New 'Bonza' LCC launches middle 2022 with B737 MAX
They managed to tick all the diversity boxes in the group photo above.
Fair call Al E Vator, I wish them well, I hope they succeed but we have seen the "fresh new look and approach" before, so, you know, its hard to not be sceptical.
Very personal viewpoint on grooming and tattoos. As far as "every other industry" goes, every five star hotel I go to, every bank I go to, every public transport mode I use...all have smart dress uniform and grooming requirements.
This is your captain speaking...

Speak for yourself. Looking like an adult to perform an adult role shouldn’t be too much of chore.
So every other industry has grooming wrong?
I'm not saying go to work looking like a hobo, but perhaps the grooming standard at which the airline industry holds itself to is outdated and restrictive. It's time for an update.

Uniform
I wonder if they actually tested any of this.
That dress is going to go full Marilyn the second there's a hunt of wind, not to mention snag on every armrest as they walk the aisle. The long vest thing will also get caught. White sneakers and tshirts sound fun in theory until they go that lovely grey shade from being washed and tumble dried between min rest trips.
2nd lot of planes based in MEL, but not a proper coat or scarf in sight? Those crew will freeze, even on turnarounds
As for the pleated shorts, zoo keepers everywhere want their wardrobe back. They look flattering on NO ONE, not even a size 0 model
The only thing I remotely like is the lilac colour and the blazer jacket, bit it's reminding me a bit of Wataniya and we know how they went

If they are seriously spending money commissioning custom sneakers they have either got
a) pockets so deep that they should frighten every other competitor
or
b) No clue about what is going to happen to them.

Isn’t a uniform supposed to be uniform? In case of evac how can the pax be expected to recognise/differentiate crew from other pax?
Federal offence to not listen to a crew member, bit hard to listen when the workers look like the punters. Standards so lax you might as well “wear it your way” and come to work in what ever takes your fancy for the day.
Uniforms serve a primary function in allowing easy quick identification of a person.
I couldn’t care less about tattoos, hair length or whether a pilot wears a tie or not.
The relaxation in grooming standard is fine, doesn’t affect one’s ability to do a job well.
Personally I think they are on to the right idea just may have gone a little to far with it all
You can look professional and take pride in your job (and appearance) without wearing a tie and hat. I'd even argue that the discomfort of being trussed up like that for a 10 hour day on multiple sectors contributes to fatigue.
The grooming standards that companies like Rex place on their crew are ridiculous, especially with the way they treat their staff. Really, a regional airline flying to some of the hottest parts of the country in aircraft that have no air conditioning for while the aircraft is parked should have uniforms to reflect these conditions. You can still look professional in a well fitting polo shirt.
their launch timing couldn't be any worse if they tried. Government's lie about inflation has been exposed - and you can see the swift and rapid effect taking place on markets worldwide. Consumer sentiment and discretionary spending is about to evaporate, along with the bogan holiday market they're targeting.

Exactly. We are in the 21st century so don't need to carry the pompous fashion statements from our industry of the 1960s through to today. Maybe the airlines could bring the pay and conditions of this era through to today to match....

Clothes (uniforms) should be fit for purpose.
You can indeed look professional in a well fitting polo shirt.

Is that the image you wish to project?
Sorry boys, the job you want to do isn’t a casual resort worker’s gig. Even my daughter’s 20 something friends, when polled, said they want real pilots, not their douche bag friends let loose in a plane.
