This sense of “otherness” towards fellow pilots, that fly the line a lot themselves, is abhorrent. Feels very shoot-inside-the-circle esque.
I never saw an instructor wearing the lanyard either. I always wore mine into the lion’s den and I was the one being tested. I never understood why those guys can’t put the damn lanyard on. I think it would only take one or two influential instructors to start wearing the alpa contract swag if/when we get it to sway the other followers to support their union.
