Stunning new uniforms have been designed for Qantas pilots. As from next week, the average dashing airline captain will be decked out in this uplifting clobber,which cleverly captures the current spirit of Australia, especially the future of the nation’s workforce , should voters fall for the squadron of biscuit bombers planning to napalm the wide brown land . The handsome pilot symbolises the rugged Aussie image of a swaggie about to do 40 laps of an outback billabong, humming Waltzing Matilda and Help! , chased by arbitration traps, baying dogs, crocodiles . Each pilot will have a spare boot from the exclusive Tempe Tip Footrot Flats range with which to kick tyres before take off. Red ties are out as the pilot will need several knotted together to keep his trousers up . This flattering publicity shot was taken at the well kept Longreach runway – the historic Qantas launching pad. It shows a happy looking senior pilot with fashionable onion bags slung over his shoulders. Accessories include a blackened billycan and an empty Sunshine powdered milk tin - passed around as a spew bucket during bumpy flights – which adds to the outback ambience . The snazzy uniform - approved by Qantas board member, Biggles, who loops- the -loop on Viagra each leap year -has been designed by the highly paid fashion house , Bog Buddies of Ballykissangel.
