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.

The biggest downside (as a non ACY person) that I see is that we would still do a ton of flying there, and if there’s no base, we’d increase our layovers there..... Not something I’d be fond of!

Are you offering?

Oh did I hurt your feelings about your jacket? Are you one of those tools that like to wear it?

9 flights a day is hardly a ton of flying. The main reason the base still exists is to put out fires in BWI, PHL, EWR and LGA. This airline will always need a base in the northeast.

Okay got it. I have you marked down as the one that does the walk around while talking on your phone.

But another east coast base makes sense as we get our way towards 177 (hopefully many many more) aircraft. There will be plenty of folks wanting that base.
But at the same time, the same could be said for any major airports that we have lots of departures at.

I could see ACY staying open as a very small base to continue supporting PHL, EWR and LGA. I also heard the grand plan for BWI is 90+ departures per day.

I’ve never seen any FO’s on their phones doing the walk so I don’t know what you’re seeing. I do see the northface jacket every now and then but who cares. 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.

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?

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.

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

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