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?

I'm not even AA WO and their uniforms gave me diabetes.

I guess that's better than cancer

The problem is that some of the people are allergic to the material in the uniforms. But instead of a simple fix, AA and TwinHills are making them jump through hoops to prove it and it is taking a very long time to exchange the uniforms.

That escalated quickly.

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

First born son is acceptable payment

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.
