Actually nothing, I like them, but a few years ago the guys around here made known that was a no no. And since I don't like getting beat up in the bathroom I only wear short sleeve shirts year round. No matter how cold I am.

Long sleeve shirts can be a common telltale sign that you are in the vicinity of a tool.

Other signs can be utilizing that "5th" overally, familiar strap of a 5 point seatbelt harness. I mean what type of maneuvers are you expecting to do.

I wear that "5th" strap on the harness for takeoff and landing. I heard that's how the Comair F/O lost his leg. He slid down out of the seat and under the panel. It does come off after takeoff, though.

Which is odd, considering this is the only industry where a short-sleeve shirt and a tie is acceptable.

Short-sleeve and tie reminds me of computer geeks.

During one of my classes, while discussing airline labor relations, he discussed his role in the Continental strike of 1983 and how he crossed the picket line. When asked if he regretted his actions, he bragged to the class "I'm proud to be a scab!" Even in those early days of my career I understood the implications of crossing a picket line and my jaw just about hit the floor.

He went on to describe how all his Navy friends at Continental had turned their backs on him because of his actions. During the strike, he would antagonize and provoke the picketers and then call the police on them when they reacted in anger. His justification for crossing the picket line: he believed the strike was illegal and that he was helping save the company.

Very much a tool of the day!

PS He wears his Continental uniform to class including his ALPA lanyard...oh the irony.

I have never wanted to punch my computer screen so badly. Tool of the Century...I just threw up in my mouth a little.
