Had one give me crap in a DEN jetbridge because he said my leather jacket wasn’t approved. I bought a Pops Leather jacket because Perrone was more expensive and took longer to get, and it was winter and I needed a jacket (before Karbon jackets). I asked where it showed the approved jacket vendors and he said, “it’s in there somewhere…”. Asked if it was in the FOM, CBA….and he didn’t answer so I walked off.

Had a PHX CKA give me crap about something unrelated to flying after he sat in the jumpseat and begged for a ride to SAN so he could do some ETOPS OE. I told him I didn’t care and that he wasn’t my boss. He asked who my CP was so I told him and said my CP wouldn’t give two s$&!s and he could use my phone to call him since I have his cell. He sat in the corner of the hotel van and shut up. I’m not on probation and I’m not playing games with idiots who want to nitpick just to nitpick.

If you’re following the AOM and not doing something stupid, WGAF what kind of jacket or brand of pants you’re wearing? People need to quit making easy hard.
