For all you folks trash talking the uniform need I remind you how disastrous some ummm, most, of the FA "uniform refreshes" have been? 
If you think it can't get worse think again. When I think of any change more involved then just dropping the hat this is the image that comes to mind:
Danger!

A coat when the weather dictates. Something functional with a removable liner, not a suit jacket. We are not businessman, we are pilots.
The hat? It’s a throwback. Get rid of it as it serves no useful function.
So yes, something else altogether. Looking professional doesn’t mean looking like a doorman. It’s 2021. Let’s dress like it.

A complete overhaul of pilot uniforms is necessary. They're all extremely outdated, Delta's the most by far.
There's a reason doctors wear scrubs and tennis shoes now. Let's try to be as smart as them and get something as comfortable as possible. Stop worrying about looking like a gold plated polyester peacock walking through the terminal, thinking you're impressing anyone older than 5 years old.
Comfort and function. Our days suck, our trips suck, our deadheads suck, our overnights suck. Let's at least be as comfortable as possible to mitigate fatigue as much as possible.
