and/or why most companies now require you to get reimbursed instead of just giving you the cash. They know pilots will waste it on other stuff and show up to work with pit stained shirts and threadbare pants and ties.
We’re pilots, not bankers or lawyers. Our jobs aren’t always the cleanest. I’m not a slob with food stains on his shirt. I own 2 shirts, one of them has some grease from doing a walk around and having to get up close to the gear. You’re damn right I’m not buying another shirt when that one is still perfect.
