At FedEx we have guys still wearing sports teams, colleges, military branches, even company-issued aircraft lanyards after nearly a year since our contract expired. I’m always disappointed how much of it I see walking through AOC. Hope your folks do better than ours.

Just for clarification, why don’t you like guys wearing (whatever lanyard they want besides the ALPA one) during peace time? Is there something you’d prefer them to wear?

Oh man I bet if we wear the lanyard we’ll get at least $100 more an hour.

For sure and the first words out of Bendo’s mouth after last AIP weren’t, “can you take off those damn red lanyards now?”

Your sarcasm is toxic and you’re sorely mistaken thinking that management doesn’t care about them.

I heard Ted counts the number of pilots not wearing ALPA lanyards and lowers the TA by X amount.

The fact that we are able to speak with a collective voice - on our company uniforms - is not something to take for granted. Those that came before us would risk their entire careers for less and it was worth it to them. It may just a piece of fabric but what's important is what it represents.
