The hat is a mild annoyance. Call me when we're fighting the mandatory horse blanket battle. That's the hill I'll die on. But if I wear my hat with an out of regs moustache, Lulus and slightly visible tattoos, does it cancel out?

You are describing 50% of the new hires hired in the last 4 years. When is the tattoo wall going to fall? The same time that WB A wall falls?

Unless it's a trip through MSP, SLC or DTW, I'm on a Carribean, Africa, Australia, South America, etc trip during jacket season. If that doesn't cover it, I was rerouted. If that doesn't cover it, I was preparing for a reroute.

Man I can't wait to sweat in my jacket walking in ATL from A to B under the little forest lights in November when it's 70 outside and the airport decided it's adequate temperature to turn the AC off...

Refusing a qualified jumpseater simply because the captain doesn’t feel like having one on a long flight merely sets the captain up for a carpet dance. It’s no different from booting any other passenger or crewmember off a flight without a valid reason.

Not that I agree with it, but that probably wouldn't be much of a carpet dance. All they'd have to do is pull out the safety card and it would likely stop right there.

The CPO isn’t going to be thrilled when they need to give the pilot a PS seat on the next flight for no apparent reason.
