I've never had one CA or FO ask me why i'm not wearing the green lanyard, but I would just tell them that, "I have my own personal reasons"

This re-enforces my beliefs that pilots are almost impossible to lead. The MEC has asked a very simple thing, to wear this specific lanyard in show of our unity, and yet individuals are not complying for the multitude of reasons listed. I sympathize with your story but I know you can think outside the box and figure out how to make it work. Put your Dads lanyard on the inside of your work shirt, put it on the top of your bag so you see it, whatever. I know you can figure it out.
I hate lanyards. I really hate lime green lanyards.
Everyone should put their personal feelings behind and wear the stupid lanyard. its just temporary. We derive all our power from the group, not the individual. Those who don't wear the lanyard show that they don't understand this concept.

Lonestar is correct. It's sad at this point. Guys can't even wear a lanyard for a multitude of reasons.

Call it what it is - these pilots that refuse to do such a small show of unity to the pilot group and the leaders who are working for us are either selfish, weak or management sympathizers.

Look at the standing available list, it's still filled with guys (and gals) who don't care one bit about their off time.

Now for lanyard usage, do I have this right? I wear the cheesy alpa lanyard while I'm on my line, my regular lanyard when I'm flying ot (so as not to be a hypocrite as pointed out here), but what about swaps? How do I get a case like this brought up in front of the lanyard tribunal for an official decision? What is the number for the lanyard police, in case I see a gross lanyard violation?
If you are one of the non-lanyard types, you too will be assimilated, resistance is futile.
