American Airlines reaches out to new uniform supplier for pilots

American Airlines' unfolding uniform crisis is still getting the full attention of AA management nearly 9 months after airline employees first began experiencing symptomatic reactions to new uniforms supplied by Twin Hill, a unit of Men's Wearhouse. Late Wednesday American Airlines pilots, who are members of the Allied Pilots Association, learned that the airline is making available to them new uniform pieces provided by Murphy & Hartelius (M&H), a well-respected, family-run uniform company that has been providing uniforms to airline pilots for decades. The alternative uniform items from M&H will include pants made from a wool/polyester/lycra blend fabric and a solid, white cotton blend shirt in either long- or short-sleeved styles. The M&H uniform pieces are not identical to the original Twin Hill uniform pieces, but similar. <br/>
