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.

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.

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.

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

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.
