Also no epaulets on the trench AFAIK.

FWIW, NWA didn't wear wings on the shirt. In the summer, no one knew who we were once hats became optional. BTW, never let hats be optional. Either everyone wears one or no one wears one. It looked really stupid with a mix.

I think it should be optional. One less thing to have to keep up with for me.
Maybe some baseball caps would be better. Especially in the cockpit with the sun crushing on us 10 hours out of the day.

The guys who rail about having to wear a uniform hat (and then feel as if they've won some great victory over management when they became optional) because "I hate wearing a hat".
Then, the minute they get into the cockpit, or head out of the hotel room on the overnight, they put on their PING ball cap, and never take it off, even inside a restaurant.

When we were required to wear the Uniform hate it was nice to take it off in the cockpit and put on a ball cap for more coverage.
There are those that want it and those that don't. I actually don't like them because of how they fit and feel. It's just me, but if I'm required to wear them I will.

So what that means is that we will be issued wings for the shirts AND jackets, since the jackets also require wings.
g. One set of wings
Soooo... Guess we either get to buy another set (same with epaulettes) if we want to be 'compliant', or not...
