Thanks for the info about CAL.

Also, while I value all the opinions expressed about metal versus embroidered wings, the devil, as always, is in the details.

I've seen both cheap metal wings and embroidered ones and great looking wings of each.

My main objection is not having the option and that the decision is made by pilots who rarely fly anymore, but spend their time in business casual and suits.

Actually, if I was king, I'd be wearing a bright blue cotton flight suit with gold fringe...well maybe just on holidays. :-)
