...the US Airways MEC Uniform Newsletter

Also, it is not mandatory to place your uniform order within 24 hours of your fitting. However, TwinHill is asking that you do it as soon as possible after your fitting so they can begin processing your orders for shipping. Uniforms will start shipping approximately the fourth week of November.

Many of you that have been to your fitting have seen pictures of the new third tie for men and the new third scarf for women, but have not found them on the web site for order. TwinHill has confirmed that as of the evening of October 10 they will both be on the website. If you have already placed your order and would like to go back and order or change your order for one of those items you may do so by calling the TwinHill customer service number and an associate will help you.

We have heard from many of our female flight attendants about not having the "all weather coat " and the "rain coat" available at the fit lines. The information I have received from Corporate and TwinHill management is that both of the coats had been redesigned and were not able to be made in mass production to accommodate the number of sizes that were necessary for the fit lines. They have told me that when the ladies order their coats they should use the same size as their blazers or at most one size up. As an added note, while at the fit line if you ask to see the men's "all weather coats" and "rain coats" you will be able to see and feel the material as they are made of the same materials.

We will continue to update you as the fit line continues through the month with any updates that will help you through your New US Airways Uniform experience.

Thank you for taking the time to be informed.
