CAL, uniform on ferry flights? Really????

[Whine Lover]

So...My bag was stolen/misplaced from the A/C and I wind up flying a revenue leg w/pax in jeans and a button down shirt. No big deal. Kept the passengers and the CP's Office happy.

Likewise, I flew almost every ferry flight I ever flew in jeans/shorts/ etc. and instructed the crew to do the same, if they so chose to do so.

The real Dinks were the ones that showed up in full uniform, complete with hat, to fly a six hour leg, from a remote terminal, to the middle of nowhere, at night.

Klowns.

Have you ever jumpseated on FedEx or UPS? They do exactly that, every day.

You just called a whole segment of commercial aviation dinks, which I always thought meant "double income, no kids" but whatever...

SFR, there are a lot of unemployed pilots out there that would happily put on a white shirt with gold stripes to reposition planes for CAL. Good luck with your pity party.

Bling Bling on the thing....bling bling bling ga bling....

So, you are one of THOSE guys! All about bucking the system! They pay you good money to do what you are hired to do! Why can't you just get with the program. You are so damn lucky to even have a job!
It's guys like you that have degraded this profession down to nothing more than a bus driver. I have worked hard to get where I am in my career.
I wear my uniform to ground school and also to Sim
events. I wear my uniform on the line, why not wear it in training? Train like you fly,fly like you train.
Why am I even wasting my time (or everyone else's) on this post? I hope you show up on my jump seat one day. You ,no doubt, will be wearing slacks and a button down shirt. You better make a rental car reservation a$$wipe!

Where would this interview take place? definitely not another airline.....

You are right, I gave you too much credit. You won't need to interview for Walmart.

 

[HOMER D POE]

Is this guy a real pilot? What an embarrassment to the profession!

 

[Ty Webb]

That is because you are not cool and are probably a robot.

Heh-heh. . . . Flamer vs. Flamer.

Yup, and I too wore my uniform every day ( and night ) I flew when I was a Freight Dog. The uniform was required. Silly I thought, but nevertheless, required.

However, ferry flights at my previous carrier were Captain's discretion as to uniform or not.

Only a weenie would show up wearing one when not required or necessary.

Burgundy,

Go to sleep.

The only reservation I'll be making is one to park my trailer in your side yard.

Your Wife already said I could....

I jumpsat on a Fedex flight once, from ANC to Narita. Both CA and FO hopped back to change into their "jammies." (Not together of course) There were 4 JS'rs on that flight.

BTW, Whinelover is still unemployed, I think. I am too, come to think of it. I just wore the uniform on ferry flights to get through security. Of course, the military charters wanted us in uniform if we operated into a base, though.

All you homos that wanna sleep in a tie, be my guess.

 

[Captain Morgan]

I don't know whats cooler;

You turning up to work not wearing a CAL uniform to fly a CAL flight;

You posting the fascinating details on the internet;

You telling the PIC and flightinfo that you "...you dont read the memos.."

Or you;

being collegiate on the post by saying "cmon guys ..you know i dont..." blah, blah, blah.

Do you honestly think thay 'guys' give a monkeys about you

How old are you?

Seriously...people like you embarrass what used to be a great profession....and the reason it 'used to be' is because wnnabe's like you dilute the ranks with your fratoligy bs.

But let me guess...you want to be paid well and treated with respect by mgt an co-workers...well sonny you have'nt got a chance of either if you dont read the memos and wear your uniform...but hey its not about the profession - nope..its all about you and your right to the wear the khakis.

get a life ...

*Applause* You took the words right out of my mouth.

Let me guess: gallon of hair gel in your hair, frosted tips, a backpack, and you read nothing but US Weekly in flight. How close am I?

What a loser. Just follow the damned policy. How hard is it to take off your tie and relax after you push back? Pilots whine about the stupidest sh-- sometimes. How 'bout whining about your crappy pay and the fact that your company didn't give you insurance for your first six months of employment? Seems a little more important than not being able to wear your Hollister shirt on a ferry flight.

So which one of you is the guy who gets married in his company uniform?

I got married in a tux,
but at the end of picture taking part of the day. I did change into my uniform for a shot.

 

[Papa Woody]

No, I did it for free. And I picked it up out of strait open time...

I thought I saw that trip in gay open time?

 

[Toobdrvr]

If anything, he should be going on about how COOL (or in his case, RAD) the Captain was for letting him work the flight anyway, saving him a trip to the CPO while at the same time assuming the risk that the Captain himself might get called in.

I'm sure plenty of your furloughed brethren would have been happy to fly in uniform that day...

I commute to work in uniform for the reasons above plus the fact that it means one less change of clothes I have to bring for the trip. Also, that way I can keep my Bananna Republic pants and Hollister shirt fresh for a night out with the "boythhh" at the Back Door club...

Cause we were sitting, we were sitting on the strawberry swing.....every moment was so special.....wouldn't want to change thing......

People living all the time inside a perfectly strait line...

actually, far off. No frosted tips, no backpack (that is an XJ & Comair thing) and what it US weekly? I did bring the latest HAR news on my last trip though (that is realtor crap).

Sorry, you are just not cool, can't help you.


BTW, it is fun to bang FAs in the family restroom
