American Airlines named in suit over uniforms

American Airlines has now formally been dragged into growing litigation stemming from the uniform crisis that has plagued the airline for more than a year. Thursday, a group of AA employees amended a lawsuit initially filed in early August that listed only AA uniform supplier Twin Hill as a defendant. The amended lawsuit now names American Airlines as a defendant. Plaintiffs in the amended lawsuit include Dena and Joseph Catan. Dena Catan is an AA flight attendant. Joseph Catan is Dena's husband and the AA pilot who famously noted at a crew meeting last March in front of AA top management that he had experienced what he believed to be symptomatic reactions triggered by the Twin Hill uniforms. Catan then went on to say he believed there was a safety issue in the cockpit tied to the Twin Hill uniforms. <br/>
