I hope y'all are as worked up about scope during the next contract as you are uniforms.

Remember the plastic shirts. Those were “high tech”. Guys went out on bought their own. I just wore the old shirt

That is the model.

Let’s all fix it! Ha ha ha ha ha!

You just don’t understand that is great leadership and management in their minds.

This issue has been going on for well over a decade.

When are the rain coats arriving! They said they were at the same time “allowing” us to bring our own.

What was the real solution?

Except the domestic narrowbody hole!

“Pennies on the dollar” is our protection

Guys, don’t forget that if you forget to wear your jacket in the terminal there could be consequences that have a long term effect on your career.

Yup. Almost verbatim.
Although, it said “intentional”. So forgetting to wear your jacket might be a stretch.

I’ll refresh the shirts this year. Tailoring cost me $15/shirt and the pants were $12 each. I had the shirts taken in and the sleeves hemmed, and the pants were hemmed only. One of my ties is indestructible and the other pattern falls apart after one use. I stopped wearing that pattern. The suiting jacket is in fine shape, the overcoat has hardly been worn, and the sweater is junk. However, it’s my favorite to wear due to its warmth so I deal with it.

I don’t get the *****ing about tailoring. The uniform allowance is plenty to cover it. If it isn’t, you should find a different tailor or accept that you want to spend more on “premium” tailoring. I’m sure an RSA will cover your next 5 years of tailoring.

The uniforms are the least of our problems. We should fix them if we can, but spend very little effort on it compared to the rest of our issues.
