I say we fight to get the FDX hoodie approved. That will make them forget all about the parka.

Why "get it approved"? I've seen people walking around the AOC in everything from down overcoats to fleece zip ups. Just start wearing the hoodie. In the summer we can switch to wife beaters. They'll be handing out leather jackets like little foam ear plugs before you know it.

How about FedEx Snuggies? The perfect layover attire.

I wonder if there is a patent for an insulated wearable locker?

They've been trying to get rid of bid packs for years (it MUST be expensive to print?). If we agree to get rid of them they should at least let us expense our annual BidX fee ...
