All you cheap mf’ers that wear crappy looking pants and take no pride in your appearance are the same guys leaving cockpits trashed with food crumbs and leaving fingerprints all over the displays. Show some respect for yourself and our profession. And you knuckle heads that are going to flip out about this post are the ones I’m talking about. Rant over.

lol, I’ve never looked at another pilot’s pants

Insinuating anyone would wear other than the approved pants from the FOM is frankly appalling. How dare you.

Someone carries a rain jacket for rainy walk arounds and you accuse them of being a complete slob? I guess I’m a slob. Don’t worry though, I’ll write your name on the screens with my greasy fingers.

So someone smarter than me should start a poll. Single or double breasted?

Double. The single column of gold buttons looked goofy in the pictures.

Single. I'm over double

the gold singles just don’t look right, I agree

Not getting a jacket with the gold nipple buttons.

There’s only one place I like to see gold over nipples and it isn’t at the airport.

Tassels are actually more versatile than you’d expect.

100% single. The double is old and tired, imo.

As for the rest of the conversation. A lot of you seem to imply there's only one way. If they make jeans acceptable you CAN still wear slacks. Heck, you can wear your uniform and hat to the sim if you are that into it.

Same for the hat. Make it optional. Those who want to cover up may do so and everyone else can skip the hat as desired like quite a few already do today.

Same with facial hair. Police the grooming but allow nicely groomed beards. Doesn't mean you need to have scruff but a nicely trimmed beard can look good.

Rabble rabble uniform means everyone same rabble rabble.

How about something that is actually functional, because the idea that we need to looking like a stuffy businessmen, headed to a corporate meeting is beyond outdated. A professional looking, all weather jacket that has room for a zip in liner, would be much more welcome. Something that fits good, is lightweight, repels rain, blocks wind and can easily fold away into your bag if needed.

Southwest is hiring.

In other news, water is wet.

you make your wife call you captain, don’t you?

I'll add this to the list of stupid things that are said during contract negotiations for next cycle's bingo.

Show me on the doll where Gspeed hurt you.

You make Ed wear the hat at night, don't you.

Single Breasted. Other than Delta pilots only other person wearing double is Steve Harvey. Not a good look.

Be honest, you felt so cool by typing that.

I think I'll wear a double breasted solely because I know how mad it makes some people

Are you judging?

Yes, but not as much as when I'm rockin tha double breasted blanket.

not a word. They look very nice. There is also something about feeling a bit more professional in clothes that fit well and look good. It's the difference between a Zegna suit and an off-the-rack Macy's

Has anyone signed up for uniform fitting yet?

I'm judging that you cosplay with the hat, yes.

I signed up in every single base so I could get more socks. I’ve got a multi city uniform tour planned.

great “commuter” jacket

What does stamping Delta on it do for me that "North Face" or "Columbia" does not?

Gives the impression of a uniform if you should happen to want that. ;)

I was absolutely shocked to find out after getting hired that I had to wear a uniform. This is outrageous.

Not sure why it would have been a shock, it's pretty common knowledge that we wear uniforms.

Hagar pants and soft shell jackets excluded of course. Hmmm. I think my shoes aren’t Delta issued or mandated either. My hat though… regulation to the T.

Swing and a miss

Lol, I love my Hagars, not that I would ever consider wearing them in uniform. :D



What? I thought we were doing sarcasm to the max?

tell me you're a pilot...:D

We aren't the ones flipping out....

You need to switch to decaf...

Crewdawg,

Turn your sarcasm detector from the O-F-F position to the O-N position. :D Unless of course your above post was sarcasm, in which case I will check on my sarcasm detector.

On another front this thread is a perfect example of why APC can be so informative. In the last few pages I learned there is a cure for male pattern baldness and that Lulu lemon does free alterations.

Scoop :)

Yes sir, your sarcasm detector needs calibrated. I thought I layed it on thick enough, but ya I think a sarcasm font would be a nice add.

Never said anything about being a slob for wearing a rain jacket on a walk around. I did however, say they are out of uniform compliance and should not do that. And I stand by that. So does the FOM.

Good luck on the walk around then

Forgive my confusion, since that isn’t what you said at all in response to someone carrying a rain jacket for rainy walk arounds.
