Delta Air Lines employees are speaking out after they say the company’s new uniforms have given some of them rashes and breathing problems. The airline unveiled its new line of uniforms for its employees last May. It didn’t take long for the excitement of the uniform launch to turn into concern from some of Delta’s 64,000 employees. Some employees are speaking out on an online forum to share information about the rashes and burns they say they’ve gotten as a result of the uniforms. Delta has responded to the claims and said that it is working on a solution. "Although Delta and Lands’ End conducted in-depth testing during every step of development, a small number of employees have reported skin irritations. While less than 1% of employees in the new uniform program have reported issues, Delta takes this very seriously." <br/>

Aeroflot has sharply criticised comments from the regional governor of Khabarovsk suggesting the fatal accident involving a Sukhoi Superjet 100 was entirely the result of human factors. The Khabarovsk region includes Komsomolsk-on-Amur, where the Superjet assembly line is based. Governor Sergei Furgal, in an interview with a regional television channel, reassured that Superjet production would not be halted as a result of the May 5 accident. But he claimed that official conclusions stated that the aircraft was in “perfect” technical condition and “fully functional”, and that the pilots made “a number of errors”, due to inexperience or agitation, while returning to land at Moscow Sheremetyevo. “This is 100% human factor,” Furgal stated. Aeroflot has condemned Furgal’s comments. <br/>
