While we've increasingly seen flight attendant uniforms look like typical operating room attire, Philippine Airlines has just taken it to a new level. Philippine Airlines has just unveiled new protective gear uniforms, designed by Edwin Tan, a Filipino couturier. Obviously the primary focus is that the uniforms have the fit and function that crews need…

Imagine all the disgruntled, morbidly obese US3 FAs wearing PPEs while yelling at their customers
This was bound to happen. And quite frankly, I think it's great. It normalises protective gear.
It reminds of when Vogmask started becoming popular several years back. I've owned a few for pollution and allergen purposes. They have limitations. But the thing with designing protective gear like this is to look less medicalised. To that effect, they look less threatening. Less apocalyptic.
The major downfall, though, is that counterfeit becomes much easier.
Now, if only we could get better supplies to the rest of the people who need it (*ahem* nurses)
This is awesome!!! They look like medical personnel. I recall reading years ago that the first flight attendants were actually trained nurses.
Can't wait to see the iconic Singapore Airlines gilrs in the full, head-to-toe hazmat spacesuits.
@Endre you’re probably obese in asian ratings. So unless you’re asian, shed some weight fatso!
No they really look like the airline is seriously contaminated. Bad Idea. Just plain dumb. Those uniforms looks to say.
Welcome, to Philippines Airlines its our pleasure to serve our contaminated passengers.
Dumb just plain dumb.
i hope they operate also manila to davao... supposedly my flight is april 20 one way only...
@John that’s the other Endre you are referring to (the one with the profile pic, I think).
@Jkjkjk my BMI is 21.6, I’m perfectly fine, how’s yours? You still need two scales?
Nice. Let say your PPE is inadequate and you really want to take the flight. Are they going to sell you these covering ?
good evening when u open flight in saudi to Philippines because my flight is may thank you I hope they operate because I want to go home thank u
I feel like USA is the 3rd world country. We fly detainees out of the country and we have been doing it with no protection some fa, ICE agents, guards have gotten sick. Finally got the fake knockoff KN95 mask and cheap face shields. But the people in Guatemala and Haunduras and other countries have head to toe protected when they take their detainees of the plane. Corporation's in US still only care about their bottom line. No businesses have cared about essential workers who have underlying health condition and may die from contracting Covid 19. Now the lobbyist have a bill to protect companies from getting sued if essential workers die. Instead of letting at risk for death essential workers stay home and collect unemployment. They make them work. You can quit to stay alive but you can't get unemployment. I feel like it's a death sentance.
Where can i buy a complete set of those flight PPEs so my wife and i can use them when we travel gain in the philippines the in the future, so i dont contract cupit19 that is prevalent in the country.
The accent looks like the flag of Romania. Should have made it plain white instead if you didn’t have time for print or embroider of Philippines or PAL logo. Besides, this is crisis and pandemic. Not a good time for show off of fashion thing and the like.
