American Pilots Hate New Uniform

[derg]

Wonderful. "American" pilots, next to any international carrier can represent all of us as lazy slobs. Nice!

My fellow submarine commanders will keep it secksy for you @juxtapilot!

I like it... and I wish I could like my own post,

Yeah, you're right, professionalism is just so 1950.

I disagree. Professionalism is the responsibility of the pilot. I have seen single breasted guys wearing a crisp uniform correctly that looked far better than a slobby DL guy in his DB. It's the pilot not the uniform my man.

Soooo, I was trolling through my Reference Guide of Ultimate Ironies, and there was a picture of pilots discussing fashion.

I've spent a hell of a lot of time in the ATL airport. A sloppy DAL pilot is an extreme rarity. I don't know if that's because the company drills it into them that professionalism is important, or if their personality tests somehow screen for that quality, or if it's just because it's a lot harder to look sloppy in a double-breasted blazer and hat. But whatever it is, I see few sloppy DAL pilots, and a whole lot of sloppy other pilots.

Not that I've seen a big disparity, but I loathe how eaglevoy/aa and psapdt have the same uniforms, identical, to their mainline counterparts.

Why?

 

[Kingairer]

Ego mainly, quality control as well. Additionally it's just nice to know who is who. Practically, should a guy flying 6 legs in a dash 8 have to wear the same monkey suit as a 30 year captain (or FO in our case) flying an a330 one leg to London? But mainly ego.

 

[SlumTodd_Millionaire]

But mainly ego.

Since you admitted it, I won't give you a hard time.

If the paint scheme is the same on the outside, the uniforms ought to be the same too.

Same brand, right?

Quality control is obtained by not outsourcing half of it in the first place.

I think we can all agree that once the decision to outsource is made, kiss quality control goodbye for the most part. Uniforms are chicken-poop compared to the performance of the operation from there on out.

No hats, no ties, no blazers. The jet flies the same.

They'll both make a turd.

Touche sir

Maybe it's still my FO mentality but I'll take McDonalds over Ruth's

But Ruth's will give you a nice, solid coil. McDonalds will give you the Hershey squirts....

Why?

I hate it because flight attendants are always squinting at your ID badge to see if it says express on it or not. It's annoying

 

[learhawkerbe400]

Or every time you walk by someone in the express terminal in Clt and Phl they're staring at your badge to see if it starts with JS or EN. The first clue should be when you aren't lugging a flight kit around.
