Give?? The only uniform piece that they give you is a $9 set of wings along with an order form so you can order the other 14 pieces of metal that you have to pin on and around your person to get suited up to fly.

You buy the uniform and most of the brass.

Abbot's and Crew Outfitters will have some deals for ya. Should get out the door for under 500 bucks. :eek:

Yeah. I had two jackets/blazers at Northwest. I thought I would get two for DAL, until I found out how much they cost. :eek:

I only have one and take very good care of it. :rolleyes:

Wear your hat
Don't use cheese grater if you're not on company business
Sign up for Delta Pilots Mutual Aid
Listen to guy talk about how to get help if you're an alcoholic
Wear your hat
Network guy tells you Delta is doing wondrous things
Listen to scheduling guy tell you to always answer your phone
Hit the soda machine when the PBS guy fails to show up for his allotted hour
And don't forget to wear your hat

Not sure how it was done previously at Delta, but I have to assume that they have incorporated a little bit of NWA into the indoc class. I assume the part they incorporated was the scheduling gal telling each class "get ready because you will all be captains in 5 years" (I heard this as a new hire and when coming back from furlough) :rolleyes:

$21 at Costco. I've found them as low as $9 and I actually like them better than the two pair of $70 pants purchased (and never worn) from Flight Station.

Flight Station's easy to work with, but their quality is not up to the standards of Abbott. If the chance comes up to get a new jacket, I'll go back to Abbott's again.

That depends on if we keep the flow down. The good news is I'm already Typed in the Equipment :cool:

I keed, I keed, ... we're hiring.

The Kohl's pants also have a stretchy waist to compensate for beer expansion on your overnights. Hey newhires....the captains buy beer at least one night on every trip...honest!
