I did take my M&H uniform to a tailor. Still fits like trash. It’s so bad, I don’t even he knows what to do with it.

I’ve moved on from *****ing about the uniform... until someone says “just take it to a tailor”.

Could APA have recommended a better uniform vendor out of the vendors who bid? Sure. Could we have gone with something besides a rebranded US Airways uniform as a hasty replacement? Yup. Could we have avoided all of this nonsense in the first place if AAG management had handled the new merged airline/Twin Hill uniform roll-out better? Of course. However, does nonstop griping from this pilot group accomplish anything?



We're professionals; use a tape measure, follow M&H sizing guidance, get the pieces exchanged if necessary, and go see a daggone tailor. (You should've seen the trash Class A that I got issued as a new PFC: poor material, bad fit, and bad Ft. Sill tailoring. Got it fixed by a tailor off post and drove on.) Until we switch vendors again, we work with what we've got; if we want to be treated as professionals come contract time, then we need to act the part.


We may be professionals but we certainly don’t look like it wearing the M&H garbage. Best solution is to just go buy pants that match the M&H...extremely easy to find a reputable company that can match the exact color as M&H.

^^^^ this. We certainly don’t look professional in these uniforms. I’ve had my pants tailored, fit OK, itch my legs and crotch like fire! Shirts are really baggy, jackets are cheap and I’ve already lost two buttons (only been wearing it for 8 days).

Rest assured, M&H is owned by lands end, which is owned by sears whom is going bankrupt, bet we don’t have this supplier for long.

I say we switch to “A Cut Above”

I noticed that a cut above pants are 8 dollars cheaper than MH, and the shirts are two dollars more at least for men.

Are cut above shirts manufactured in the US?

I have a MV day coming up... If I picked up OT on the last day of the contractual month, and it's dropped due to the MV day, how does pay work?

Roger that... Just talks about cancelations and reassignments... This is unique to that. You can't legally work on a MV day. So are you suggesting just 100% pay?

A Cut Above is the way to go. I own several of their shirts and they are top notch quality and very good fitting. I dont have any skin issues with them and the collar has extra padding around the neck line for comfort/sweat protection.

Spend the money and get them, plus the company has amazing customer service. Haven't tried the pants yet, but have been meaning to order.

I was just pointing out that cut above was similarly priced but regarded as much higher quality.
