Could APA have recommended a better uniform vendor out of the vendors who bid? Sure. Could we have gone with something besides a rebranded US Airways uniform as a hasty replacement? Yup. Could we have avoided all of this nonsense in the first place if AAG management had handled the new merged airline/Twin Hill uniform roll-out better? Of course. However, does nonstop griping from this pilot group accomplish anything?
We're professionals; use a tape measure, follow M&H sizing guidance, get the pieces exchanged if necessary, and go see a daggone tailor. (You should've seen the trash Class A that I got issued as a new PFC: poor material, bad fit, and bad Ft. Sill tailoring. Got it fixed by a tailor off post and drove on.) Until we switch vendors again, we work with what we've got; if we want to be treated as professionals come contract time, then we need to act the part.
We may be professionals but we certainly don’t look like it wearing the M&H garbage. Best solution is to just go buy pants that match the M&H...extremely easy to find a reputable company that can match the exact color as M&H.
