Union Gear
 

I saw a few comments about this in other threads so I wanted to break it out. Contract negotiations have kicked off which always begs the question of unity. While we haven't gotten any contract lanyards yet, I have noticed a significant number of pilots, not just new hires, wearing Flight Ops Lanyards. So, do you wear an ALPA lanyard? If not, then why not?

But how will people know I fly the 350 or served in the military or went to x university if I wear an ALPA lanyard?

ALPA lanyard since day two of indoc, initially because the company didn’t give us lanyards and badges until the second week…but I kept wearing an ALPA lanyard and an ALPA pin because I want to show support for the union and fellow pilots.

Just a PSA, I moved a year ago and forgot to change my address on the ALPA website. I didn’t realize until I filed a DART asking them to send me the new swag. So if you move make sure you update that. Carry on.

I never received my Pride lanyard as requested or standard issue face mask, so I’ve been wearing a lanyard I bought from the museum with my MEC pin.

Whether we're negotiating currently or not, I always wear my ALPA lanyard. The company will always try to screw us over on any day that ends with "y".

Always. ALPA lanyard and pin

I am fundamentally opposed to lanyards and the choke hazard. Your poll will not reflect my wearing of the pin or bags adorned with ALPA swag. I voted appropriately which will give your poll statistical validity but not accuracy.

Every day since ALPA gave them to my class during Indoc.

Oh to update my address... Thanks for the reminder
