Everything speaks
Uniform expectations
Airline travelers form opinions or choose an airline based
on their impressions. Price, convenience, and other
aspects play a part, but many travelers’ choices center on
perceived quality differences between carriers.
General
• Unless specifically indicated, these expectations refer to both men and ladies.
• Refer to the charts in this guide to see which garments can be worn together.
• Your new uniform and accessories may only be worn when performing your job or
commuting to and from work.
• Maintain all uniform items in a clean, crisp and presentable condition at all times.
• Uniform pieces are gender-specific and may not be ordered by the opposite sex. • Garments must be worn in the manner in which they were designed.
• Garments that don’t fit properly must be replaced with the appropriate size.
• Alterations that change the style of the uniform aren’t permitted, such as
tapering your bottom garments.
Research shows that airline travelers see the behavior and
appearance of airline personnel as an indicator of
airline performance. If a customer sees that an employee
goes the extra mile, exhibits a friendly and helpful
attitude, and presents a crisp, clean image, the customer
is much more likely to see the carrier as consistent,
reliable and proficient.
As a uniformed employee, you have the power to make
a deep and lasting impression on our customers by
presenting a professional, crisp and consistent appearance.
While each of us is important to the company’s success,
those of you who represent US Airways to the traveling
public have a unique role. As a frontline employee,
you are US Airways.
Overview
The purpose of your new uniform is to make you easily
identifiable to customers as a representative of
US Airways. You’re expected to report to work in uniform
and meet all uniform and appearance expectations
covered here, as well as any updates, revisions, or changes
published by your department.
Be sure you review your departmental guidelines which
describe in detail the specific uniform and appearance
standards that apply to you. If there’s a conflict between
this handout and your department guidelines, your
department’s policy applies. Employees who don’t meet
these standards will meet with their manager or supervisor.
Any questions regarding these policies should be directed to
your supervisor or via your department feedback channels.
