Why is it so hard to just follow the FOM, when pilots are hired here they know this, and it clearly states what you have to do...I've never understood why people deviate from it, if it's followed you stay out of the CP office

 

I’ll admit the label was too much, i should have said it seems that it’s the newer crowd that hasn’t been in the industry for hardly any given amount of time and they feel the need to tattle. Every seat as their % of good and bad. A hat doesn’t make someone a professional. I’ve also flown with unprofessional captains that wore the hat. At the end of the day, we should be looking out for each other, not trying to ruin each other. Apparently this isn’t the airline that everyone says it once was not long ago

 

Just going to say this about the people that feel the need to tattle on fellow employees...This is a small industry. Word travels fast and people will find out who you are. We are all adults. Your job description doesn't include being the uniform police. Also if you feel the need to be Captain America, please do everyone a favor and tone it down a notch. No one likes those types.

 

 

I can agree with that, but please tell me where the FOM states that we must be in uniform anytime we are in the crew room/on a commute? I’ll wear whatever I feel like when I’m off duty, I suppose they could argue that we are not allowed to use the crew room when off duty

I'm sure it was a personal jacket over the uniform if there was a problem.

 

Better yet, everyone should be minding their own business and worring about themselves. You shouldn’t have a problem with anyone else’s uniform (unless they have a stain/tear or their wings are falling off). If someone isn’t wearing wings, hat, jacket, scarf, has stubble, wrinkled shirt... needless to say they know about it and don’t care for anyone else’s opinion.

 

Which many of us do on the commute, as do countless others in this job and have been for many years. How is this possibly a problem. We aren't on duty .I guess the lesson is don't you dare commute in uniform if you don't want to be incognito.

 

A. Wearing of the uniform will be limited to when on duty, when on special assignment or when in transit to or from duty.

B. PICs and SICs will only wear a complete uniform as described below. Other items are not authorized.

D. Uniform combinations or variations other than those stipulated below are not authorized.

Hat
A. Compass Airlines hat emblem and hardware as sold by the designated Company uniform supplier will be worn when the pilot is in public outside the aircraft.


It’s crystal clear in the FOM. Either you’re in compliance or you’re knowingly breaking FOM.

Yes, no one should get reported or in trouble for this.
But honestly? No one should ever have to report it, or discipline someone for it; because it should simply never happen. It is so easy to control that it should be an impossibility. We’re airline pilots, not 14 year old girls fighting the school dress code. This shouldn’t be an issue, especially with Captains. Obviously it is becoming a problem, so the company is enforcing it.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

 

Yah, no I'm just saying if the person walked into the crew room with a personal jacket over a uniform, maybe AO or whomever saw it and said something. I'm just speculating, I have no idea.
