Leaving room: 4 buttons on, Getting into van: 4 buttons off,
Out of van: 4 buttons on, Entering security: 4 buttons off, Leaving security: 4 buttons on, Entering cockpit: 4 buttons off.
Repeat in reverse order at next layover.
Who's idea was this anyway??? They MUST be retired and laughing their a$$es off about now.
Yep, after I popped a few mid-rotation I take mine in and had the backside of the buttons reinforced. They put in a metal sorta thing on the inside of the jacket and some sort of fishing line stuff that can withstand the multi-buttoning and unbuttoning requirements. Works much mo betta.
