Or was this a current picture and union folks are still wearing their old uniforms. I hear this is still happening on the line but this a bit tone deaf for those representing all 12,000 of us.

And you didn't even address the LEC officer down in IAH wearing embroidered CAL wings on a work shirt while on duty. I guess he is somehow different and exempt because he was elected and not appointed.
