Default Uniforms

Has anyone ever had luck dyeing better quality white shirts to match the blue uniforms? Something like cut above? The shirts I have are pretty poor quality.

That seems like an extra step vs just ordering blue shirts from A Cut Above...

Better yet, has anyone at B6 talked about ditching the blue shirts in favor of white with the merger? How's the overall pilot group feel about getting rid of blue shirts?

Yes pretty much every pilot is in favor of ditching these stupid blue shirts in favor of white. HPI as a company is an overall disgrace to deal with.

Even more important, we NEED the Spirit winter coat, the Carbon Jacket. Our jacket SUCKS.

The composition of the uniform is not included in the contract, to my knowledge; it's likely a "business decision". Could they use some negotiating capital to get us specific uniform items called out in the contract? Probably. Is it worth it? Probably not.

That said, why would they ever take away the leather jacket? I'd like a nice, warm jacket I could wear in uniform or on overnights. But here we are.

Carbon jacket, even better. Much better. Don't look like a cowboy or an open cockpit wannabe.

Just put it on the table - white shirts. I can’t see them stopping a JCBA over it and if they tried to put a price on it a mediator would laugh them out of the room.

Or either - for those that like their leather jackets.
