Airline pilot Epaulettes and shoes

[J777Fly]

Do pilots have to buy their own shoes and epaulettes?

And what type of shoes are regarded suitable to wear for an airline pilot?

Bieber hair and skechers.

I think it was Derg who had that picture from a job fair.

You typically have to buy your own if you want the ones with five stripes.

"Yes," "it depends" and "it depends."

I personally wear Ariat Ropers, but your tastes may vary.

Cowboy boots are just an excuse to wear women's clothing.

And what a comfortable excuse they are.

Hooker boot season is in fact upon us in the Northern Hemisphere.

Ariat ropers here. Don't know what I was thinking before.

As for the uniform pieces, check the airlines contract. Colgan made us buy certain items, then we paid back via payroll deduction. #Scam

There's a guy here who wears the equivilant of dress Skechers shape ups. USN knows who he is.....

 

[Tommay85]

What's the beef with sketchers? The shapeups are totally obscene though. Not near as gag inducing as the guy I saw wearing black "toe shoes". BARF!

When you work for an airline, there's an issue.

 

[Tommay85]

What kind of sketchers are we talking about here? Purple ones? Alley cats look like docs but don't try to kill you when it's cold out, and I see plenty of airline pilots wearing Doc Martins.

 

[Inverted]

Ecco's are the only work shoes I will wear. Screw the rest. Epaulettes will be supplied.
