Default Winter Wear Enforcement

Newish hire question:

How strict is the enforcement of winter wear say when an FO is outside doing a walk-around?

Would it really be frowned upon wearing a generic all black coat or jacket?

What are the folks on the line doing, or do you have better suggestions for company approved outerwear?

Posting about circumventing company policy as a new hire is rather bold don’t you think?

Fair enough!

Lets just rephrase with:

Wise mentors, please advise; what company approved outerwear do people prefer and through which vendors?

Leather jacket - the Perrone if you can locate one. Head over to crew outfitters, they can tell you what your options are. The half Wallace trench is not approved.

I guess some people like the sweater, but rumor mill has it that is going to be removed from the approved list entirely.

Why would they remove the sweater?

Someing along the lines of the MSP base chief doesn’t like it, and is pushing for its removal. I don’t know if that will have the traction to actually remove it though. Not even sure it’s true.

While I wouldn't recommend testing the limits of probationary pilot status, I do know of a young (and devilishly handsome) FO who wore a black London fog that looked very similar to the trench during his walk-arounds. It also had the added benefit of not making him look like he shouldn't be within 100 yards of a school. Literally just used it for walk-arounds and overnights. Stay warm, don't get sick.

I just tough it out with the blazer. The trench coat is terrible, and I am too poor for the leather jacket.
