Spirit doesn't want to pay the fines so all of the NK aircraft have a reflective vest onboard and company policy is to wear them during all walkarounds no matter where or when. Nobody I ever talked to minds wearing them, it's considered part of the job no big deal. If NK can afford to put them on all aircraft and train their employees to wear them, I'm pretty sure any other airline can figure it out too.
They do require that pilots procure and carry their own flashlights, but that's because people are far more likely to steal a nice flashlight than a reflective vest.

I have no clue why this is an issue.
If the plane doesn’t have a safety vest and it’s required for destination, fill out an ASAP or safety report. A few of those and there will be safety vests popping up in planes (assuming the safety department/committee is good and the FAA rep who oversees ASAPs isn’t asleep)
If it isn’t required, either don’t wear one or bring your own for added safety.
Really that simple.

I steal reflective vests. I have a whole closet full of them I sell them on ebay for $4.95. Want to buy one?
