There's a bit of a scuffle going on at Delta right now between "big" (size 18 and over) flight attendants and the red Richard Tyler-designed flight attendant uniform. The background for this little tiff starts in 2004, when Richard Tyler was hired to make over the drab and traditionally gray uniforms for Delta. Tyler promised a classier -- and in some cases, sexier -- look for flight attendants, airport agents, and other workers. "I want them to look sexy and great, but you have to keep that classic look as well," Tyler told the Associated Press at the time. The uniforms debuted in 2006 with a range of outfits that included white blouses and navy dresses besides the infamous red dress. At the time, the collection was well received by the Delta employees. But fast forward to October 2008, when Delta acquired Northwest airlines, a union airline.
