Not to start a flame war, but what's perfered in terms of outside ware?...the blazer, leather jacket or trench coat?
And are uniform allowances deducted out of your paycheck or paid upfront?

Most guys at least from my class went with the blazer and leather jacket. Mesa will pay for half of your initial uniform costs and cover the rest through payroll deduct or out of you're own pocket. This includes 2 pants 2 shirts, a tie, and one outerwear so either the blazer, sweater, leather jacket, or trench coat. The wings and epaulets are paid for and given to you before IOE.

My preferred outerwear is a North Face/REI fleece jacket so no one knows I'm a regional airline pilot.

Blazer you will freeze your ass off this time of year. Sweater is 20$, good compromise. I used to wear a fleece until ca's starting asking me why I wanted access to the cockpit. Can't blame them, I cannot recognize my coworkers if I see them out of uniform.

I see all three types of outerwear on the line. If you order from Abbott, the uniform allowance takes the form of a discount. Not sure how it works with M&H, I haven't ordered from them in 10 years.

It's almost sort of a cultural thing. In IAD and with former Chicago folk, I see more blazer and trench coat combos, in Charlotte a lot of leather jackets. Not sure about Phoenix.

Honestly, I haul the blazer around in Phoenix without ever wearing it. Des Moines turns are the only time I put it on. Kind of wish it wasn't required in winter months; it's just getting dirty, not used.
