In lieu of the uniform blazer, a pilot may choose a leather jacket from Perrone Leather Apparel Inc. or a jacket of equivalent quality designated by the Company. The Company will not provide leather jackets based upon an upgrade in position. The Company will provide a replacement for the leather jacket every 72 months. The company will provide the base style leather jacket, that is, no upgrades for leather type or linings, etc. Any cost above the cost of the base style shall be paid through payroll deductions. Pilots who have purchased the Perrone or equivalent leather jacket prior to reimbursement eligibility may submit an expense report (with receipt) at the pilot’s next 36-month anniversary. The pilot will be reimbursed at the cost of the base style leather jacket. The replacement date for another leather jacket will be 72 months from the date the pilot purchased the jacket (as indicated on the receipt).
