They weren’t even dress pants. Pretty much faded blue jeans. Also you have the option to pay roll deduct any uniform item at a manageable rate.
You can’t tell me someone can’t afford to payroll deduct 2 pairs of pants. They could even use their old pilot shirts. So really all a new hire needs to spend to look halfway professional is a whole 130 bucks which can be payroll deducted. When our pilots look like a joke in public it’s hard to turn around the perception of our airline being a joke.
