Nothing replaces showing up in Denver with your wife/girlfriend, or both. Wing ceremony in front of the Jeppeson statue with a nice dinner to follow. Spouse gets a tour of the training facility and is involved with our initial/practice equipment bid. Now we have evolved into cheaper, faster. Which costs more in the long run?

Bring back the half wing. These guys are on probation and will at times need cover in addition to the free beer.

I hope the Combined MEC institutes this, the sight of a half-wing would cheer up a lot of pilots.

I will call my current rep today and also repeat when we are one council.

I totally agree that it will be a welcome sight and morale booster.

I believe that subject has been decided already. The half wing tradition will carry forward. The better question is can I trade in my 25 year pin for a half wing?? I like the sound of free beer.

I will trade free beer for life for your 25 years of seniority - deal.

I'm a new hire and just completed indoc. The ALPA representative that came and spoke to our class last week confirmed we will be getting half wings. My beer mug will be packed in my pubs bag.
