Legacy Carrier - Uniform Standards
Balance at last !
A "Replacement" Item (due to Natural Wear and Tear) is quite a different thing from an "Additional" item.
Open to correction, my understanding is that Legacy Airlines around this planet pay for their employees uniform, and subsequent "replacements", and I am sure Emirates is no different.
If an EMPLOYEE of a legacy carrier is now expected to pay for "Replacement" uniform items, it is therefore a Legacy Carrier no more !
My two cents !
