Default Why are L-UAL guys wearing their old wings

Maybe it's because they can't have one of those EX-CON bag tags.

Why don't you go up and ask them if it concerns you so. Make sure you have an ALPA pin on your tie when you do.

in IAH, a Texas State flag pin, or any Texas college football bling is all the membership they need....

Maybe the same reason that CAL guys are still referring to "Continental" in their pax briefs??

At this point, who cares. This place is one big fat disgrace.

Maybe it just gives the uniform and the airline a little class.

I heard a Captain call it "United Continental Airlines" when I was deadheading on a guppy.

The FO I saw wearing his United wings yesterday in SFO didn't have his ALPA pin on! I guess I should have asked him many questions!!
