Back to the regularly scheduled "my regional is better than yours because we have more shiny wings"... My opinion is some wings (smaller) fit well on shirts and others (the bigger kind) probably weigh the shirt down for its size and wouldn't fit well... Because of this I suppose different regionals have adopted different policies that fit their uniforms best...

Thread from the dead, but closest to on topic I could find...
I'm curious as to what point in training civilian pilots earn the right to wear wings? It took a year and a half in the Navy, I'm assuming it'll be less on the other side.
I'm also curious as to what the design is, I've gathered that each airline has a different one.

Nothing makes a real pilot laugh more than the guy at a flight school or FBO wearing "private pilot" wings or epaulettes. Even universities that wear them as part of their flight training makes the wearer a tool.
Airline/Military pilots wear wings. Some corporate guys (sort of). Thats about it.

If it makes you feel good do it. Lol I never wear my issued wings on my shirt. It just gets in the way of the shoulder harness

I felt ridiculous wearing epaullets and climbing out of a Cessna 152, but the decision was way above me. Still, most of us wore the sweater over it all, which worked well in a poorly sealed Cessna.
