I cannot fathom how someone thinks the company will make us a better fitting, higher quality uniform, that looks like we want it to, without our input. Have you seen our crew meals? These are the people who stole our pensions! yuck.
I’ll Bold you right back ;-). So ALPA was deeply involved and we get a circus suit. Did you think that outfit they were testing was higher quality and better fitting, can’t say I saw that represented in that costume.
Personally I am okay with lowest bidder aka M&H uniforms. Maybe it’s just me but I would rather have a bigger pay rate or PS check versus a Mercedes of uniforms. Which brings me to your meals complaint. Ask a DL guy what meals they get. You know that airline that gets those much larger PS checks than we do. The answer you get might surprise you.
As for our retirement I think the 16% B fund has put me in a better financial position for retirement than the previous A and B fund layout. Also didn’t we give our defined pensions away in a vote?
