Default New uniforms at AA WO problems?

Saw something in the news about AA uniforms causing rashes and allergic reactions. It seemed like it was mostly FA that had issues but curious if any pilots had problems?

Do the WO's provide the uniforms or do you pay for them out of pocket?

The uniforms at Envoy Air make me physically sick. When I see a crew with these outfits on in the terminal, it reminds me of:

4 on 2 off
4am pre assigned RAPs
Big time bonuses for the new hires with a paycut in year 2, 3, 4, etc.
Lost overnights in GSO
Awful reserve rules
Horrible treatment by crew scheduling
Multiple reserve turn backs after the contract says only one is allowed
Horrible and punitive treatment by management
Constant junior man assignments, read, your life doesn't belong to you

When I see Envoy crews, they look beat up, downtrodden, bags under their eyes and ready to give up. All of this for the hope of.....flowing.

I had a FA that had to go to the ER ... her allergic reaction was from the jaw down...
I used to joke about it. Not any more...

First year at PSA the pilot gets uniform cost taken from their paycheck. Each subsequent year they get a $400 uniform allowance that accumulates years after year. Pays for everything but the wrist watch.

For us that were already on property, they were provided free.

There is nothing wrong with the uniforms that I have seen. The shirts are junk (seriously...new hires...DO NOT BUY THE SHIRTS THROUGH THE COMPANY!). They are thin and not made well. Even the $15 Van Heusen's are much better. ACutAbove are great.

But the rest of it is fine. Cheaply made in foreign countries, as you would expect, but no major issues.
