Professionals dress like professionals. The sooner we all go back to the suit and hat the better. The same guys that dress like slobs complain about how the profession is not what it used to be.

Okay, then, we should be wearing flight suits .... The most professional pilots in the world wear green flight suits daily.

How about this. Instead of management focusing on uniforms, PAs, hats, and now the jacket debate, why don't they focus on more important things like....oh let's say, moving airplanes more efficiently and on time. More specifically, figuring out the real problem at hand instead playing the blame game. Pilots are easy targets.

Did you notice how large the piece of pie was for onboard entertainment? That falls directly on managements shoulders for dicking around and not having a system already operational.

Any truth to the rumor that the AS-DL code share is DOA?

Quick FOM revision and presto...no more transition jacket. Same revision...blazer and hat req. could happen any time they want.

I like the transition jacket, and have worn one for years, but it is NOT very professional looking. I recently started wearing the blazer (pre memo, for the record). It's fine, and clearly a better look. The hat I'm not thrilled about and it still has a healthy patina of dust in the closet, but I'm preparing for the day it returns.

I'm not advocating posting company memos online but out of curiosity, what was the gist? Try to wear blazers more to look professional?
