Dear Members,

Item: Torn/Shredding/Spider Webbing Uniform Lining.

US Airways corporate has notified the employee uniform committee that as of October 31, 2009 TwinHill will no longer absorb the cost of uniform pieces with lining issues.

What this means to US is that after October 31, 2009 the company will have to absorb all costs related to replacement of these items. Although this may not seem like a big deal it will be in regard to the amount of money the company, "your company", will have to put out to cover the costs of what is a manufacturing defect.

TwinHill has accepted responsibility for the defect and is changing the current lining to a lining that will withstand extensive wear. The uniform pieces with this new lining will be available in new bulk stock orders.

So, if tearing/shredding/or spider webbing has happened or happening to your uniform blazer, zip vest or zip jacket return the item to your supervisor before October 31, 2009. The item will be replaced and shipped at the cost to TwinHill. So to avoid having this company "our company"
waste more unnecessary dollars please return damaged items to your supervisor before October 31, 2009 for replacement.

As a reminder should this happen to your lined items after October 31, 2009 the uniform return policy will stand for replacements. That means at company cost.

As always Fly Fast and Fly Safe.
