Until I get to remove a FA with a purple Mohawk I WILL NOT enforce a dress code on my FO’s.

Right. If they do their job well, who cares what their hair looks like

Apparently our company does. Point out to us in one onboard video, sky hub, Delta Net home page, the media posters adorning our check in/gate areas/jet birdges etc. where there is a photo of the "purple" mohawk. I'll help you out. None. Management here do care about the "image"

BTW why do keep calling your former regional a "shop". Been in the biz for a few decades and we stopped using "shop" circa '91. You part of the plumbers union or something?

I'm pretty sure I only said it once and it was on response to someone else who used it. Does that make you feel bad?

Serious question....before you leave the house for your next rotation you check the local forecasts and see rain at every airport...what do you do?

It's summer....you brining the double breasted out of hibernation to wear on the walk arounds so you will be 100% FOM compliant? (Assuming Capt bluejuice71 does walk around on FO legs)

Umbrella?

Trench Coat?

Of you just dong the preflight in your white button down shirt?

“Yes”

“And I have qualified immunity and enjoy the privileges/remunerative benefits /perks of asset forfeiture.”

“Was that more than 3.5 oz of PB&J I saw in your carry on?”

Absolutely no Trench coats. I have seen North Face (or similar), and also a black stuff-able waterproof windbreaker. You’ll be fine with one of those as long as you limit it to walk arounds. Don’t get drenched, that’s just stupid. And for heavens sake, don’t wear it in the terminal with your hat.

I saw one pilot in the terminal with his safety vest and hat on pulling his overnight bags. Epic.
