ASa pilots don't have to wear uniforms any more!

[OCP]

At least if you take your que from your chief pilot who lives in Agusta and has the name of a famous singer. Congrats all to the new rules! Way to lead by example RC!

 

[LazyLightnin']

Not to bust your bubble, but he doesn't share his name with a famous singer. Maybe if Randy Travis and Johnny Cash had a baby.

He is a chode, though. I hear he used to offer mustache rides to get female FO's through training.

 

[OCP]

Damn. Well that is how much country I listen too. Though I am a big J Cash fan. Oh well.

Why would he be servicing the female FO's to get them through training? Wouldn't they be servicing him?

I herd his Mustyache aint reel.... itz a Herpize.... like a toupe'

yeahhhhhhhhhh bouyyyyyyyyyyyyy...........

• There will be no exception to the uniform policy unless the Company
directs the exception (i.e., an emergency trip coverage situation).

I'm assuming that it at his discretion huh?

 

[SLUF4]

Probably no other pilots to cover a trip so he jumped in.

I never understood this. Chief Pilots and Mgmt have offices. In those offices should be a uniform. If a trip needs coverage that bad, they may then place said uniform on themselves and go fly. The CP at our company used to do that all the time too, and then yell at people for not wearing their hats! That didn't go over well coming from a guy flying in a polo shirt.

 

[SLUF4]

I hear ya...scheduling has been known to pull our pilots out of training to cover trips-wonder what you do then? I don't bring my uniform to RGT with me.

 

[OCP]

Nope it was an AGS overnight that he took. I could almost give him credit for the leg from ATL to AGS. Maybe he didn't have one in ATL. But same thing from his house back to ATL. He was then extended to do more flying.

 

[SLUF4]

well, that is interesting

 

[NotTooBad]

The umpire may be wrong but he's still right. Pick the battle I guess.

 

[Freebrd]

yeh too bad commuters don't have the same option to bounce a Capt outa his throne so the man can get home. hearing he has a FA gf too, sneaks out on layovers, get it, lay-over

If instructors fly with no notice they can go without a uniform. Or if a check airman removes a pilot from the line he may have to fly in civies to cover the flight. It's nothing new.

I know it is nothing new for the above to happen. But what RC did is completely different. The trip was already covered and he took it so he could spend a night at home. And on top of that flew both legs with no uniform. Is that what your "leadership" should be doing?

 

[Abernathy]

RC, the same guy who sends FOs home for not wearing hats, regularly flies without uniform. He does this sometimes to and from Augusta as he commutes. These aren't isolated incidents. It's pretty well-known on the line. It's too bad that no one tells him that the way he wears his moustache is against company policy.

 

[SLUF4]

yeah; it has to be no longer than the width of your mouth right?

 

[Abernathy]

Something like that. He's got the gay-porn thing going.

 

[bigshooter107]

I have heard a few things from about RC from my FOs but he has always been helpful to me. Memorial day weekend he was covering trips for a couple of guys who had family plans. Who cares if a chief pilot wears a uniform in the cockpit, they can get snagged in an instant to deal with a variety of issues. Atleast if they are flying they can see some of the things we see on line every day. All of our chiefs are training guys get them out there as possible.

Do you not see the pattern? He treats FO's like KS treats his women.

Good luck proving that. That's a load of bull-excrement. More likely, enough people called in sick that he had to pitch in.

If a chief is going to enforce the hat with me, then he needs to fly with a uniform....I don't care if he flies with a uniform as long as he doesn't give me grief for not having a hat....Either enforce the uniform from the top on down, or don't....no in betweenies....

 

[the palm]

Yeah, why cant the CP's keep a spare uniform at the airport?

 

[JumpersAway]

Cut the guy some slack. Fly low, and beat the radar. If you fly without a hat, stay out of sight. everyone knows he sits at the top of C- so just use the elevator where our old ops used to be and walk down.

I've flown with Randy twice, neither time in uniform, up to Augusta. Both times he was sure to ask the captain that was scheduled the flight, if it was alright if he flew it instead, just to keep up with line flying. Both times the captains concented and slept their way east on the jumpseat or in the cabin, getting the same pay, for less work. At least he's trying to stay in touch with flying the line, so he sees what's going on operationally.

I don't have a problem with it, and I'm too apathetic to care about something like this.........

So I'm supposed to wear a hat, yet he doesn't have to wear any uniform at all? Sorry, but that dog won't hunt....I like Randy, but he needs to practice what he preaches....otherwise I don't want to hear his sermons....

People will cut him slack if he cuts them slack....otherwise, what's good for the goose is good for the gander....

 

[Flybywire44]

I feel bad for any FO who flies with RC.

I think you are correct. Your Morehouse University education has served you well...

You don't have to wear a hat- you just have to make sure you don't get CAUGHT not wearing your hat. It's only a foul if someone blows the whistle................

 

[skyman50]

I may be wrong but,......I thought you didn't need to wear a hat except during the months a jacket is required. If you wear a jacket you must wear your hat.

 

[twott driver]

You are not only not wrong, but entirely correct. Well done young man.
