I get being thrifty when it makes sense, a harbor freight screwdriver turns just the same as a snap on.

If you’re the head of a billion dollar internet start up and want to wear shorts and flip flops to work, so be it. This job has always had a uniform and it’s not a very expensive one.

For a lot of them it’s some kind of passive aggressive swipe at our uniform provider/ company, or bullheaded notion that mass production crew uniform providers will somehow just send that perfect fit to their mailbox with no adjustments needed.

Looking professional and dressing well is a choice. It usually requires a modicum of effort and money. Those that chose to look like a sloppy buffoon are just that regardless of whatever reasoning they use to justify it.

Even second year FO’s on our industry bottom compensated contract are making 2+ times the national average in income. Spend $4-500 over the course of a couple months and bother to look like a pro.

Try jetseam shirt and pants. Similar to ACA but seem to be a little better quality

No airline pilot on planet earth should be buying shirts from anyone but A Cut Above, end of story no argument :rolleyes:

ill take the free stuff...if its free its for me

I’ve spent three figures on a single pair of custom made pants (I have more than one pair too.) The fit, feel, and look is like nothing you can buy on the rack at a Dept. Store. I’ve spent years and thousands of dollars to get here. I like looking like a million bucks. It’s all priorities I suppose. Dress for the job you want not the one you have. I want Spirit lol, with Delta pay.
Flame Suit on.

so 72 hours/month at $57? Plus approximately $1500 per diem?

no, $1500ish total. dont get 72 hrs until you finish ioe and are released to the line.

or 90 days from DOH if training takes that long due to company. It does happen.

Are the pink slips still flowing at Spirit? Any word on a improvement of training pass rate?
