AAI to SWA Training Schedule

[freightdogfred]

Apparently you can't use the uniform allowance for the leather jacket, or so I've heard. I guess that's why they're getting the blazer.

$99 Costco bag is being phased out, get one if you can find one. They finally caught on.

On a side note, that RSWFO who was crop-dusting in Mr C's last night please seek medical attention

Are you sure it was a RSW FO?

I know we sent them a couple of skilled "applicators" who seemed to live on a diet of pickled eggs, cabbage and coffee.

:laugh:

Be man enough to call it your own if that's the case, but on the other hand...

You're surprised you had that kind of activity at Mr. C's? Come on now..

What uniform allowance?

 

[Ty Webb]

What uniform allowance?

Our Contract specifies that if a change in uniform is mandated, the Company pays for it. Doesn't apply to $400. leather jackets, unfortunately.

When do people bid for their unused vacation?

You know there is cheap and then there is stupid.

When do people bid for their unused vacation?

Early in the transition training and it gets awarded before your check ride. You bid on additional vacation slots for that class. So you don't bid on leftovers. Senior peeps will get holidays/summer etc..

Man, should we now ask if Air Tran is hiring instead of American when we encounter a blazer wearer?

I don't know dude. I used the blazer in cool wx and the leather jacket when it got downright cold at AT. Never mind the preflight, I hate waiting for the van if it's cold out. Cheap freaks.

I do the exact same thing Humvee.

The blazer is perfect for those 'shoulder months'.

The FATs are buying "cool" leather from some place in Turkey...need a new cow what's the name of the place...?

I wore my blazer home from new hire training 18+ years ago, and it's been hanging in the closet ever since! Now, it's inexplicably shrunk, so it's not even worth putting the 4th stripe on it.....

Ok so speaking of cheap. SWA is airline 3 for me. But have only had one blue blazer thanks to not working for a black uniform airline. I may take off the gold stripes and but some silver back on the old jacket ( still fits after 14 years... mostly).

Doing the same thing. Went from 3 silver to 4 silver to 3 gold to 4 gold and back to 3 silver or whatever color they call it.

I have 2 gray, a black and blue blazer in my closet. I hope to never wear them, or the flasher coat, again!

$410. Not as cheap as they used to be, but they're custom fitted. Perrone makes the company approved version. It's $400-410 too.

 

[freightdogfred]

I've got at least 4 blazers from 5 different outfits and 2 leather jackets. If the company pays for the blazer so be it, that's what I'll wear. I'll easily be identified as a FAT guy and I'm actually pretty comfortable with that too.

The RSWFO in Mr C's knows who he is, I could easily out him but not my style. All the homeboy vatos who were standing behind him know who he is too

 

[waveflyer]

I hear you on different coats freight- (6)
But you won't be labeled as a FAT
You'll be confused with Kuwitzky and kernals!
