WN musings

Well, I had to go to MHT today to drop off Adina and Yael for a WN flight. Now, I have a lot of respect for WN. They are profitable, basically run on time, have a great cancellation (refund) policy, pretty good coach seating (pitch), and no fees for unaccompanied minors (UM's). Of course, they also have a few drawbacks. No First Class, no Elite program, no assigned seats, no Elite Security --- and basically, nothing Elitist at all. I can deal with that, but golly, these folks also have absolutely no style. Point in fact, the current WN uniform.

Even worse, all the employees at the airport basically wear a similar shorts and sneaker outfit.

I just don't know, there is something so unprofessional about it. And, lets face it, a lot of folks (especially those that are a bit overweight) just don't look real good in shorts. Anyway, it got me thinking.... the WN of yesteryear was pretty progressive with their outfits.

In the 1970's the uniforms were rock'in (for lack of a better term).

I can't help but think, WN just needs to get a bit of style going on. Now, Delta, they got it right. Maybe that is why I'm just feeling the Delta love lately. Good drinks (love those Mojitos !) and sexy new uniforms.

The Delta Boston Terminal A is also... S.E.X.Y. -- it has great vibe and style (especially the really nice Crowns rooms). Heck, even the older Delta uniforms weren't that bad...

It was revealed that the new Delta uniforms cost $1,000 per employee, or $20 million in total. "Richard Tyler, a designer based in Los Angeles, created the uniforms and they look pretty snazzy; glamorous but functional, especially compared to the drab grey coats of Delta last generation uniforms. We're not sure if they can go toe to toe with Christian Lacroix's new Air France uniforms, but to afford him, Delta would have likely had to reenter bankruptcy."

So, along with ratings on food, seats and service --- I think we should have an official "SEXY" airline rating chart. I like the new Delta.... it has style, good drinks and an evening nonstop from BOS-LAS ! Now, if they would just bring back real glassware in domestic First Class --- life would be totally peachy !
