Technically no. It's supposed to be business casual.

ahem.... A brief search of Carl's post history turns up numerous instances of this. Every one of them emphatically stating as "fact" that the opener would not be released. Man, that was easy...

The jeans thing is silly as my $200 7s look better than $40 Dockers.

We'll all have to wait and see what is released. If we see a summary of details that we are demanding as our opening position, then that will be good and our Council 20 chairman will have been wrong for saying the opener will not be made available to line pilots. If however this "concept" opener is released with no details other than to say we're seeking improvements in this or that section, then he will have been right because that isn't the opener. You don't negotiate from concepts.

Interesting. Just for pure curiosity's sake, I'd like to know. From what TO wrote below, it made me think it was us that was asking:

No, our FOM states that "Business casual attire or uniform" for flight deck jumpseaters, so technically the FOM was being violated. Now one might argue that if they were in the back, that's not the flight deck and they could wear whatever. But I think it's pretty clear that trying to jumpseat in jeans is frowned upon.

However, I almost got trapped in a situation where I was thinking of jumpseating in jeans. I left for the airport with my wife and daughter to non-rev back home. 2 hours before the flight, there were 18 out of 70 seats open. Pretty good huh? Nope - after the revenue was boarded, 1 seat open. Overflow from another flight. Had there been another seat, I would of nicely asked the Captain if I could jumpseat, even as I was in jeans. It would be that or make a risky connection with a 2 year old. I know the rules but sometimes things happen. We ended up having to take another flight, not enough seats.

ps. I had dockers in my bag, but I checked it. Agent said, "oh yeah, you'll get on no problem..."

I hope all Delta pilots concern themselves with "strengthening our network" only to the extent that it strengthens (GROWS) our seniority list.

Minus the Japanese O&D passengers. It would be a much smaller network because it would have significantly less traffic in total, and way less business traffic.
