LCA directed to address orange lanyards
 
I have flown w several LCAs since I started wearing my orange lanyard and not a peep. Things seemed to have changed since the big LCA meeting this week! My CA (LCA) shows up and one of the first things he says is that I am out of uniform compliance and I should not be wearing my lanyard in public. He then explains that this was brought up at the meeting. After our trip I said thanks for a great trip and for not making me take off the lanyard.

Sometimes the company is so low rent it is embarrassing.

Now you know what keeps Graham up at night. Not training by memo or our secondary barrier video on YouTube. Outstanding Delta Standards!!

I have to admit my morale was really high when I recieved my A 321 training on the latest CD. State of the art.



But this direction brought it back to a 20 on a scale of 1 to 100.

LCA's are not your supervisor, or management. That's CPO or above. If confronted by a LCA about a lanyard you might ask them politely who negotiated their LCA pay.

Chatted with a LCA in ATL yesterday with both me and F/O in orange. Not a word.

A large majority of the LCA's are independent thinkers and won't be the police of hats/lanyards.

No Police
 
I fly several times a month with LCA & did today as well. Not one of has said a thing about the lanyard to me. They just said DAL doesn't think they should wear one.

I think we have a fantastic LCA corps, but reference the above I heard that one wore his orange lanyard to the LCA meeting. Gutsy mf'er, if true.

FWIW I wore my orange lanyard for both of my 7ER TOEs recently and neither LCP (including a LLCP) said anything about it. That was before the meeting though....
