New doctors are generally as poorly paid as first year NK FOs, but the ones I know mostly wear scrubs from the surgery suite locker room.

And while lawyers from the top tier law schools do quite OK, those from third tier schools don’t do real great either and can’t even wear scrubs to court:

Do their fleeces have a 4-6 month ordering backlog? Asking for a friend.

Ohhhhhhh....
I get it, I'm suppose to freeze my ass off all winter, it looks more professional. Got it.

Just buy some generic black jacket from Costco. No one cares.

Yeah, why should anyone wear a uniform. Let’s just wear whatever Costco has in their bargain bin.

If the company provider is back ordered, what else are you supposed to do?

Sounds like an awesome question for your chief pilot. They write the manuals, theymake the rules. If someone can’t get a new jacket within 3 months, sounds like it’s an easy email to Rodosta and ask what his office wants pilots to do. Seems if I were a probationary pilot I would much rather get the answer from my boss vs going Costco because the interwebs said so.

It’s really not that hard. If they don’t have the piece available, you ask your boss what his plan is. If he says “wear Costco” then wear Costco, they write the manuals.

But if I were probationary, I would like to get my boss’ views before I color outside the lines. No matter how much forum folk say to do it.

Is this a thing in your base now or something? New hires specifically getting punished for uniform non compliance? I’ve literally never heard of this besides your single post here in over 5 years.

no….new hire FO’s leaving in droves. No shows in classes now. They don’t care as long as you show up to work looking somewhat like a pilot. Let them know how you feel during your exit interview in your way out to a legacy.

Yeah, that’s how I’ve always seen it too. Comical to think back ordered jacket compliance enforcement is on anyone’s to do list.

Nah, we have always had guys, new and old, dress like trash. Way before anyone ever knew the phrase “supply chain issues” we had guys wearing their north face jacket as their company jacket. The irony this thread is going on while another is requiring industry leading pay…

The question was “what’s the poor new FO supposed to do if they can’t get a jacket”. I said, “ask the CP and see what his plan is since he writes these manuals and knows there are no jacket”.
