Période

This uniform component worn by donor c. 2000-2005. This uniform style in use 1996- 2005.

Canada

Example of a flight attendant uniform worn by an employee of Air Canada, Canada’s national airline since the mid-twentieth century. Air Canada was originally called Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) and was formed by the Canadian National Railways. The company launched its first flight on September 1, 1937, between Vancouver and Seattle. On January 1, 1965, its name was changed to Air Canada. Air Canada was privatized in 1988. This uniform was introduced in early 1996. Its "blue spruce" colour was an intentional departure from the previous two Air Canada uniforms, which used navy blue as the base colour. The colour change was supposed to help create a new identity for the airline, which was privatized in 1988, but which people still perceived as being government owned. The identity revolved around professionalism and customer service. The basic components of this uniform for women were jacket and choice of pants, dress, or skirt together with blouse (available in long or short sleeve versions) and brevet. This uniform 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]

Fonction

To identify the wearer as an Air Canada flight attendant.

Technique

Sweater made from blend of 70% PIL-TROL low piling acrylic and 30% wool. Air Canada published "Grooming Standards" specified the Cardigan Sweater "May be worn under jacket for extra warmth". [Ref. 3, p. 29]
