The last 747-400 passenger plane rolled off the production line in 2005. This is either going to be a maintenance issue or the engine ingesting debris or a bird, not faulty construction.

The earlier gray version of these uniforms reminded me of the so-called bellhop uniforms from the B5 follow-up Crusade. (The episodes that were filmed first but aired later.) I wasn’t a fan of them then, and they didn’t grow on me.
