His pants at least fit properly. Better than a couple up there.

ALPA decided to crop out this guy because they felt he didn’t personify the image of a professional pilot; the face they want displayed to the public.

Like it or not, this is a FACT.

If only we had a way to “crop out” the rest of the guys we have that continue to look like slobs on a daily basis and wear whatever “uniform” suits them.

Does the company even offer a uniform hat for those who want to wear one? I have nothing against those who decide not to wear a hat or jacket, but sometimes there is a time and place that calls for wearing a hat and jacket.

Give the guy a break. Nobody here knows what transpired to end up at this picture. I agree he doesn’t look nearly as professional as the other pilots but who knows what was happening. He could have just come out of the bathroom when they called him over for a quick picture. Maybe he was walking down the hallway and they grabbed him. If anything this picture should have never made it onto social media in the first place. Also give the guy some credit at least he’s volunteering.

No “ hot button “ item is too small for you know it all keyboard warriors to blow out of proportion.......

Yeah sure, that could have been possible. But let’s be honest, the fact that our pilot group collectively has a history of looking unprofessional on duty doesn’t help his case. (Backed by many chief pilot and union emails stating such, not solely my personal opinion)

I agree. Looking professional is definitely a small issue here but throwing this guy/volunteer under the bus doesn’t fix anything. Not to arm chair quarterback but if I were in that situation and saw how the others were dressed I would have a either put my blazer on or if I didn’t have it sat that picture out but maybe he didn’t realize this was going to be posted to ALPA’s social media accounts. I also think whoever is running ALPA’s social media should have seen that and either changed it or not posted it to social media in the first place.

That’s the truth. The United FO’s get- up looks disheveled. His pants, and jacket need about $200 bucks worth of alterations. Hint: If you’re wearing a vendor jacket you didn’t bother having tailored, it looks like costume rental crap. The sharpest looking uniforms I’ve seen are personally modified suit jackets.

You can keep your double breasted jacket and MacArthur styled captain hat. He’s got Lafawnduh and a hot mix tape in in his pocket, and that beats profit sharing every day.
