Triggered alert! Thank you for saving SkyWest Airlines. C’mon, the pax industry is in some serious trouble and barely hanging on to the pilots they have, do you really feel justified potentially endangering the career of a fellow pilot for wearing a nose ring? How is her actions effecting your personal life. Lighten up.

 

Simp nation

 

Right, she’s the victim now? SMH.

 

THAT'S what you get from that post? Man, you have some serious issues.

 

Yea, what did I miss?

 

Nail on the head.

 

During my time at SkyWest as an LCA, I saw plenty of uniform violations (myself included, as with everyone), and I never reported anyone, just made recommendations - the few people who chose to marginalize others for small/insignificant infractions that somehow seem to go against their own righteous integrity have a long way to fall from their own pedestal. SkyWest is a small airline in a small industry, the ones who chose to go after others for petty issues, seem to find themselves with a rep pretty quick which seems to stick. The point is especially more significant now with an industry in crisis with furloughs etc, with no real employment options for others outside of aviation. It’s not a “victim” card, it’s about common sense and dignity to your fellow pilots.

Hold yourself to your own standard of professionalism, fly the plane to standards, don’t judge others, and be kind to each other - especially in a time when who knows what airline/co-workers will survive as you never know when you’ll run into them again.

On a side note at my legacy cargo carrier, nobody cares about uniform standards - plenty of arm tats, no ties, wrinkled shirts, and somehow we don’t crash planes.

 

Well put.

I think the point I was (perhaps quite poorly) trying to make, was I hope no one paints themselves as a target right now when it could be entirely and quite frankly, easily avoided. Be it uniforms, nose rings, social media, filming in the cockpit, non SOP, reserve roulette...whatever you please. Why risk what you have worked so hard for when there is no place else to go, the playing field has absolutely changed for all of us in the 121 world. At likely every airline in the country now you could and would be released from your job for things you may have not been reprimanded over anywhere nearly as harshly prior to COVID and that famous new buzz word "right sizing"

I genuinely hope we emerge out of this without too many losses of fellow crew.

 

You were an LCA and didn’t conform to Uniform standard? What specifically? I thinking bull or you did LCA to pad your resume. Not doing your job and letting other not follow the rules so you may be liked is not admirable.

 

Missing the point again, big picture. I bought my pants from Macy’s so they’d fit, did the black exactly match the blazer? No, but I rarely wore the blazer. Was my tie black? Yes. Was it of higher quality than M&H and had a barely noticeable different weave? Yes. Did my shoes get scuffed from glycol in the winter? Yes. All uniform violations. I even accidentally, once, went 251kts below 10.
