Any comments?

I've had my Abbott's for 7 years and it hasn't even so much as had a thread go loose. Definitely worth the extra money. At least the old ones were. Not sure if they changed the jacket or not. They fit and alter them to you. Important since I'm broad up top. Their pants are better as well. I forget how much they cost but they hold very well.

Anyone got a link to Abbotts?

In any case they (M&H) are offering us 20 percent off if we buy in October. Not sure why someone would buy before the merger is official.

I am going to wait until the last possible minute to buy a new uniform just to be ornery.

Have they installed tailhooks on the ERs yet?

You cry about your standard of living, decry those who present different viewpoints with facts to back them up, complain that the world is ending and do nothing to change your course. You make nearly $100k if you're off probation but act like you are on food stamps. You even have a job. Ask the UAL, CAL, LCC and AMR guys how good their MEC has been for them?

If you hate DALPA, you hate the Delta pilots. Why? Because they are US you tool. We elect them to represent us. Don't like what's going on, volunteer? You surely have the time as you can have the time to post on this website and slam everyone behind a stage name. Instead, you will probably come up with some puss excuse as to why you can't volunteer to make some change. I would love for you to be privy to inside information and then burn inside knowing that maybe, just maybe, your wrong about our future.

Why are you even here anymore? If you knew oil was going to $100/barrel a month ago surely you made your millions shorting the market. Didn't know that? Well then, how do presume the MEC negotiate? With current facts or with an unknown future. It's like you going to buy a house that you will move into two years from now, but close on it now? Would you possibly lock yourself into a hopeful future or the here and now?

Instead of giving us your toked out ramblings that have no points and insults to individual persons, it would be nice if you could present some solutions. What should we have negotiated and why? What would you have done differently? I'm curious.
Excellent Post!!!

Here'a link to Abbotts' website.

Abbott Uniforms

In the top left hand corner there is a "NW Pilot Login" link that will take you to a specially designed login for you "transitioning" types.

I bought from them during indoc and I used them when I first joined the Navy, their stuff lasts a long time.

Welcome!!

Do you guys wear the tropical or shark skin? I remember the NWA shark looked a little washed-out...maybe it was just old.

LOL, No I am still around. I just got a little burned out on reading the same old arguments over and over.
