I wish I could edit the poll to add include yours. But just to clarify, all lanyards I've gotten in the last few years have all had break away pins in the back.

Always wear my pin(star one for the strike of 1998, or my years of membership one), but not normally not a lanyard guy. Clipped to pocket, but do wear the lanyard during contract time.

Just an observation during indoc and IQ… but I was shocked at the lack of support being shown around Virginia Ave. It’s not just new hires. I haven’t seen more than a couple ALPA lanyards for those here for CQ and I’ve yet to come across an SLI wearing ALPA gear. Maybe it’s the fact we are on company property and people are shy? To me, that’s all the more reason to wear it.

Choke hazard was my excuse. I hate things hanging on me. Tie comes off as soon as I am out of public view, no watches or chains etc. Wedding ring stays on for cultural norms. I considered doing a ring tattoo instead but my wife was opposed.

Yeah the stats on pilot asphyxiation by lanyard are insane.

CASC until negotiating lanyard arrives.
'Years of service' ALPA pin at the 'V' above ID.
I put my president's circle PAC sticker on last year's PAC bag-tag (no bag tag last year. :( ) and it's now accompanied by the 'C2026' yellow tag.
I wish I saw more ALPA PAC stickers/tags. Gotta protect the profession.

I know, I should "work on my pieces of flare". ;)

The blue lanyard that says “Veteran” is an ALPA lanyard….

Just curious- where do you guys put the ALPA pin? I want to put it on my uniform shirt but don’t know where it’s most appropriate/visible. I’d put it on my lanyard but I feel like it’s more visible on the shirt.

...tie tack

I put it on my tie. Sticks out great against the black tie.
