AAI to SWA Training Schedule

[ATLplt]

So how bad are the uniform nazis at SWA? Any chance you can get away with the AirTran, A2 style jacket in black, or can you only wear the Perrone? Speaking of cheap-ass pilots, I found one for just over $100. It's the same exact brand as my current brown one.

Please purchase the correct uniform materials. There is nothing worse than flying with you cheap bastards that wear Dockers pants, Doc Martins, and a shirt that hasn't been pressed since the day it left from the factory. If you want to command respect, them dress the part.

 

[ATLplt]

Actually, I prefer the cuffs on the current jacket along with the style, regardless of price, but now that you opened your mouth I'll be sure to trade my nice shoes and always pressed pants for some Doc Martins and Dockers. Please, and I mean please, approach me in the concourse and tell me how shoddy I look to my face, jackass.

 

[wood pecker]

Any good wash and wear pants that don't stand out?

 

[DUBLINFLYER]

How much do you earn?????? - cheap skate - be professional at all times and don't shame the rest of your crew.

There is a nice docker pant that is as good as the uniform in wear and color, however, it costs more than the uniform one so I buy uniform pants at the company.

I think the uniform police would figure out the wrong jacket pretty quick, in the form of check airman.

In the last year I've seen (all captains) wear North Face jackets, their "personal" aircraft jacket and several ladies who quite nicely jazzed up the uniform to look feminine and professional. Instead of looking like frumpy mail women. One guy was questioned by a Kernal, I mean CKA, and he just said "it's allowed" and we walked away. The Kernal was still sputtering as we walked away. This place amuses me.

 

[scoreboardII]

Don't get me wrong, one popular option is to put on a jacket of your choice over your uniform, thereby covering all uniform identifiable items. Therefore, you are no longer, in uniform. I see it more and more. Usually Captains as they don't do walk arounds, and when you come back from the post flight walk, they are already incognito for the ride to the hotel. Harder for an FO to get away with when it's snowing. But even I have a North Face rain jacket I use if its pouring. Very amusing

Or when I witnessed and FO use the pullover for a DH...

Jumpseating CA comes on and says 'some guys might say something to you about your jacket'.

FO says 'you mean someone like you?'

Funny stuff.

I saw an FO in Potbelly's at MDW last Sunday and I had to do a double take, he was wearing the jacket and at first I though he was one of those very nice FA men till I saw the 3 strips on the sleeve, I thought these were only ceremonial jackets for photos, weddings and funerals

Ill tell you what...I never, ever wear my blazer. Haven't since the day I got on here at good ole' Southwestern Trailways. I wore my blazer to the silly commercial audition I went to last week and whoa! I've never been swarmed by so many ladies over an outfit! I'm telling you...they were ALL OVER ME! It's all I could do to get out of there with my marriage still intact...

(There may be some imbellishment in this story. But they were ALL over me...seriously!)

 

[Nindiri]

I generally wear the 2-sizes too small shirt to accentuate my immense gut, commanding awe and respect from the passengers. To enhance the look, I combine it with the also 2-sizes too small blazer with the one button straining to stay fastened.

Lmfao. Love the passive aggressiveness of some CAs.

Don't know if it matches the SWA pants, but Perry Ellis makes some that match the FL one. I usually buy those or Men's Wearhouse makes a wool blend that are lined to the knee. Both look better, feel better and last longer than the Company one, but cost more.

Pretty sure you could get away with that. Wearing a brown one might be more fun just for the reactions. I'm a windbreaker guy...hate carrying around the black leather one unless it is no sh!t freezing outside...that thing weighs a ton!

I think I know the look you are trying to create here, but to really "own" it, you'll need to add some pleated-front pants that are stretched to the point where there are no longer any pleats.

You could also "accessorize", with a super-sized drink cup from O'Charley's in one hand, and a bag from 5 Guys (or Popeye's) in the other.

When you are strutting your new look on the Concourse, remember to turn your feet in or out slightly; a pigeon-toed or splay-footed walk will work equally well with this look.

:laugh:

Dude

We seriously need to update the leather jacket

Useless to most of us except for that handful of mdw walk arounds when it's -10 out.

And talk about your '90's retro V backed look

C'mon- how on earth do we fu<k up the leather jacket?
Update the style- with a liner so it can be worn in the 60* weather without sweating balls

Blazers are coming back in style, I can feel it every time I go to work. From ops agents to every crew change I get to hear "nice jacket" or "where is your hat". Wearing the blazer is as close as one can get to feeling what it is like to wearing the wrong gang colors.

Awesome, I just made my choice
