Default 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".

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.
