You must not be an International Wide Body pilot! Judging from what I see around AOC, there's no way that the international catering didn't make it's effects on your body over the last "couple" years!

Funny; I know what you mean. I guess I had to eat a little lighter during 4a2b and that kept me in the same measurements!

Yep, we have a specific leather jacket with your employee number and FedEx punched into the inside of the front pocket flaps. Some guys elect to buy some custom made ones in India. Overall I think it's a good jacket, but I recommend ordering it larger than you think you will need; it seems like with mine I should have ordered a long even though the regular fit well in the store.
I believe the company will reimburse you up to $300 (maybe it's $250 can't remember) your first year towards uniform items that include this jacket or $150 each year for 2 years towards the jacket if you buy it later. I think the overall cost is around $180 so it would actually be $150 and $30 the following year with some extra $$ left for other uniform items. Next to the parka it's one of the more versatile uniform items we have since they include an extra leather blank to exchange with your wings so you can where it to the bar... ;-)

Just bought the parka two days ago. Loyal leather jacket guy until now. The parka is super versatile (my walk around in pouring rain last night was made a lot better with the parka/hood) and without the liner packs easily into a suitcase. It'll be something I carry year round.....until someone finds out how useful it is and makes it illegal to wear.
