So who has been extra nice to their air traffic controllers this weekend? :D

Me.

"Okay, Delta 1521 switching to 126.42, and you know what, I hope you really have a great day. Thanks so much for the next frequency. Thanks. Thanks so much."

Larger AE's usually take longer. Someone else said later in the week.

I'm with tsquare on this one guys. During the season where the jacket is required, I long sleeve it and try to keep the weight off so the buttons don't look like they're pulling 9 G's.

Since this uniform is basically a Navy uniform, I have to ask. When you Navy guys wore your double breasted jackets, do you have short sleeve shirts underneath?

No - The shirt underneath is long sleeves. But unless you are pulling duty in the Pentagon or some other major HQ, we pretty much only wear them for special occasions.

Is that your opinion or good intel?

Thanks, that's certainly what I would have guessed.

So much for the "it's a uniform not a business suit" argument.

I always sound like that. I promise!

Be sure to throw the hat under your car and run over it a few times.. and make sure the jacket is tailored so that it wouldn't have fit correctly 30 pounds ago. THEN.. you'll be in pilot vogue. Short sleeves and earbuds are icing on the cake :cool:

Just how out of touch are both of you? :confused: An airline pilot wearing a long sleeve shirt has always screamed "oddball". Let me guess, you have lamb chop sideburns, a mustache, and hair over your ears. When you had hair that is.

Most pilots I have flown with who had long sleeves were slightly different. Not always in a bad way.
