We have about 6500 pilots on the Guppy and 2000 on the Bus.

Well, that definitely only makes my case that much stronger. Thanks for the update.

Indeed it is. I looked it up not long ago and it was not... It was for sale at the uniform shop, but not listed as approved in the uniform policy. But it is now.

Just reread that section of the book and holy Jesus was that section literally written by a lawyer? So thorough and specific, and aggressive.

With that being said, you see ink all day.

Just wait until they try to get our flight attendants to do a full cabin service every flight instead of one 60 second walkthrough chanting "purchases....?"

The old crusty CAs are in for a shock. Pulled up to the gate and saw the CA wearing black tennis shoes. Can’t make this up.

Good thing this is just “job” for them and not their profession. I’m sure most can find another gig for $45k a year

But yes, the fact they will have to provide attentive service on some flights, their heads will explode. Free WiFi but I can’t just sit and text?

It sounds like old school JB where we had dreadlocks and goatees and no real uniform policy.

Uniform police will definitely be busy with the NK group. Marketing/Brand department controls everything here.
