Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) was formed by the Canadian National Railways. They launched their first flight on September 1, 1937, between Vancouver and Seattle. Throughout the next 25 years, TCA became Canada's national airline, and on January 1, 1965, TCA changed their name to Air Canada. This uniform badge was worn with the 6th uniform. In this uniform, the flight attendants transitioned between the airline being known as TCA to the airline becoming Air Canada. In addition, the pins worn on this particular uniform were the first issued as Air Canada. They were first introduced in the Europe and then in Canada. The charcoal green uniform's jacket has three large self covered button, it's semi-fitted with set-in sleeves, a V-neckline with tailored collar, A-line skirt with fake pockets in the side seams. The blouse has a jewel neckline and short sleeves, with a brooch-like Air Canada insignia affixed to the blouse at the neck.
