On the new uniform ordering website, it states that AA will be providing the initial allotment of Uniforms free of charge.

"Will I have to pay for my uniform during my appointment?
During the initial rollout, the company is providing the uniforms at no cost to the employee. All employees will receive the full allotment
contained in their respective collective bargaining agreements. "

Also, it says all employees WILL be in the new uniform starting september 2016. if they want us all to comply, they better be free, otherwise I'd be using my full year allotted to me in the CBA....


Also, when you go to order online, it states you must select a certain amount of the allotment to order. Excuse me? if I'm paying, I'll order what I want.

Sounds like someone ( The CP office in general), isn't getting the correct information, and the company is trying to steal from its employees, again.

Maybe the company is being upfront with the flight attendants because their new uniforms are free and they're being shady with the pilots because they are secretly not free?

During new hire classes and town hall meetings, pilots asked company president about the cost of new uniforms and he dodged the question every single time and apparently sounded ****ed off that he had to answer the question.

Also, does anyone know if hats will be required?

If you log in to the twin hill website, it says our uniforms are free. I have a screen shot of it.

I'm aware of that, could it be directed towards the 15,000 American mainline pilots and not the 1,200 PSA pilots?

The uniform vendor claims their free and management apparently says otherwise.

I thought it says in our contract that if we get new uniforms it comes out of our uniform balance?

it does, but, AA ( PSA's parent company) has said they are giving all employees new uniforms free of charge.

I was told by a PSA pilot that the only real reason you should come here is if you want to work for AA. He said if you want to go to any other major, there is a greater chance they won't pick you because they think you're too impatient to not wait for the flow to AA. Is this true?
