It could be because of the union drive, it could be a feeling of guilt...who knows.

As someone who is not in the B&W but as someone that has seen the severe reactions I would suggest you simply stay in your lane and worry about what you're wearing. You wouldn't want your daughter, mother, sister etc dealing with what our colleagues are going thru.

Many of our colleagues are having serious reactions to the chemicals in the uniforms and are also having self esteem issues because of what they're going thru. A suggestion I make to you and every other pilot is this: Every time you see a flight attendant in B&W compliment them on how great they look with the B&W. I don't care if you think they look frumpy or what...they can really use the self esteem boost.

It's bad enough we have to deal with passengers making ignorant comments, we really don't need our own coworkers questioning what is going on.
