Man you nailed it . I understand trying to help save a few bucks when we all can but making a plane load of people sweat and wait til 5 minutes before departure to start APU is ridiculous. Then you get to destination and wait 20 minutes for a gate with engine(s) running or wait 30 minutes or more in LaGarbage or JFDelay for a gate and the question begs to be answered, Why do some Captains feel good about making paying customers sweat profusely ? Is it really saving that much ? Especially when the Airlines turn around and dump millions of dollars into these climate , Carbon Neutral, green deal things .

Why do the questions keep asking which blazer I'd buy? I'm not buying anything. If they change the uni's they can pay for it.

Cbreezy said it exactly right. If the pilot uniform were so brand relevant, it would be like a coke can. It can be printed in any language in the world and everyone knows what it is.
That’s okay. I get mistaken for the Walmart greeter, all the time.

This. I’m not paying a cent out of pocket for any of the new uniform pieces. The company can supply them if they’d like us to wear them.

I get police for some reason. Had a small boy last week run to his parents and scream “Mama it’s the police, help me!”

Maybe it’s the mirrored aviators I wear through the terminal.

Keep the double breasted! I don’t want to look like United nor American. 😄

The amount you guys want to look "different than other airline pilots" is weird. It's like you think we're better than them or something? I just want to be comfortable.

Agreed, some are weirdly obsessed.

Think of all the fuel we’re saving by not carrying those hats with us.
