I didn't sign up for a payroll deduct nor do I need it. BTW I inserted a payment form when I ordered the jacket. that's what make it so strange.

That’s my point. Crickets from the union. Should have kept us up on what’s being considered and where they are with the process and choices. That would have allowed us to express our preferences. Just like every other airline. Not suggesting we’d have some veto power. But they would know what we wanted. Not this POS Members Only retread.

I would hate for the company to force us to that being the only approved jacket.

We have the Karbon jacket, leather and blazer at WN. I have all three and prefer the leather for colder weather and the blazer when it’s mild. I don’t like the Karbon at all. It fits me kind of weird, and I don’t feel as professional wearing it. Most here wear the leather.

I keep a warm but packable pullover in my bag for overnights

I see more and more show up every trip and it seems by far the go to option for most of our pilots. I can pack it in my suitcase and don’t have to drape it over my rollerboard while walking through the Airport if it isn’t needed at the time. Not something that’s possible with the Leather and not practical for the Blazer.
