You get a full uniform set including leather jacket. You also get 1 flightbag (a few types to choose from), and 1 roller (24", 26", or a 34"). Uniforms get restocked yearly, suitcases 5 yr cycle.

The bus in SDF and the 757 SDF domestic have the most newhires, the Z is next, ONT 75, Mia 75, SDF MD11, then ANC MD11 and 74 being the most senior. I understand about 400 guys have bypassed upgrade. Our mandatory retirement percentages are pretty close to DAL over the next 15 yrs.
