As far as a dry cleaning allowance like United’s, that would be A win! I really think that would improve the overall look of the entire pilot group. I wear the required uniform pants when I have the jacket on, and get it dry cleaned frequently, but in the summer it’s kohl’s for me and the wash machine with an occasional dry cleaning to get some extra starch on the pants. If we got reimbursed, I would stick with the authorized pants and go all dry cleaning all the time. I think many would follow suit. I don’t really care about the hat much either way..but it does up our professional look in my opinion.
