A.         A flight attendant shall wear a complete regulation uniform while on duty and at such other times as required by the Company.

B.         A flight attendant shall purchase his or her initial uniform at the Company's actual invoice cost. The uniform may be purchased by either a cash lump sum payment, by payroll deduction, or a combination of both. Provided, however, that no flight attendant may maintain a balance owed to the Company in excess of five hundred dollars ($500) at any time. A flight attendant may request a deduction of more than the established payroll deduction if her or she so desires.

The following items shall constitute the basic uniform:

Female            Male

1 Blazer            1 Blazer

3 Shirts/Blouses            3 Shirts

2 Slacks/skirts            2 Slacks

1 Tie/Scarve            1 Tie

1 Sweater            1 Sweater

1 Apron            1 Apron

C.        A flight attendant shall be provided two sets of wings and two name tags.

D.            Optional or additional basic uniform items may be purchased by a flight attendant at the Company's actual invoice cost. Payment for these items shall be on either a cash or payroll deduction basis, provided the uniform account balance owed to the Company does not exceed $500.00.

E.            Uniform Replacement

1.            a.            On January 1 of each year, the Company shall credit the uniform replacement bank of each flight attendant who does not owe the Company more than $350.00 under any payroll deduction program, with an amount necessary to bring the balance in that bank up to a maximum of $200.00 according to the following schedule:

b.             Amounts in each flight attendant's uniform replacement bank may be used by such flight attendant to pay up to 50% of the cost of replacing any basic or optional item(s). No portion of the amount in a uniform replacement bank may be paid out in cash. Amounts in the uniform replacement banks of flight attendants whose employment terminates shall forfeit back to the Company.

2.         If the Company initiates a complete change in the basic uniform style, flight attendants will be provided with a new required uniform for all changed pieces. Any remaining balance on prior uniform pieces will continue to be deducted until fully paid. When individual uniform pieces become unavailable because, for example, a manufacturer discontinues such item or goes out of business, and the Company makes available for purchase a replacement item, the Company will allow a reasonable time period before requiring flight attendants to purchase the replacement item in lieu of wearing the replaced item.

F.            Alterations

Necessary alterations to the basic uniform at the time of initial purchase and at time of replacement will be performed by the Company's uniform vendors at the Company's expense. In the event that alteration service is no longer available, the Company will pay only for the following alterations to the basic uniform at a maximum cost set by the Company in accordance with area standards:

1.            Slacks length;

2.            Sleeve length on blazers;

3.            Skirt hems in accordance with Company policy; and

4.            Any Company-required alteration

G.        A flight attendant may wear the official AFA insignia provided by the Association on the right side or lapel of the uniform.

H.         The Company shall consider recommendations by the Union regarding uniform issues and prior to making any substantial changes in the style, color, material or items of the uniform.

l.          The Company will make available to flight attendants for purchase, at its cost, wheeled luggage (TravelPro or quality equivalent). Such purchases may not be payroll deducted.

J.            The Company will make available for rent a maternity jumper to pregnant flight attendants at the rate of five dollars ($5.00) per month.

K.            The Company will not require flight attendants to wear high heel shoes in the crew lounge, on the ramp, in parking lots and on associated buses, or on the aircraft.
