Period

This uniform component was worn by donor during period 2000- 2005. This uniform style in use 1996- 2005.

Canada

In previous uniform issues, passenger agents wore different uniforms than in flight service agents. With this uniform issue, ground staff such as passenger agents wear the same uniform as in-flight service agents. The only difference is the shape of the brevet: Ground [crew] and Management pins were similar yet distinctive. This pin was received fastened to the top edge of the right front breast pocket on .1 jacket. In company literature, it is also shown worn on the upper right of dress, blouse and vest uniform components. [Ref. 3] This uniform component belonged to Melanie Lariviere, who was hired as a flight attendant in Montreal on September 18, 2000. After completing the initial training course in November, she moved to Toronto, where she was still based at the time of this donation. [Ref. 1]
