If you look at the UVU website he's Listed as "Captain" like it's the same as a phd or something and he' still wearing that uniform in his faculty picture. There are other pilots working there as well but they don't wear a uniform. What wonder what his professor colleagues think about him.

I hope he sees this! What a jack wagon.

Hey, what do you have against long sleeve shirts?

They have long sleeves.

You've got to be kidding me.. people think not using that is a sign of being cool? Unfreakingbelievable.

I'll remove the shoulder straps once we're up and away and usually the "5th" about then. It all comes back on descending through 10,000. That 5th strap is there for a reason. I remember in the Kalitta forced landing down in Bogota, the only guy that got really injured was the FO who didn't use the 5th strap and slid out just like the Comair FO.

Easy, ladies... he's taken. (complete with the tacky embroidered wings and union lanyard that he scabbed against)

I never unbuckle. Even the shoulder straps. I know I am the only one but i also got tossed into an overhead once.

And I flew a Brasilia, so I was ready to be tossed at some point in the flight. It's amazing how the abuse from the early years never goes away.

Man I flew with guys in the -8 that wouldn't wear anything....no matter what. I guess that's a whole other level of not giving a F.

Does he know the uniforms have changed? Why is he wearing an alpa lanyard?

You mean they were naked?

Probably because ALPA "forgave" the strikers. It makes people think he was on the right side of the picket line.
