Do I want to fly for FEDEX or the majors? You bet! But man this easy life is hard to beat.

When are they ordered, from what company and how are they paid for?
What does is the cost for the basic uniform requirements and the jacket?

Per your question, the company is Twin Hill, part of the Men's Wearhouse mass of companies.
Company doesn't pay for leather jacket, you're correct.

That said, most guys on the line haven't had to order their re-up supplies yet (and 98% of current pilots would have gotten the whole initial issue as a no-cost replacement as they already had old ones in hand), so there's not much data out there as of yet to base my cost-complaint theory off of.

Any requirements for shoes? Just basic black?
How much is the leather? Is it required?
Thanks

Are there any less expensive options for actually staying warm and dry that might use hide of polyesters?

Bottom line is, Envoy is where you want to be if you want a long career at the largest, most stable major airline in the world. When looking at the history of regional carriers, Envoy quite possibly could be the best as it stands at present.
