Last week I wrote about how American was rolling 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 (I wish they'd have the same policy of creating…

Share your questions, experiences, and thoughts below.
Polyester allergy - very prevalent amongst those who wear it day in and day out such as FAs. Unfortunately many cotton fabrics can also contain a small percentage of polyester for strength.
@Endre & Cinti: Oh boy, do you also think that your iPhones and laptop computers are filled with asbestos? They are all made in China, after all.
If this problem actually exists (other than in the heads of the complaining flight attendants), the one to blame here is AA for choosing unsuitable materials or not ensuring adequate quality control.
I think the aa ceo should be dunked in bleach. The Chinese $uck with their own people, why would they care about Americans. The effing ceos and politicians have no problem sending jobs overseas buy something happens they want us to be patriotic.
Eff freeloaders like trump and all Trac cutting birches like the Republicans.
lol at all these anti-China comments. I mean, I'll agree that if the outfits were sourced in the US there would probably be better labor standards and conditions...but let's not pretend that American manufacturers wouldn't be cost cutting using not so great chemicals or injecting polyester either. It's not like if these were made at American Apparel that they'd be any better in quality.
And let's not mention that these outfits could have been made in Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, Honduras, or a host of other countries.
Ben, There is some issue visiting your site through Twitter. After I click on your links, I briefly see the article and then get redirected to random sites. Only happens with your website. Please look into it.
Another likely culprit is formaldehyde, which most new clothes, fabrics, furnitures contain and emit. With clothes, washing those thoroughly before use can help.
Concerned, are the site ones telling you that you've won a prize, game, etc? I keep getting that too and thought I was the only one. Happens on View From
the Wing too so maybe it's a boarding area problem?
Melamine in the baby milk formula - Those Chinese, they don't even care their own babies let alone AA flight attendants.

Boarding Area either uses unscrupulous ad servers or is infected with malware. This has been an issue I've noticed for YEARS, and it is what finally forced me to remove the domain from my adblocking whitelist, though I wish I could justify supportting them!
I've once bought a shirt that has consistently gave me skin rash every time I wear it, despite it says its made of cotton. Just so happened its made in China like everything now a day. But I totally believe such claim from my own personal experience. I still have the shirt, but I don't wear it unless I'm in the mood to be have skin allergic reaction.
So...
Let's form a Union - only College degree required unions are airlines and teachers.
Let's complain as 400.
So much for having an airline employee work in a clean, attractive attire.
Does anyone read these posts?
