Default Uniform Update

The way my schedule works out with Vacay, I'm done wearing the black... while the new blue isn't desirable, its better than the status quo...

Hopefully we can get the Shield and Prop back in the near future if HR hasn't completely taken over the IT with Wings company....

Could always wear the old LUAL tie tack on your tie, lapel, or ID lanyard...

Could care less if the wings have a prop, meatball, tulip, or Texas Air on it. I just want my darn zip tie back.

Spoken like a true CAL... you can order the zip tie... but you have to pay for it... and according to CAL culture, that might be too much

Actually there is no zip tie available as of yet. From what I was told the 'color' scheme is apparently trade marked and holder is not interested in production. I hope you are right though.

BTW are you saying UAL culture encourages paying for uniform pieces? Is that why some are clamoring for bomber jackets in order to have something to wear on layovers? The 8th Air Force 1944 look is pretty sweet...

Zipties were on the website in different lengths, one of which I ordered 3 months ago. Haven't got it.

As posted above... the zip tie is available...

Not saying U-culture says that... we were provided two ties... I was told the company wasn't going to allow zip ties as one of the provided options... but its there... I was provided one tie and one pair of pants at CAL... you can see why these guys go to Penny's. But what do you expect working for a glorified regional....

I haven't seen any CAL guys in the UAL Bomber Jacket Regional airline pilot look... I did see a U guy at an outdoor mall with his jacket and wings on... very cheesy.

However, most of the CAL guys will go to Burlington Coat Factory, Goodwill or their closet and find a black leather... whatever jacket... have already seen that...
