Works both ways.
I wear my red clip, I have the old yellow Flight manual bag tag(because I wasn't given the new blue one), and an old United (tulip) bag tag because I wasn't given a new one...
And if I wasn't such a fashionista, I'd wear my blue overcoat, because s-CAL didn't pay for a black one (I am going to write off the one I bought on my taxes)...
Now for the pilots wearing old United wings with the CAL uniform.... that's a little over the top (IMO). I would wear my old United wing tie clip if it wasn't such a pain to remove/ put back on everytime I did my tie...

Good post. Just please keep in mind that the only pilots that have had their uniform paid for by the company are the sUA guys, every CAL pilot has had to pay for every piece (including the overcoat) since I've been here. Ridiculous to be sure, but it is what it is.

If you talking about the L-CAL "shiny ties", with subtle/now current UAL-Livery Globe embroidered on it......then yes.....those were former "Continental Airlines" ties. Until such time there's a Freddy-Gram dictating that we all are to wear the same/company paid for "suit", I guess we stick to what we have.

As far as the ID Tags go, at the end of the day, to each their own. Having recently spent time in IAH going through a "long course", there were plenty of "Red-Tags" abound. However, the one I couldn't help but noticing (felt bad for) was the guy who used a "red sharpie" to color his ID Clip. I honestly wondered when "Brother Bluto" would come rolling around the corner, next to the second floor coffee machine, and start issuing some kinda Delta-Chi handshake & Red ID Clip to this poor guy.

As I mentioned... the red clip and the negative perceived attitudes at the school house are connected... but I don't think it is that big of a deal...

Wow... so how do YOU define yourself? By them?

I wear my red clip, I have the old yellow Flight manual bag tag(because I wasn't given the new blue one), and an old United (tulip) bag tag because I wasn't given a new one...
And if I wasn't such a fashionista, I'd wear my blue overcoat, because s-CAL didn't pay for a black one (I am going to write off the one I bought on my taxes)...
So why actively choose the red clip if there are plenty of other passive indicators ?

Now for the pilots wearing old United wings with the CAL uniform.... that's a little over the top (IMO). I would wear my old United wing tie clip if it wasn't such a pain to remove/ put back on everytime I did my tie...
Some pilots were only given one pair of CAL wings with that creatively lacking square globe logo.... and the embroidered wings are too "MIL/Flying Club" stupid to even consider... would you feel better if they just wore no wings on the shirt? IMO....

Wow, that is borderline pathetic that someone felt the need to use a sharpie to color the ID clip. Poor guy...

I think we should take it a step forward have the scabs wear a different color.

? Just saying each side has their way of "identifying" who they "used to" work for.

So why actively choose the red clip if there are plenty of other passive indicators ?
'Cause it was free and I wasn't given anything else to clip my ID with while I was down there.

Some pilots were only given one pair of CAL wings with that creatively lacking square globe logo.... and the embroidered wings are too "MIL/Flying Club" stupid to even consider... would you feel better if they just wore no wings on the shirt? IMO....
I was only given one set of wings. They are on my jacket. We weren't given the option of ordering the shirts with the embroidered wings. So no wings on the shirt for me. Don't like them there anyway 'cause they get caught on the shoulder strap...

Pot? meet Kettle. It is funny that you would accuse sUAL MEC of "circumnavigating" an "agreed upon process" and mention the retro pay issue in the same paragraph. (I thought it was a signing bonus, btw) The retro pay issue was agreed to by the JNC, but the sCAL MEC wanted more. In fact they wanted HALF, even though sCAL has less pilots! I suppose by your above whining about how s-UAL got the "lion's share", you too would have been happy with half instead of the arbitration award which divided it proportionally. Your hypocrisy is epic.

Considering how your J dicked up the JCBA process, and how he has tried to manipulate the SLI process, I'd say what goes around, comes around.

Have a swell day!
