Thank goodness it is being discontinued with more inclusive double breasted options being explored.

My own mother can’t pick out who flies for which company.
My daughter can recognize the uniform a baseball player wears, but she couldn’t pick out the Yankees because she doesn’t care that much about baseball.
I would venture to say well over 90% of passengers can’t pick out a Delta pilot or know the difference between 3 and 4 stripes. Believe it or not, people just don’t care.
Also, that was the dorkiest post you’ve ever made.

The only people who think the Delta pilot uniform looks iconic are other pilots. The flying public could give two damns.

The DB fit me better, and when they said bottom button had to be buttoned, that eliminated any thought of wearing the SB.
Having said that, the only person who cares less than me which jacket the pilot next to me is wearing are our passengers

I haven’t even worn the hat in nearly 2 years. Continuing to wear the SB jacket will be easy enough.
