Ouch, wife comparisons. . .

I'm really on your side, i've done two ferry flights here. First one in uniform because I didn't know any better, and the second in business casual. If there should be a third and after a lengthy stay on reserve I think sandals, blue jeans, and a dark side of the moon t-shirt will be the uniform of the day.

 

[SFR]

Absolutely..... I just can't believe that the captain would wear it.

I figure it this way. Try and leave on time and don't crash the plane...everything else is frosting on the cake.

I am so tired of the stupid memos on stupid ccs about stuff that does not matter..... They should focus on making a profit and stop wasting memo time!! they should be brainstorming new ideas instead of telling us to take off with the isolation valve closed... No kidding!!!!

Don't be a victim

He said that a memo came out that said we have to wear it on ferry flights too. I told him that is the reason I did not know, I don't read the memos...
Feedback por favor.....

I think it's a good idea to read the memos; otherwise you're at the mercy of every clown who misreads or even makes up memos, especially if they are aware that you don't read them. And once in a while there might be some really important and useful information buried in one.

yeah, but I don't care.. As long as I show up, not drunk or high, and try to leave on time....and not crash the plane.....honestly, what else is there?

Your brains. Don't sit on them. They're in your back pocket.

Nothing like some self-incrimination on a public message board.

I don't know what your rules are, but my only consideration is scheduling would try to hose you by adding a revenue leg of some sort after the ferry. It's happened to me, and I was wearing shorts and an old sweatshirt. I did the revenue leg anyway.... :laugh:

Scheduling added a 2 day trip after my training event. Got the notice just when I was about to DH to my base... Normally who would wear uniform to a training event, right? But at my old company, we were req'd to wear uniform on DH, so technically they were correct. Luckily I left my Van Halen t-shirt at home... At least i couldn't do any preflight for the whole trip

The problem with HMV flights and ferry flights is that if you complete them and there are no further actions required, they normally will will position the jet.
I have done that twice where we did not go to the hub, but to another city and pick up revenue.
I say at least bring it.
