Leather jackets remind me of low wages. Good riddance!

Yeah, grow a beard on your days off. For a good many, this will be just another opportunity to look sloppy in uniform. We’re trying to run a business here.

No one GAS what anyone wears. If you like your leather jacket, it probably looks more in line with the standards than no hat, no tie & a northface jacket which is about as equally common.

That’s your opinion bucko . I know of several senior guys that still plan on wearing their leather come this fall . I really doubt if anyone will give 2 sh!tz .

The majority of the flying public DOES care what we look like. We should care what we look like. If you can’t dress yourself, look sloppy, people start wondering how in the world you can fly an airplane. Spare us the “but appearance doesn’t make me safe” argument. We signed up for both.

Senior guys? As if that adds some sort of justification? Are they allowed to do whatever they want because they’re “senior guys”? 😂

IDGAF pilots that had their pension stolen will wear the leather regardless

I was able to find what I think was some competition for the SFO 777 FO and his man bun last week. A 75 CA that took me out to SFO last week from EWR. This dude who was great doing his PAs and got us in 30 mins early, had the nastiest mullet. He seriously looked like his hair hadn't been washed in weeks. C'mon people have a lil pride in your appearance.

I think we found the hat warden. The public thinks you’re a gate agent.
