In September American Airlines rolled out new uniforms for their 70,000+ employees. While uniforms in and of themselves won’t change the customer experience, symbolically they represented the “new American” becoming one, since previously American and US Airways flight attendants wore different uniforms. Furthermore, the new uniforms seemed to be a real point of pride for…

American is a pretty evil company. Who would put their employees health at risk over a uniform. Should have been a full recall from the start. Shame on American
Im a flight attendant at American and 1600 reports of 24000 Flights Attendants its ridiculous to recall the uniform which is fine and liked by MOST of us.
If are impacted wear the old pieces or buy grey ones at AA expense whixh the company allows but why should give up my good new ...actually perfect fot uniforms to wear my old sack of a uniform. SORRY JUST DONT AGREE WITH THE UNION on this one

They don't like the new uniforms so they are pretending to suggest that they are unhealthy in some way.
Am I the only one whom thinks this may be a new way for AA employees / Union to stick it to their company?
It looks BS to me.
Either there is a VERY rare substance etc on the fabric which cause everyone to physically have issues or none. But a selected 1600...
And FA's nowadays (big US carriers) are pretty scary/mean group -
