Thanks for the entertainment. This has been awesome reading.

To all the pilots who think it is okay to wear whatever TF you want, it is not necessarily about the clothing, jacket, sweater, etc. It is about following company rules. FOM 3.7. If a captain you are flying with comments on your uniform it may just be because our FOM requires the captain to "...monitor and counsel other flight deck crew members with respect to uniform standards..."

To all the pilots against wearing whatever TF you want, you will never convince the others because they likely do not believe the rules apply to them and that they may think their way is better. Whatever.

Until the company shows that they give a sh*t let everyone do their own thing. Some will follow the rules, some won't. When the hammer falls either way, if it ever does, some will be righteous, some won't.

We all know which pilot we want to be, right, wrong, or indifferent.

As far as I know, the company is coming out with a new uniform, so I can understand them, and us, not really giving 2 sh*ts about the current state of our [uniform]. Let's let it play out and see what the new uniform looks like. I have even heard that it may include a cutout for North Face [like] jackets and sweaters. Maybe we can get a clause in there for dockers, black tennis shoes, and backpacks. Then maybe everyone can be happy.
