I’m sticking with my looks, because I haven’t been to ATL in months.

Looking at two cops with embroidered polos. I wonder if their pay and bennies have taken a hit with the uniform.

The EPA won't allow that.

If you’re cold get an overcoat. The horse blanket is already too warm to wear comfortably in most airport concourses, including MSP.

I had my horse blanket lined with bunny fur. When turned inside out gave me entrance to Studio 54 in NYC.

Thank you for supporting my point! The jacket is worthless when it comes to keeping a pilot warm while doing a walk around in winter weather....

They are freezing their butts off waiting for the bus in Europe.

If that’s the only problem, thermal diapers might work.

This new turn of going backwards was unknown to me until today.
Asked a few F/A’s about this - a number have responded that the allergic reaction surfaced as soon as the new uniform color combo was announced 🙄

I'm sure that's a fact. I've NEVER heard a FA rumor be ridiculous.
