Trust is “artificial” with the commonality of the FM/FOM/UPA, company ID and uniform.
if one of dudes at 5am was using the wrong FM something would be suspect.
This is why pilots who don’t care about the uniform or have a negative attitude create resentment.
Again in None of my comments have I advocated for nor promoted intentional uniform non compliance. I also adhere to uniform policy. Nor have I promoted or encouraged others to "come to work like slobs"- however that statement is very subjective.
So far if you want to go back and read, all I have done is point out my dislike for current policy and draw attention to it being a little archaic compared to most of our peers. The fact that I think the hat is stupid is me disagreeing with you, someone who obviously loves the hat. It is not me having a bad attitude.
commonality of the FM/FOM/UPA......I know right I mean I bet all you guys who be hatin on me still use the term "Co-Pilot"
