The advice to go up one jacket size is spot on. Everything else was the same for me except for the belt. I think I went down two sizes on it.

Guarantee you that you were one of the ones who got the CCS links, the postcard, and blew that **** off. Now you want to whine about how it's impossible to get sized.
I scheduled mine as soon as I got the email. Then they cancelled it because they had to shift the days. And there are no appts available. Not as in taken, just not available.

Clearly you’re right, and the thousands of other pilots with different experiences are wrong. Maybe one day we can all aspire to be such a kick ass mgmt troll.


For the rest of us that can’t get to one of these stupid events or refuses to work in their day off for free… order what you think is appropriate, expense the tailoring charges, and if it can’t be altered send it back and exchange it. If it’s not ready on day 1, so be it.

Tapered and non tapered pants, the only difference I could tell was non tapered had no elastic waist. Very similar to current pants. I went with tapered and added 1 inch on the waist.

The new coat item is very bulky I tried on a medium but never unzipped the liner out of it. The sleeves were the right length but the jacket was super heavy. I’d never carry that thing around. Definitely cannot wear it in the terminal like a leather jacket. The sweater item was okay I guess. Looks kinda dumb. Also would never wear it. Shirts are extremely thin. If you aren’t running better shirts, ACA, etc. you are missing out. Basically all that matters is jacket and pants. Hat is the same company that makes our hat now which is the lowest quality hat I’ve seen…
I went with the tailored pants and shirts… the classic fit was way too baggy on the flat front pants and mid-section of the shirt. I found the sizing to be accurate for a suit… only item I though sizing off was the 3-1 tech jacket… it was way too big and bulky… I removed the liner and purchased one size down.

Or maybe the 1000's of us that were able to get in and do it are right. This wasnt hard to do.... Scheduled it before a trip and it was done in an hour. So because you took your sweet ass time complaining about it you ran out of time. The company DID screw up in not having enough fittings (per the CCS message) but puffing out your chest and whining didnt help you.

"Can't get to it"...hahahahahahhahaha. You have and will have plenty of time to get to one of these, you just choose not to. You do this because you're lazy, entitled and love to complain.

You'll be the same type of guy who pulls open his pay register to show a new hire how much money you make, or show a picture of your new boat.

Trust me, we fly with plenty of people like you, and the day you retire is the day the airline gets just a little bit better. You will not be missed, I assure you.

Not my job to fix their problems or donate my time. Especially when their fittings only go from 0900-1600, and all of our pairings report either before 0930 or after 2200. Better yet the day I could do it, they were f’ing closed, on a weekday. If you think we should have to go do that crap after a 12-15 hour flight home… well I guess you’re just that level 5 professional some of us will never attain.

Took me 15 minutes in IAD to do the fitting. If the real concern is not getting compensated then simply order your normal suit size and let er rip.

Lol so much boomer hate in the thread but I tried pretty early in August to get a spot and they were sold out through September. I think you may have been.."lucky" as the numbers the union sent out regarding total allotted spots resembles life boats on the Titanic, and we all know how that turned out.

Not a boomer but seeing a lot of boomer like comments getting pretty excited about having been able to attend a fitting. Which at this point is basically the same as bragging about winning the special Olympics.

What have I become, I'm in here defending the boomers.
