Well, it’s mandatory wear 4 months of the year (unless you are getting an
awful lot of L rotations). Plus, it’s not uncommon to see in October and March due to colder temps up north. So really, there’s only about six months of the year that you don’t see horse blankets at all.
But I think the point is that
if we are going to have a uniform jacket, having something that is distinctive and associated with the brand is a real and valuable thing. To me, if they are going to water down whatever image we do have with the SB, we might as well have a
functional winter coat. Like a Northface or other technical jacket. Southwest has figured this out.

We have never had uniform police other than ATL that I know of…so this will be one of those delayed roll out changes.
IMO
I really don’t get this dig. I’ve been based in both Atlanta and New York, and the
only place I’ve ever seen uniform police was NYC, and that CP/RD got fired for it.
