There is no uniform stipend for new hires, correct?

So a newb will have to pony up about $250(?) for the double breasted horse blanket and $50 for the hat. I assume they've already got black pants and shoes, the white shirts are all over the map, but I got 4 at $16/each a few years back from PilotPete. Then there's the suitcase, which if you're coming off active duty you may not have.

I just looked at PilotPete's website, the Purdyneets are now $289-359 depending on which model you get! Yeeoch!

The shirts are now $18.95.

Bring your wallet boys, this "airline pilot" thing is expensive!

Glad I bought all my crap in the 1980s'...and it still fits! Well...mostly.
