Those funny leather jackets.

[xjlifer]

OK so I am sitting at the gate waiting on flight home. Up walks a pilot from another airline with a leather jacket on. Now Personally I do not like the leather jacket look but what the heck. Anyway this pilot has his epaulets on the outside..(as many do...again not a choice I would make) He takes off the jacket and is wearing one of those pilot sweaters. He has his epaulets on the sweater as well. It is a warm day and I am dying to see if he rips off the sweater so I can see if he will have a third pair of epaulets on his shirt.

Well lo and behold he does...and sure enough he has on a total of 3 pairs of epaulets! Sorry I just have to call dork on that one.

I wouldn't call 'dork' on that one.

I mean...each layer of his uniform is still his uniform. How would you like your pilot without an epaulets & FO/Captain stripes?

As for leather jackets, well, why do we think that a different form of uniform is better or worst? I know a pilot for a major airline who thinks the same about conventional cloth jackets as you do about leather jackets. If worn jproperly, all uniforms make you look nice.

This is what you came onto this website to post? So the guy likes his epaulets. Someone needs to revoke your flightinfo membership for a week.

Sorry guys & gals.....

It was me. I was about to take off my shirt and show you the epaulets on my t-shirt, but then I figured I'd have to show you the ones on my underwear also. Then I'd be arrested and miss my Jumpseat. Then the Press would be involved and someone would start a thread about me on FI.......

You should see how many pairs of sunglasses I wear at one time.

3 sets of appaulets on at once? He must of looked like a friggin' linebacker with all that stuff piled on his shoulders.
