Uniform donation for new hires
 

Since new hires don't get a uniform allowance, is there a program in place to donate extra pieces that come with my allowance? Specifically, I was thinking of ordering FO epaulets and FO metal wings instead of CA and donating them to a new hire, since I don't need yet another set. I'd also like to contribute maybe 2 of my 8 shirts or so. Can I drop these in the crew room? Base administrators office?

I'll wait a day for an answer before ordering more crap I don't need and cluttering up my closet.

New hires do get an allowance… just not a jacket.

Send a DART to the mentor program for the new hires.

I don't think that's correct. Mine was payroll deducted.

Yes it’s payroll deducted.

they give epaulettes and wings at your Checkride

or read the CBA.
5-F-2 Pilots will purchase their initial uniform.
5-F-3 The Company will provide uniform replacements from the
Vendor for eight shirts, two pants, and two ties every 18 months
due to normal wear and tear.

Mine never got deducted and showed an allowance
