Do those coming in with experience on the CRJ seem to have an advantage, because they're familiar with plane? Or a disadvantage because they think they know it all and actually they have deficiencies they need to realize and work on?
Also, in another post you said people need to be good on basic IFR knowledge- can you elaborate on some specifics? What sort of weaknesses are you seeing that could be shored up before arriving? |

Also, since 9E still has paper, one will need a flight kit it seems. Is there a more cost-effective alternative other than the $200 (or slightly under) for the leather ones, considering it will only be used for about +/- a year? Lots of flight kit options. A popular one is from Office Depot I think, lots of those hanging around the crew lounges recently. I think someone said it was like $40. |

Are leather jackets allowed?
I've seen photos of our pilots in hats, yet I don't recall seeing any guys in the airport wearing them. Are hats coming? Or staying away? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hats are optional according to our contract. For some reason the new hires all seem to have them, even though they don't have to. Among people who have been here a while hats are pretty rare, I'd guess 1-2% wear the hat. Are they going to be mandatory at some point? Who knows. If the company gives the union something to change the contract, then yeah, they'll probably become mandatory. Until then, do what you want. I find the hat to be a major pain. |

Any idea what the total out of pocket for uniforms are for a new hire? I think this $15 has be coming out of my check for quite a while now!

Well, shirts run $12-23, pants are $55, and a tie is $10 at endeavor.crewoutfitters.com. Assuming 4/2/1, that's about $200. Throw in a blazer for $150 (unless you want to be a real man and go leather), and if common core really works, that's about $350 before tax. At $15 a paycheck, that would be around 12-13 months after tax I'd guess.

Looks like Delta isn't the only carrier ditching 50 seat jets

Not sure about that. But even if they did it would only be about $100 dollars. I think the leather jackets are around $500. Emphasis on, I think

Well, $100 is better than nothing. They are $320: Commercial Pilot Leather Jacket
