No one outside the company knows the uniform situation at JB. I don't know the uniform situation at Delta, AA, etc, but when I see one of their pilots clearly lacking any self-respect looking sloppy with an ill-fitting uniform I am embarrassed for them and for the profession.
JB isn't a regional airline. Having a regional airline mentality doesn't bode well for contract gains in the future.

This is a funny post. By chance do you have a pair of pants laying around I can have? HPI doesn’t. Hasn’t for over two years.

Yes, and no… mostly no. What is our uniform allowance, $200? So you purchase two shirts and two pants per year at what $35(2) + $49(2) = $168. Then tailor each at a conservative $20 per. You’re already over $200, not including ties, epaulettes… etc. Oh and our uniform pants are dry-clean only.. hmm.
I agree on the aspect of a sloppy looking pilot, looks embarrassing and unprofessional. Yet our company has chosen not to give us properly fitting, lasting, professional looking uniforms. If the company is trying to save costs, why are we still paying more money for lessor quality uniforms? Anyone ever seen the quality and fit of A-Cut-Above? Literally years ahead of HPI and at a lower cost. Hands down, we are the least professional “looking” pilots out there. Once a month, customers think I am a TSA agent, or are confused I’m even a pilot since no one wears blue for a pilot uniform shirt.
