Clothes do not make a professional, they make an impression. If you need to make an impression to those looking for the cheapest seat, feel free.
Your peers have their uniforms paid for, so should we. Enough with the it's better than my regional, this is the most money I've ever made, mentality. It's this attitude that gave us an industry bottom contract.
Good day
I agree with your last couple sentences but you’re off on this. Wear the approved uniform and wear it well. Don’t want to pay for the Karbon that’s fine. Wear the blazer or the leather which are paid for. Don’t do your own thing just because you feel like it.
Btw United doesn’t pay for uniforms but they do pay for all dry cleaning
