I have and wear a nice north face windbreaker all weather jacket on overnights. Not when working because it, by nature of being different than everyone else's attire, is not UNIFORM.
That style of jacket is the uniform at Virgin, therefore it is uniform. When a crew comes up with 6 different styles of dress it doesn't look serious. It looks like a joke.
I'm sure you look sharp in your windbreaker but....
I flew with a captain who is a pleasure to fly with, friendly, sharp and a great pilot but wears those damn black reeboks.....

A db DFW FO, now, as of very recent, CA (lucky FOs ) took a pic of some CA claiming to have long hair and sent it to the CP.
Back in the day, this would have been dealt in the prkn lot with the former pro-standards officer, a 25lbs lead pipe.
As we grow snitching if becoming a more frequent thing.
I would check your story first before posting something like that. Maybe even ask the guy. If you did he would tell you that he went to pro-standards first who than turned his name and the captains name over to the Cp.

But you are correct we all should check with the perpetrator before posting anything, after all this may become a rumor board.

Not gonna lie. I'm sporting a NorthFace jacket, but only because it's wintertime. The places we go this time of year the leather jacket just doesn't cut it.
However, the Four Striper wearing white socks? Or a backpack? What are we, back at the regionals, flying a Barbie Jet?
Or the guy who walks around in his leather flight jacket after work... While still sporting the epaulettes?
(All the same guy, incidentally...)
Nice. Real professional.

NorthFace is not allowed just like gold stripes are not allowed. Have to be consistent, can't pick and choose.

Leather jacket - because the issued blazer fits like it was sewn by a pet monkey.

That being said, I don't condone black sneakers. I don't condone white socks. I don't condone walking around with a friggin backpack like you're off to high school...
Usually I'm sporting the company issued blazer, and when the leaves on the trees turn purdy colors I wear the leather jacket. But when the snow starts blowing sideways? All bets are off on outerwear.

Generally, I agree, but only to a certain extent. There is a limit to uniform adhesion when the weather is actively trying to kill you.

My issue is almost falling on my butt while doing the walk around on an icy ramp. Perhaps I should wear ice boots because it's more suited for the weather?
