Sneak Peek: Delta Air Lines Unveils New Uniform Prototypes

  • Delta Air Lines unveils new uniform prototypes after a lengthy design process with Gap Inc.
  • Uniforms feature Delta's branding elements, including the widget logo, navy blues, and red accents.
  • Jetstar also updates uniforms, symbolizing a new era for the airline alongside fleet expansion.

Delta Air Lines has unveiled the prototypes of the new uniforms for its employees after more than a year-and-a-half of design work.

First look at the new prototypes

Every so often, airlines update their uniforms and branding, and the process is complex. Earlier today, Delta Air Lines unveiled that for the past year-and-a-half, it has worked with GPS Apparel by Gap Inc. to design new uniforms for its several employee groups. Though the new prototypes were created with feedback from Delta flight attendants, airport customer service agents, and other groups, this is the first look that all employees are getting.

“Delta has tens of thousands of uniformed employees, all with different needs and preferences. That means any evolution of the uniform program will take time and deliberation to get right. We are committed to using this time to listen, learn and iterate as we work toward a new look – one that reflects and celebrates who we are as Delta.” - Ranjan Goswami, Senior Vice President of Customer Experience Design, Delta Air Lines

In 2022, Delta partnered with Gap, a well-known apparel company, to develop a new look for more than 70,000 front-line employees. Gap Inc. owns brands like Banana Republic, Athleta, Old Navy, and Gap itself and has more than 50 years of experience in the apparel market, making it a desired candidate for the job with Delta. Focusing on Delta's branding, the uniforms feature navy blues, rich burgundy, and bright red and white accents.

Color was not the only thing considered about the Delta heritage and brand when designing the uniform. The iconic widget logo, first introduced in 1959, is featured in subtle yet elegant manners throughout the different uniform pieces. According to Delta, the widget symbolizes its solid foundation while pointing upwards as a reminder always to keep climbing.

Though this is the first look at the new uniforms, it will be years before the final product is available and distributed to all the staff. In the meantime, wear testing will begin in the fall.

Recent uniform drops

Several airlines worldwide have unveiled new uniforms in recent years, with Jetstar being the latest to do so, dropping a new collection last month . The previous generation of the low-cost airline's uniform was worn for the past 20 years. The classic black and orange will be replaced with blue and a softer orange. Like Delta, Jetstar asked some of its staff for input in the new designs developed over the past year.

CEO Stephanie Tully said the new uniforms symbolize a new era for the airline, but that is just one piece of the refresh, if you will. Jetstar's 20th anniversary is in May, and the airline is investing in new planes, which will come with new cabins, and expanding its route network. Most recently, the Airbus A321neo joined Jetstar's fleet, and the airline is awaiting new Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which will have nearly double the amount of business class seats and WiFi.

Independent Travel to Moscow and St. Petersburg

My wife and I have traveled independently to many European countries and, after reading many of the comments in this forum, feel like we may be able to do so in Moscow and St. Petersburg as well, although we feel somewhat less comfortable than the other countries where we have traveled in Europe.

My biggest question is how much we will miss by visiting the main sites without a tour guide. In the other European countries we have visited on our own we have been comfortable and satisfied with the level of knowledge we have gained by studying and visiting on our own, although we believe a tour guide or tour company in any country would normally be able to provide greater insight than visiting a site on our own, but about in Moscow and St. Petersburg?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Unless you speak at least some Russian and read the alphabet it would be difficult without a guide. Very few signs in English especially in Moscow. Also not too many people speak English there.

I visited St Petersburg last Autumn for a protracted period , and did not find it anymore daunting than any other European city . As Ilja says , learning the Cyrillic alphabet is a big plus . I also found that it was fairly easy to grasp . It will , among other things , enable you to read signs with relative ease . I would answer the main part or your question ( about tour guides ) thus - I am not enamored of tour guides or tours. While I only use a tour under duress ( A sites rules prohibiting an independent visit - ie Glasgow School of Art , Municipal House in Prague , etc ) . Doing your own preparation and homework is the best way , in my opinion . My wife and I ventured through St Petersburg with nary a concern ,and made two day trips outside of the central district ( one was twenty five miles away , and no English speakers in sight ) Figuring out the logistical details , did not present any difficulties . While I never use tours , I am an inveterate eavesdropper , have done so many times , and find , that on balance , the information that they impart is fairly elementary . If you want greater detail , they are unlikely to supply it . I also prefer to go at my own pace , not being rushed and being able to dwell on things that most other visitors barely give a passing glance . If you are interested , let me know . I would be happy to provide you with information that will enable you to travel independently

Thank you, Steven. I am encouraged by your comments and feel the same way you do about tour groups. We are very much willing to prepare in advance and learn the basics of the Cyrillic alphabet to help us have a better experience.

I would be very interested in learning more about your experience in Russia and receiving any additional information you can provide on independent travel there, starting perhaps with obtaining the visa.

I am not opposed to hiring a private or small group guide for a specific site or for a day trip outside St Petersburg and Moscow, but, like you said, I much prefer the freedom of staying at places as long or short as I want and seeing the sites that interest me most. For example, neither my wife nor I are big into shopping, yet most tour itineraries leave afternoon time for just that. Not interested!

Please provide whatever you may feel would be helpful for us.

Russ , I see you are quite near San Francisco - you can start by looking at the VISA procedure , it's fairly straightforward . Since there is a consulate in San Francisco - look here http://www.consulrussia.org/eng/visa-sub1.html

And here - http://ils-usa.com/main.php

Having always traveled independently, we thought we could do a better job than any tour. How misguided (pun intended) we were. Now that we have had the experience of having someone native to the area walk us around and explain things through a personal perspective we realize how much we missed. For St. Petersburg I highly recommend http://www.peterswalk.com/tours.html . This is not a traditional guided tour, but an opportunity to receive some orientation to the area as well as insight into the "Russian soul". I think if you did this upon arrival the rest of your time would be much more meaningful. We really liked the http://www.pushka-inn.com . The location is superb (just around the corner from the Hermitage square), the rooms lovely, the included breakfast at the restaurant next door ample and overall an excellent value. We used this company to get our visa: https://www.passportvisasexpress.com/site/san_francisco_customer_service Note that it costs about the same for a 3-year visa as a one-year, and you never know if you might want to return within that more extended window of time. It is not cheap, so factor that into your planning.

If you like traveling without a guide in other countries and find this satisfying, the same will be true in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Of course it's not either/or - you can certainly take a guided walk or boat tour, for instance.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of learning Cyrillic if you're going on your own. The book I used was Teach Yourself Beginner's Russian Script, which was great. It breaks down the alphabet into letters that are the same as English, letters that look the same but are pronounced differently, etc. It's out of print, but you can get used copies on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Yourself-Beginners-Russian-Script/dp/0071419861/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1459701143&sr=8-2&keywords=teach+yourself+russian+script

Russia is indeed a bit more "foreign" than say, Italy. However, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, I found enough English to be able to get by. Many restaurants had English menus and/or English speaking staff, for instance. This was most emphatically not true in Vladimir and Suzdal (two cities in the Golden Ring outside Moscow). I went with my sister, a Russian speaker, and if she hadn't been there, I would have been in big trouble. So, if you want to see places outside these two big cities, use a guided tour (even if just for that part). Also, Moscow and St. Petersburg are huge cities. Coming from New York, I wasn't intimidated, but those not used to a megacity may not be so cavalier (even I found them overwhelming at times, especially Moscow).

I found both Lonely Planet and Rough Guide to be helpful, and both to have various errors. Look at both, buy whichever one has a more recent edition, and then be prepared to have to discard some of the advice therein. Also, these places change more quickly than places in Western Europe. Be very careful of outdated advice. For instance, I was there in 2001 and 2010, so I won't give you any specifics on getting a visa - that changes constantly.

Just as a teaser, two things I saw and loved that I doubt would be included in any escorted tour are the Gorky House in Moscow (an Art Nouveau wonder) and the Sheremyetov Palace in St. Petersburg (it's now a museum of musical instruments, and the decor is amazing, particularly in the Etruscan Room).

Thanks for all the good advice. Any additional thoughts are welcomed.

One of history's seminal works pertaining to Russian history and culture and a MUST for anyone contemplating a visit or simply interested , is this fine work from 1980 - http://www.amazon.com/Land-Firebird-The-Beauty-Russia/dp/096441841X

This is about you and not about Petersburg. Do you like guided tours? We don't and didn't find that a guide added to our experience in China where we did hire private guides mostly for the logistics; it was easy to have someone drive us places. But once at a site, we didn't need the guide. I felt the same way about our 9 nights in Petersburg. We did hire a guide for the trip to the Catherine Palace again for the ease of logistics for us Olds. Here is our visit: https://janettravels.wordpress.com/2016/01/23/an-easy-trip-to-the-catherine-palace/ There are also snapshots of the Church on Spilled Blood in this photo journal. Having someone pick us up at the apartment and get us in without line ups and shepherd us through the palace steering clear of the tour groups was lovely. But we didn't need commentary because we can read and prepare.

You certainly don't need a guide for the Hermitage (we spent 4 days there), the Russian Museum, the Kazan Cathedral or Church on Spilled Blood or the Faberge Museum. We enjoyed a number of self guided walking tours including a couple from Rick Steves guidebooks. We took the canal cruise suggested by RS that had an English commentator. I would not take one without that as you will be totally clueless. The commentator was not all that good but at least we had some idea what we were seeing. So for people like us who like to do our own thing and can read a guidebook and don't particularly like to be led about, a tour is not needed. If you enjoy tour groups, then go for it. Petersburg is easy to negotiate. It helps if you can read the cyrillic alphabet and it is also useful to have the google translate ap on your phone. We found ourselves translating packages in grocery stores with it and the occasional museum sign or menu. I have one food I need to avoid and so it was handy to have the translator to talk with waiters (I could either show them the sentence, or play it for them or play it to myself and then repeat it to the waiter -- that all worked well)

Dear Russ, I cannot help you with Moscow, but about four years ago, my husband and I went to St Petersburg on our own. But, we did use a private guide for 4 half days. We both feel that our guide absolutely made our trip (we stayed 6 or 7 nights). We used a company owned by Tatyana Chiurikova, www.tour-stpetersburg.com I cannot say enough good things about her and our experience. I emailed her and we worked out a schedule/ sights that was tailored to our interests. She also offered some recommendations, which we took. The guide will meet you at your hotel. And frequently, at certain places, with the guide, we were able to skip the long entrance lines. We had an half day driving tour of the city (car, driver, & guide). You are taken to & go in places such as Peter & Paul Fortress, some of the cathedrals, etc. We had a half day with the guide at the Hermitage which ensured that we would see the major sights there. And, of course, you can stay after your guide leaves or return another day. Also, we had the guide for Peterhof (a must & go by boat) and Catherine's Palace. I hope that you will go to the website. As I said, our guide made our trip. I am positive that we would have missed quite a bit on our own everyday. And I'm sure we would have wasted a lot of time trying to get to various place.This was the best of both worlds, a guide where needed and plenty of time on our own. Whatever you do, I'm sure that you will love St Petersburg! Ashley

I am curious about the lines as we encountered no lines on our trip -- but it was in September. We got tickets for the Hermitage at machines and skipped those lines and our guide for the Catherine Palace which was our only guided experience (as noted before, chosen for the logistics of getting there) had arranged tickets and we didn't have a line, but then we also didn't see lines. We did not find lines at any other site.

Both Moscow and St Petersburg I've done on my own, that is together with the Dear Partner. I can't remember any problem getting where we wanted to go. The Metro systems are well signed, and with a little exercise and patience you can recognize the station names. With a good map and a good guide - we had the Rough Guides - that part of the logistics is solved. The language is a major problem, but the usual tricks of pointing, looking helpless, and making a joke of it all do wonders. I would hate to be led by a guide, but for others it is a comfortable thought.

We also did both cities on our own. I found the DK Eyewitness guide for Moscow has the best map. I used the one from our library (kept the book at home). Took the smaller RS book for St. Petersburg ( his book on northern cities). His map and restaurant ideas were all good. We also downloaded the Google maps in our Android Samsung tablets/phones for both cities and then could get directions to any place we typed in. The blue ball guided us everywhere. I'm sure we missed somethings by not having a guide, but we just enjoy walking around and getting a sense of a place. If you like art, The Hermitage is great. We went 3 times and still missed alot. In St. Peterburg we stayed at the 3 Mosta which we loved (quite and not far from the Church of Spilled Blood.) We also loved the Georgian food in both cities. There's a great Georgian restaurant near the 3 Mosta hotel. We're now in Belarus- very scenic. Enjoy your trip!!

Jetstar flight from Melbourne to Bali forced to turn back

A Jetstar flight from Melbourne to Bali has been forced to land back in Australia after an unruly passenger onboard caused a ruckus.

‘Are you a spy?’: Shocking racist rant

A Jetstar flight from Melbourne to Bali has been forced to take a U-turn back to Australia after an unruly woman onboard launched an expletive-laden rant at passengers.

News.com.au understands the drama began three hours into the flight, with several passengers forced to intervene and the woman in question eventually being smacked in the face.

Jetstar flight JQ43 from Melbourne to Denpasar took off at 10.42am on Monday and got as far as Alice Springs before being forced to turn around, landing back in Victoria around 3pm.

Footage filmed by passengers shows the woman stood up and screaming in one man’s face, with worried cabin crew stood behind her.

“You don’t understand what the f*** is going, you do not understand any of this...” she screamed.

Another woman then approaches and tries to pull her away, grabbing her by the face.

“So do not come at me, keep your f****** shut”, the woman continues.

One passenger, Melanie, said the woman began screaming and eventually had to be restrained.

“I think some kids onboard were a bit scared,” she told 3AW.

“The pilot said they had made the decision to turn back to Melbourne.”

Another passenger described the woman as the “passenger from hell”.

“(She was) verbally Abusing everyone in her path! Even shoving a fellow passenger holding a baby,” the person wrote on social media.

A Jetstar flight from Melbourne to Bali has been forced to take a U-turn back to Australia after an unruly passenger onboard caused a ruckus.

“So we were turned around three hours into the flight while she was restrained by passengers and crew in the back. All the poor little kids had to listen to this for five hours. Why they didn’t land and drop her in Darwin or Alive Springs, I have no idea.”

The flight has now been rescheduled to tomorrow.

“A woman went loopy and banged on the cockpit door because she thought someone stole her phone,” one passenger wrote on Facebook.

Jetstar apologised to passengers for the inconvenience.

“The Captain decided to return to Melbourne to get assistance from the Australian Federal Police after a passenger became disruptive just under two hours into the flight,” the airline said in a statement provided to news.com.au.

The flight had taken off at 10am only to arrive back in Melbourne at 3pm.

“We know this was a difficult experience for other customers and our team members, and we thank those who assisted with the situation.

“Due to the circumstances, several crew members were unable to continue flying and the flight has been rescheduled for 10am tomorrow.

“We will provide accommodation overnight to any customers who need it and cover other reasonable expenses including meals.

The safety of our customers and crew is our priority.”

A Qantas passenger who uploaded a photo of their meal has left online users scratching their heads over what exactly it is.

A commuter has slammed a major “flaw” at a Sydney train station, calling out the “dumb” design.

A tourist has shared the moment he was subjected to a spray of racist abuse while travelling through Western Australia.

  13. Upgrade priority: Qantas staff or Platinum One?

    Tuesday, 03 Oct 2017, 04:56:10 pm. 'Must-ride' or confirmed duty/positioning crew have priority over customers with QF FF points. Staff travelling for leisure have no priority over revenue passengers and will only get a'bum-on-seat' in Y-class if there is a spare seat after everyone else.

  15. Upgrade priority: Qantas staff or Platinum One?

    Tuesday, 03 Oct 2017, 03:33:10 pm. As someone that flies staff travel, I can confirm that staff are only allocated seating at check-in AFTER Qantas has processed upgrade requests from bronze FF. Frequently, there will appear to be enough premium seats available only for them all to disappear 24 hours before the flight.
