Yeah, I don't get it either. Why do you care what's on my lanyard during non-contract times? I wear my ALPA pin and tie and even have that thing on my ID that says "Spirit MEC." Isn't that enough? What's next? You gonna yell at me for having a sticker on my bag that says something other than ALPA?

Same reason we don’t wear north face jackets or wear backpacks. It’s not part of the uniform

To be fair though, seeing several peers walking through FLL T4 with backpacks (dual strapped no less) is kind of embarrassing. Looks pathetic.

Stuff like that starts from the top down. At the regional I was at, we got fitted for uniforms. At Sprit, we had a union guy come in during indoc and give us stuff that other pilots had donated. That kind of set the stage when we were all wondering if our rent check was going to clear, while trying to fade a medical bankruptcy during training.
