Default Leather Jackets

Which...if any carriers allow their pilots to wear leather jackets instead of the regular Suit looking jacket?

I was wondering if anyone know if I can wear my leather jacket from Comair at Pinnacle? They appear to have different vendors but are they identical?

I saw pictures on the ALPA site with ASA pilots picketing last winter in them.

okay...seems like a fair number... now the question...how many guys actually wear them or does a pilot stick out like a sore thumb if wearing one?

I think they are both made by the same company, so I don't see why not. I think you just have to get the Pinnacle name tag
