Retro would be a grand slam....aka Pan Am. I nod to our elders who made this a great career.
As far as "Thick Stripes" vs "Thin Stripes". aka not looking like a Regional pilot (from what a ALPA REP told me)
...ever heard of TWA, PAN AM, NWA, EAL, Braniff, National....I could go on? All of home had thick stripes!
Using thick stripes to differentiate ourselves from the regional pilots?
...ever heard of Envoy, PSA, Piedmont, Horizon, SkyWest, Compass, Endeavor, ExpressJet, Mesa...I could go on? All of them have thick stripes!
Just save yourself looking like a retard and admit you don’t like them because they’re a throwback to whatever legacy you didn’t come from or thin stripes just offend you or something that can’t be easily disproven.
