Any idea how many daily departures Southwest has out of BWI?

I mean pilots wearing bright blue pants instead of navy pants while sporting their wrinkly shirts. F/O’s doing walk around while talking on their cell phones, captains wearing their North Face jackets wanting to look like a d-bag corporate pilot. (Yeah dude you look cool with your black jacket and your navy pants) Sorry for that rant sometime I really am embarrassed for the other Spirit pilots I see.

...anyaways I have been hearing that rumor too. I hope it’s not true.

There's a lot of truth in the post unfortunately even if guys don't want to accept it.

Heard the BWI base is opening to accommodate all the additional flying from the purchase of 120 Norwegian Airlines A321's and funded by efficiencies to be brought about from the acquisition of Frontier Airlines.

LAS, MCO and BWI build them up, get the place running on time and sell it!

Seems like a minor thing to get yourself all worked up about. The leather jacket I wear isn’t exactly the sharpest looking thing and it’s approved.

How many other major airlines allow "wear whatever jacket you want to work?"

Leather jacket is approved, the "NorthFace" equivalent is not.

Its as simple as that. When you leave your house, you (we) make the decision if we want to comply with the uniform, or not.

You’re right, but why do you care so much what some other guys jacket looks like? Do you look at their shoes too?

If they were wearing something ridiculous like red sneakers or flip flops then yes.

Yup...I look at shoes. I'm such a douche because a kiwi kit is sooo expensive, especially for someone making six figures. Don't show up to work b1tching about being underpaid while looking like a lazy slob. It's not a good look.
