I like the wings on my shirt because it draws attention away from all the pen stains I hope my zipper tie covers up.

Whether or not we can agree the wings looks stupid, I can stand by the door after a flight saying bye to the passengers in a tuxedo or old Phoenix Suns Starter pullover and that won't change the odds some asshat from the back will say "that was a terrible landing".

Its just nice to see some employees taking pride in how they present themselves. I look like a slob :D until I wear the jacket. But that's what the company gave me for my uniform.... a tent for a shirt and......well, at least the pants are decent.
Some FAs look better turned out than the captain/FO.

Hard to take pride in your job when you're making 38k a year and the company tells you even that is too much.

I notice legacy airlines where wings on shirt and jacket. Old United even had two different sizes, one for shirt and one for jacket......and the hat was required back then. JetBlue looks as if it's sewed into the shirt? is that what it is?

Some regionals can't even get pilots to wear pants let alone wings ;)

I second that.

Don't get married to the job, then. Quit. You did not know what the payscale was when you signed on? Did you run the numbers? Or did you expect a handout?

Whenever I see threads like this one turn into several pages of nonsense, I can't help but think "man some of these guys need to get laid..."

Seriously...a thread about wings doesn't need six pages.

I am quitting, only a month left. Enjoy your "dream job" and the 40k a year paychecks.

Congratulations. Im happy for you. Being an airline pilot is not a dream job for me. Being a corporate pilot was closer to that reality. Now Im looking for stability since I have to think about my family. I have adjusted my expectations after being in the "flying" industry for more than 15 years.

I will seriously consider what you did, in a few years. I do understand it is a lottery system and I may not win.

Your bitterness shines through your posts, hopefully it does not manifest itself when you deal with those around you........

Good luck

and Bless God :p
