But at the end of the phone call, I turned his condescending nasty attitude back against him when I pointed out that he was the one who was supposed to give me the approved vendor list. Once he hemmed and hawed, I kept saying "but it clearly says that you will provide me a list".
It was funny. Just to CYA, I stopped by and told my CPO at LGA. Everybody laughed about it ... and I was in my cotton pants at the time.
It is funny to a point, may be even ridiculous.
But I do thing we got to look good. If the shade of the color is off a little people can see it, especially in different light.
I see too many pilots around the airports, not from DAL for the most part, who look too trashy.
Please understand me right, I am not a fashion police either, but there should be a line in substituting Dockers or the amount of grease on pants or coffee drops on the shirts.
It will be much easier to convince the public that we need 40% pay restoration if we not only fly great, but also look, act and converse with our customers well.
Feel free to disagree, but I don't think "they don't pay me enough" is the right answer.
Nothing personal, KC; I realize your point is totally different.
