Umm.. huh? I call myself that, and u extrapolate an issue? Puh lease. If your delicate sensibilities can’t discern the difference between a term of endearment, and a true issue with our own pilots not wearing an alpa pin, then I can’t help you.

I saw a 777 FO awhile back wearing his legacy wings, legacy epilletes, and a backpack. They’re out there. I really hope we can all focus on being professional and doing our jobs with integrity. No better way to do this than standing unified. We’ve come a long way and there is no reason for a slick tie at our airline in today’s environment.

I’m the same. Not seen a single person in “legacy” gear, and tbh only had 1 FO out of uniform with his tie. I gave him one out of my bag and he wore it for the rest of the trip. He may have tossed later but I think after 4 days he had a better understanding of what it meant to have his/her fellow pilot’s back meant.

Guppydriver, time for you to jump off your "high horse" now! Yes, you stated, " We still have a certain group of f/o’s who are still butt hurt from their “perceived” injustice on the seniority list after the merger and refuse to wear their Alpa pins." You seem to forget the "butt hurt" group in all your subsequent posts! I wouldn't have a problem with you calling out ALL pilots that don't wear their pins. Not just the part where you call out a WHOLE base because, of your apparent bias towards that group. I'm not sensitive, since I'm not part of that "butt hurt" group. Just getting a little tired of YOUR group always trying to make another group look bad. Keep up the good work on your UNITY drive though!!!

Swing and a miss again. The poster was discussing moving to Iah. This is an issue in Iah. Anyone who’s spent any time there knows exactly what I’m referring to. Try and focus. This isn’t about calling a guppy a guppy, legacy wings, or whatever other distraction with which you want to try to create a false equivalency. We still have a culture problem in Iah, whether you want to acknowledge it or not. No high horse dismounting required.
Stop using we. You only speak for yourself. You do not own the culture perception of a base consisting of thousands of individual pilots. If you perceive a culture problem I suggest you look in a mirror and start reconciliation with that guy.
