I’ll take five please! Link your $5 web series instructional on how to DIY it too.

We’ll fit right in with the FAs 😬

All those pins are for how many times scheduling tried to ask if willing to do a 2 hour extension 👽 during a career .

The old “Delta has the best pilots in the world because we look the best”.

At the same time we look the best, we stay at the Sonesta and make us fly sim 5 & 8 (737 fleet), which is the best training environment money can buy. Then give us a 5 hour sit followed by a min rest overnight along with the other paring nonsense. Does all this encompass true professionalism?

WTF is in the water down there in Bug Tussle?

While I hate to get into intergenrational sniping, it occurred to me the other day that:

The old pilots want the hat because it covers their bald spot(s)

The young pilots put a lot of work into that glorious mane of hair, and a hat screws it up.

(Enjoy it while it lasts, you lucky bastards. Male pattern baldness eventually comes for most of us)

more like how many times that generation offered to take the extension, or the reroute, etc, to get the “mission” done.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make

SW requires jeans at worst during training. “Nice “ tennis shoes can be worn. Shorts aren’t allowed. Another delta poster above you just likes to make things up.

Delta’s version of business casual is pretty outdated. Take a look at the rest of the company at the GO, plenty of jeans and still dressed professionally.

Someone must’ve ruined it for the rest of us and showed up in grass stained jeans or something.

Um….there’s ways to prevent male pattern baldness, you know.

or, more likely IMO, flight ops just likes doing things the way they have always done them.

Oh I'm sure thats 100% the reason. While I was joking, I'm sure some of these things are just written for the lowest common denominator, ie no one has to be the fashion police if they just keep it simple.

No way I can do a proper V1 cut in jeans. The sim might explode

WHAT?!?

Next you’re going to tell me there’s some kind of miracle “blue pill” for ED and that gold (or crypto) is the perfect investment.

Pshaw. Sell it to the next young fool.

:).

I stopped ironing my shirts on augmented flights since we have to sleep in our uniform anyway. Wear your uniform to bed pilots.

As much as i'd be fine with it, honestly it might feel ever so slightly weird to buckle in to the sim in jeans if you've been climbing into the sim in khakis and a button down for 20 years.

It's been uniform pants and shoes with the only golf shirt I own since day 1. If I can't wear shorts and flip flops, zero Fs given to fashion at the GO. BTW what's a "business casual?" White polish on the good NBs?

Spring '24 means fall '24.

There's no way to enforce (or even care) about exact pants fabric match when there's no jacket to compare it to.

The things you guys rebel over...

The entire point of a Nov 1 deadline was because of winter uniforms. If it doesn't happen until spring, then it won't matter until next fall.

Not sure how wild a "rebellion" that is

Wait what? You actually lie in the bunk in your uniform shirt?

Why don't you take your shirt off, hang it up, and sleep in your t-shirt like the rest of us? Hell we even have clowns changing into pajamas in the galley on the ER and 400, apparently.

You guys have bunks?

Never seen PJs, seen plenty of zip ups and 1/4 zips.

And yikes, sleeping in a uniform shirt? Sounds fatiguing.

when I was on the ER I would change into sweats and a sweatshirt for sleeping. Granted, I did it in the lav, but it's my break, I'll be as comfy as I want to be.

As for uniform pants, just order the Lululemon ABC pants. They fit great, they look good, and they're bomb comfy

Had to go look them up after your post, pretty spendy at $128/pair!!!!

any decent set of pants will be close to that after good tailoring, and Lulu tailors for free.

My Haggars from Costco were $19 and I sleep in them just fine

do they really? Had no idea. But they are a really comfortable pant. And they don't fall apart like the Kohls Haggers

yep. You can ask at the counter and they’ll handle it right there at the store.

no one has said anything about using those for uniform pants? Feel like they would be very noticeable

20 dollar pants vs Lulus? Chris Rock did this exact same bit.

”I think I speak for the entire audience tonight, and we would all prefer a pair of 20 dollar racist yoga pants!”

pants that are better than Haggar all around:

dillards house brand round tree and yorke
travel smart microfiber . You’ll thank me later

the pants look like any other black slacks in the summer.

just, you know, better fitted for the athletic type

I'm assuming you get the Trouser and not the 5 Pocket?

there’s no crease down the middle like dress slacks / uniforms have though

nor are there in half of our pilots’ machine-washed trash bags

why would they wear short sleeve shirt in the rain?
They should wear a raincoat

What's that? Who is dumb enough to buy and carry one a whole trip

I think he means a North Face :D

I always carry a packable outdoor research rain jacket for walk around. Works great!

Delta offers a rain coat uniform piece? Is it like one of those streaker coats?
