Default Contract Lanyard

I’m not wearing it.

Not because I don’t believe in showing unity, but because the stupid thing doesn’t want to be around my neck. Given the slightest tug, be it deliberate or inadvertent, the “latch” (that tiny pitiful raised dot of plastic that holds the whole damn thing together) comes undone and the lanyard falls to the ground.

Dang ALPA, use your millions to give us something that works.

Even more importantly it’s not a Delta approved color! Quelle horreur for some of our captains I’m sure

Mine works fine. It's loaded up with my badges and ready for next trip.

The lanyard showing was actually pretty good in the ATL this evening. I was impressed.

Take apart the latch, tie the lanyard in a simple knot just above the latch, latch it back together. Since it's a bulkier lanyard, you'll have to cinch down the knot a little, but it works just fine.

Could they have made it a little shorter?

Drill out the hole in the latch, insert a small black zip tie through it, and then zip tight. Fixed.

I much preferred the way the fair skies lanyard was constructed.

These lanyard issues are hilarious. The orange ones last time guys couldn’t figure out how to do the clasp or whatever the issue was. And this time they’re too short and guys can’t figure out how to make them longer or make the thing stay put.

Is this real life?
