Hats at 'Merican?

Pics of it?

They were the ones released a year ago.

So I take it you wanted doubled breasted. I was on the fence. I liked it but it was a PITA to wear. I'm happier with the single breast design.

What do you feel is different?

I may very well join team hat after the uniform changeover.

Mo breasts the better.

It is hilarious how wrapped up people get about uniforms.

Probably going to do the same.

I would just be happy if people just wore the company tie.

It grew on me.

Why is that, what's changed?

For one, I'm not required to buy the hat

I wore a hat at my last shop. I probably would have worn the hat here by now if it wasn't cost prohibitive to purchase with the initial uniform.

You're in the public eye. Welcome to the airline business!

Sewwwwww, was @jtrain609 a good captain?

I know -- I was in the public eye wearing uniforms of various types for the last 25 years or so in my last career. I get that people care how they look and what it is like to wear clothes that someone else has chosen for many hours of the day. People bitched about a lot of uniform things in the blue service I was in, too...and it was just as dumb there.

How many times have we had people here on JC tout the idea that, "its not your airplane, so fly it the way that the guy writing the checks wants you to"? Solid advice, even when you disagree with the guy.

I say the same about the clothes that same guy wants you to wear, and how he wants you to wear them, when you're doing that very same job.

Embracing that idea will save a lot of panties from getting wedged in a lot of crevasses over stupid stuff.

He is clearly someone JC can be proud of saying is one of our own. We had a great time.

 

[Kingairer]

Yeah , I get all that but this process of selecting a new uniform has been very much about feedback both good and bad. Once we are stuck with the new one, it is what it is and wear it.

@Hacker15e is covering for me, I bought him off.

wait so no more leather jackets with the first name on the name tag of "captain"

 

[skyw82]

no leather jackets and the cut of the blazer.

only check airmen get nametags

Nice running into y'all the other day. (If you thought that was interesting, you should hear @jtrain609 and I on the phone, or drinking together.) #madsheeit

Ah the good old days. Nothing like walking through Logan airport as a kid and seeing the WhisperJet pilots and L1011 gods

 

[skyw82]

Those same flight attendants are still flying.
