LOL that this is a jacket thread now! That being said, I hope we get a North Face type jacket like Southwest has. I don't wear one now but would gladly wear it. You know why?... it's practical. It will stuff in your bag when in San Diego or Lauderdale. The leather is just not practical

I care because we represent eachother when in public.

If a Spirit pilots is rude when jumpseating, it looks bad for us as a group. (Think of the tool in DTW who almost cost us our SWA JS privileges a few years ago)

When guys “wear their own uniform,” it looks bad for us as a group. Demonstrates disregard for a simple uniform policy, one can easily wonder what else is being disregarded.

And yeah, seems this has turned into a jacket thread. Probably because a large portion of this pilot group is just sick of seeing guys “wear their own uniform” like it’s anateur hour.

Probably one of the best thread drifts EVER! Base opening to uniform appearance? Pretty awesome! :cool:

Let me see if I can reverse course.... The Patriots CHEAT! Annnnnd, go!

I totally agree. I have mine shined regularly by shoe shine. I have an image to uphold. Shave daily and wear shined shoes. Take pride in one’s appearance.

Looks like I’ve struck a bit of a nerve. Yes I agree we should all be wearing the approved uniform and I agree that a uniform looking group commands more respect from our peers. However it’s not something that is making me lose any sleep at night. Probably close to the bottom of all the things that irritate me with this industry. If the Fo I’m working with shows up in a NorthFace it isn’t going to make me treat them any differently or even say anything. They have their reasons and if they fly well and are decent to be in a cockpit with then so be it.

We’re getting the exact same carbon jacket as SWA.

Then I quit. 😁 The very few I’ve seen wearing one look like ****tards. And you know ours will probably be all yellow with a big spirit logo on the back.

The sw northface jacket is approved for them and they look like a pilot because it has stripes. Our guys that wear them have all different versions of them and have no epaulettes so they just look like “some guy” instead of the professional in command of the plane when they walk up to the gate.

Patriots definitely cheat and Brady is too old.
