I would just like to get a HIGH QUALITY fitted uniform. Instead of buying a hat for everyone, why not just hire a few tailors to tailor make our uniforms with good quality material and workmanship. That m&h outfit sucks. The shirts have so much excess fabric around the waist it feels like maternity cloths and the pants are way over priced and ride up on you like Steve Urkel.

I questioned them about this one time, and they explained too many pilots had complained about the shirts being too tight around the mid-section, so they make them huge on purpose. Sounds like the vocal minority need to hit the treadmill, and ease up on the burgers. I do agree though, M&H is definitely the cheapest bidder.

I got the cut above slim fit/athletic shirt and it's perfect.

Sounds like USAPA did that survey to feel important. They weren't asked to do it....

I agree. I seriously doubt the company cares at all what USAPA thinks about the uniform or anything else. I've heard the uniform decisions have been made for a while. Current AA blue. No leather jackets.(thank God)

Plus the overcoat looks SO dated and fades so quickly with time.
