I didn’t say I prefer the leather jacket either.

right... you like the admirals blazer. Don’t worry Deltuh is hiring soon I’m sure. Get your app in, so you can rock that uniform, Admiral Halon.

I rock them all. I like the blazer for the spring time, enjoy the Karbon in the winter, and my leather is in the closet on the off chance I ever want to go retro. I’lol be happy if the pilot group can just wear one of the 3 jackets we have and not go all NorthFace like years past.

You sure do seem to have a chip on your shoulder. I guess you didn’t do so well in the Delta interview years ago or did they even offer it to you?

Can we all agree that there isn’t a good looking uniform jacket in any industry? Do we want Spirit hoodies so we can look like tech bros? It’s not hard to pack a regular jacket in your bag for overnights. Also God forbid a pilot looks like a pilot in the airport. I know all those passengers are wishing we didn’t look like pilots. How embarrassing it is to walk up to the counter and notice we’re the only people at the gate not dressed like Philadelphia Collins. I think we should just eliminate uniforms all together and change the name of the Company to Air Monarch operated by Cell Phone Holster and Tucked in Polo Shirt Express.

Sure, but some are far worse than others. I feel like the AA branding is old and dated, certainly due for a more modern look. In comparison, the NF jackets look better in my opinion and are way more functional.

Pilots used to have to carry around 40 lbs of paperwork in a leather case, that has largely gone away to canvas style bags. Just because the look changes doesnt mean everyone looks unprofessional. I have seen pilots from every airline in every type of uniform look horrible. Just because it "looks" professional doesnt mean it is pulled off every time.

They all look terrible on me because I have a beer belly. But either way, I prefer the blazer due to its light weight and it fits me more comfortably than the others. Easy to get tailored to fit whatever body type you have. The leather is terrible, it isn’t long enough and looks dumb on me, other guys seem to pull it off so ymmv. The karbon is ok and in the dead of winter I’ll wear it if my overnights are all in cold cities. Most of the time it sucks lugging around the heavy leather or karbon and only wearing it for the 5 minutes you’re waiting for the ride to and from the hotel.

I like the blazer when in uniform and usually bring a rolled up puffer jacket in the suitcase for the overnights.


These are just opinions, you know what they say about opinions...

I liked the Southwest (IIRC) North Face style jackets I saw around Sea-Tac. Lightweight, clean looking, don't have to worry about wrinkles. Look better and more professional than leather jackets. Lighter, more compact, and good in the wind as well.

I agree with this. Nothing worse than the hot leather jacket in the terminal. So you take it off, put it on your bag, and it weighs 10 pounds, falling off the bag..what a mess. That Karbon sure does heat up too when indoors.

If it wasn't for the occasional wait for the hotel van in the cold, I would be 100% blazer in the fall and winter season.
