I also have never owned the free candy trench coat either. Was your quality leather jacket included with your embry riddle loan or did you over pay for that too?

Let’s see. Actually I paid $150 for a brand new Perrone jacket from someone I know at ZW who got one as a gift but didn’t fit him, but fit me perfectly. So I spent 0.002% of my $57,000 new hire ZW bonus, or 0.0016% of my 1st year total salary on it. Cost is a non-issue, Squib, when new hire FOs at ZW are pulling in $90k 1st year. I can understand your bitterness however having seen generations of pilots working their 1st few years at $20k to $36k the last 2 decades. Times have changed. I can afford and pay cash for my GQ-ness. Welcome to the good times my fellow 1st year ZW FOs! Now show me your Velcro!!
