I've seen a lot of Mainline, 170, and the little RJ pilots wearing the ear buds lately. Do company manuals allow this? I would never do this because I believe I would look like a "dork". Also, what's with the Western themed trench coats? Are these guys going out to herd cattle? Will they be wearing spurs on their cowboy boots next week? Nerds, just a bunch of damn NERDS!!….:mad:

The downside of being able to expense dry cleaning at hotels--you have to look sharp.

Dear sir, the title of your thread says "Regional Pilots Are Slobs", but your comment above says "some" need to work on their appearance. While the title of the thread is an absolute statement and is wrong, I do agree with the comment above.

I had to chuckle about the spurs and herding cattle, but they are probable rain coats.

About 5 minutes in DTW and you can tell who works for Delta and who works for the regionals. It isn't that hard.

I think someone said it, but you do get what you pay for & what is in is reflected on the outside. Overworked & underpaid usually equal overstressed & that will show for sure.

Trench coat looks better than those stupid leather jackets. Last I checked none of us were flying B17s in WW2.

I'll be jumpseating home for the holidays on saturday. I will be carrying a backpack with me. Deal with it. I don't have any use for a flight kit. Who gives a **** if someone has a backpack. I think you all must have nothing else to complain about. I hope I don't give you all an aneurysm. Merry Christmas.
