A policy that only applies while in uniform and that cannot be enforced until July (six months following the FOM change). Even after that, ALPA still has a legal standing to ask it's membership to wear orange as a legal Union action.
An instructor at CQ told us the company initially asked them to enforce the new lanyard policy, but management reversed themselves after a couple weeks. Now the guidance is don't say anything about the lanyard policy. Most of the SLIs now wear orange. My sim buddy joined me and put his orange one on for day 2.
