Leather Jacket

Boy, I’d love to pick up and help out in this cold. If only I could wear my leather jacket and not my synthetic doofus coat that makes me look like a customer. (BTW it was delivered to my old address, so I actually don’t have one. And oh BTW this was AFTER I received uniform items delivered to my new address) #only@jetblue

How are we NOT allowed to wear the leather coat? WTF?

Had a buddy CNX commute Sat AM flight, his Sunday flight is CNX from the IROP CNX package but he’ll never be able to report because the commute is CNX. Calls. Gets a missed assignment. He’s like well, I would pick up this DH Open time trip that I can get to from my house and Crew Services says Nope you can’t do that. He’s like, well, you’re going to need someone to do it. They get a supervisor. He gets a lecture about the MFA then they let him help out. Seriously, what a f-ing team we got here.

I prefer the overcoat. Much warmer.

Overcoat is great. I’m incognito and in uniform compliance. Win-win

Do we know where we’re at with the grievance for the $200 they snuffed out of our uniform banks?

Got the “DFW to BOS is in jeopardy can you help?” email this morning. If only I hadn’t dequaled as an FO weeks ago when I completed CA training. Expected OE? 2 more weeks. Expected fed ride ? 2 more weeks after that.

Not fashionable enough. Replaced with wool coat. Looks like you’re a stockbroker about to get on the subway. Which is okay I guess, unless you’re 30 deep at the gate trying to Jumpseat and want to look like a pilot. Some like the incognito effect. I don’t. Wool is awesome when preflighting in the rain.
