Uniforms
 
What is the policy for wearing hats and jackets? I don’t work for a major pax airline but it seems that mainline American is the only wide body airline that looks super generic. I understand the silver Epaulets are an AAL standard but that along with no jacket or hat just seems inferior to the others. Why don’t you wear it?

Lol idk man being able to wear the blazer without a hat is a way better look anyways. I think AA is the only of the 3 that doesn’t require the hat with the blazer, which I envy.

I wish we had that problem at DL but unfortunately we’re required to walk around on airport property looking like clowns wearing bucket hats even without the blazer. My favorite are the guys with oversized hats and blazers that haven’t been tailored. We seriously look like f*cking idiots but as long as the paycheck keeps on coming I’ll comply.

I’m guessing lots of people will take the bait, and this goes 5 pages minimum.

some wrong info there.

We’re required blazers from October 1st-May 1st I believe. Unless traveling to tropical locations. WB international is required Blazer at all times.

Hats are optional, thank goodness.

Wearing your hat indoors unless you are an emergency worker is rude and tacky. You want to look like a square you can do that at American as with any other airline. Hat's and your cute little coat in the summer time is authorized.

I don’t frequent American hubs but I have recently. Thanks for answering the question. Required on WB international makes sense. I almost never see the hat, though.

I wear my coat 90% the time just because I get cold easily. The hat once in a while if I feel inclined to, it is great to have the option to wear it or not, thank god it's not a requirement.

Are uniforms provided, or do we have to buy them ourselves?
