• American pilots have rejected all proposed alternate uniform shirt choices from beleaguered uniform manufacturer Twin Hill.

  [T]he pilots union concluded the quality of the prototypes — and the fabric used in them — was not substantively better than the original shirt. So the pilots union passed on the prototypes.

  Now, male pilots who want a new and different uniform shirt can buy one off the shelf at their own expense, while female AA pilots can buy an acceptable alternative to the sheer Twin Hill shirt and get reimbursed by AA.
