For the life of me I cannot understand why this bothers you guys. It is one of more bizarre issues you guys have.
It was allowed over here because years ago captains often were displaced to the right seat in the winter. There was no need to keep different jackets and the company doesn't pay for our uniforms. It has nothing to do with ego.
If it wasn't allowed here, it wouldn't be happening. But it is allowed.
You guys have such chips on your shoulders. We have enough issues without making one out of what should be a non-issue.
