It would be a fun exercise getting the Villa Modas and the Al Othmans to commission Mideastern designers to work on their uniforms for a change. Looking at the pictures so much appears to have changed at KU - I am not entirely sure KU is the same airline I used to know back in the 70s and 80s. On crew layovers, I definitely think it's a wise management decision to cut down on hotel bills and to fly the crew back on short haul routes. If anything, they have become more corporate in their approach. The one major grudge I hold against KU even from back in its heyday till now is a near total absence of diversity in the composition of its in-flight crew and that I am afraid is bringing service standards down.

There was no difference between the blue and pink uniform you could choose which ever you prefered. Not sure if I knew your mum as I joined in the 80's I won't ask her name on here. They were certainly the good old days some flights had only 8 economy passengers and then the crew would stay for a week in Athens, 9 days in Bangkok, 9 days in NYC, 4 days at Jebel Ali Hotel in Dubai, a week in Malaga, 4 days in Bombay. It was a holiday LOL! The crew had a great time. Now it's pretty yuk! I gave up a long time ago. Now the crew are all miserable due to poor management and bad work conditions, it's sad.
