Just as long as we don’t discuss the uniform on this thread then it’s fine. Earlier this year on the UA forum someone showed how Delta flies more people across the Atlantic than any other carrier. United must dominate Delta pretty much everywhere else internationally.

EXACTLY! 
You look at the first airline uniforms and take the latest versions of today's airline uniforms--draw a line and see the slight progression?
Retro would be a grand slam....aka Pan Am. I nod to our elders who made this a great career.
As far as "Thick Stripes" vs "Thin Stripes". aka not looking like a Regional pilot (from what a ALPA REP told me)
...ever heard of TWA, PAN AM, NWA, EAL, Braniff, National....I could go on? All of home had thick stripes!

On who's order is this ?? United management - or the nameless members of the ALPA uniform committee ??

And UPS got them at auction from a UAL dumpster (or so I can only imagine) And yes they are exactly the same uniforms ....what’s that mean for us going forward?
Purple isn’t meant to be a part of a professional uniform, regardless if it’s airline or office! Tie and/or accessories...that’s different than the entire suit/uniform.
I’ll wear damn near anything as long as the paycheck clears and it’s from the company on my aircrafts tail....just let me ask for... no hats and my leather jacket !😀

Just save yourself looking like a retard and admit you don’t like them because they’re a throwback to whatever legacy you didn’t come from or thin stripes just offend you or something that can’t be easily disproven.
