Ah, the leather comes back to haunt you again and again!
Do you do your regular tours in the sim? Do you not practice emergencies like "Smoke in the Cockpit"? I know that it's not likely but what is going to give you more protection-and thereby more time to fight a fire- your poly/wool blazer or a leather jacket!
How do you tell the CA with the trench coat over the blazer?
They should put stripes on the trench coat sleeves.
No way. Not even close. I just saw the Mesa windbreaker for the first time the other day. Up to that time, I just thought it was a flightinfo urban legend....
I can see how people would have a problem with the leather jacket, but a freaking WINDBREAKER???? How can a "professional" airline pilot even think of wearing something like that? YGBSM. No excuse for that one.
I'm not sure why everyone says a trench won't keep you warm.
It's a slippery slope, my friend. First, the leather jacket. Then a windbreaker. Soon it will be no ties. Etc... Our professional image is being slowly whittled down to nothing, and we're active participants in the process!
Adapt- change with the times....
UAL pilots wore all khaki uniforms.
Pan Am pilots wore no stripes on blazer sleeves.
Pan Am pilots hats were white.
