I put the ALPA pin on my lanyard. That way blazer season or not, the ALPA pin isn’t forgotten.
I've been wearing my ALPA lanyard since the day ALPA handed them out. As a very young and clueless pilot at my regional I went to an ALPA council meeting with my sim partner (upgrading CA) and learned a lot about ALPA and the importance of unity.
I used to wear a pin in my tie but it would always get caught on shoulder harnesses, etc. so I got out of the habit. Is everyone putting the ALPA pin over that red design thing they put on the tie or somewhere else?
