AA Uniform DOs and DON'Ts
Information for AFA members at Envoy, Piedmont, and PSA
DO visit AFA’s uniform reactions reporting site and report any uniform reactions to AFA, in confidence.
- DO stop wearing the TwinHill garments. To formally opt out, contact the TwinHill call center (Envoy) or contact inflight (PSA and Piedmont). More detailed instructions are posted HERE. We are recommending that ALL of our members opt out of the TwinHill garments because: (1) Fabric testing has identified various sensitizers, irritants, hormone disruptors, and probable/possible carcinogens; (2) A growing number of our members are reporting symptoms; (3) Some Flight Attendants who are OUT of the uniform are reporting symptoms when they work NEAR those who are still wearing the uniforms.
- DO order the Aramark alternative suiting pieces, but DO NOT order the shirts because testing has found high levels of formaldehyde in the shirts. Formaldehyde is an irritant, allergen, and carcinogen. See next bullet for instructions on shirt options.
- DO purchase/be reimbursed for the maximum number of white shirts that your management allows.
- If you don’t order Aramark suiting pieces or if you order Aramark but they are back-ordered, DO purchase/be reimbursed for the maximum number of grey suiting pieces that your management allows. Try to find garments that best resemble the official uniform suiting garments.
- DO return your TwinHill garments to your local inflight office. They are the company’s property and they need to be out of your closet and your home.
- DO visit afacwa.org/uniforms for current information on reimbursement options, chemical testing of garments, and general advice.
Your uniform should not make you sick. AFA is here to support you.
We are stronger together, better together.
