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

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.
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?

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

This is what happens if you don't wear the crotch strap
