What about zipper ties??? I wear one of those... oh, and I've never worn my hat, I am a horrible person and a disgrace to the company.... nevermind the CAs (8+ years at XJ) in my class that sincerely told us (newhires at the time) to not worry about wearing the hat.
That's what you get for listening to "Junior" guys
Guys this job is about as easy as it gets. If you need guidance about uniforms etc........it's probably in the FOM. If you heard something else, it's their opinion. Stop by Joe's office I'm sure he could give you some fashion advice.
Forget fashion advice from Joe... I want to know how I too can get a boat named "The Extra Tenth". imp:
I agree with everything said but just as a side note, I've only regularly seen 2 guys wearing the black fleece in lieu of the coat in DTW, and they are both rather well liked captains who've been with the company for quite some time.
Hey! There is enough people around here trying to tell me what to do. If I want to listen to music or a ball game believe me after 30 years here that's what I'm going to do. You remind me of the manager that told the FA's not to eat ice cream cones. Get a life.
I am chief of a 135 company right now and I can tell you that pilots are like 1st graders. If you make a rule and don't enforce it they will walk all over that rule. Enforce it they will complain a little and a few days or weeks later the problem will be over. If they don't stop complaining then maybe the rule is unreasonable, change it.
If XJ was serious about this rule they would enforce it. If the FAA was serious about this rule they would enforce it.
By the way flap operator, there is a law on the books in MN that says all bathtubs have to have legs. Do you think that law is enforced?
I follow the rules, but how big of a deal is this thing anyway? Management doesn't enforce it because it's not important to them.
They didn't enforce it when they had 5 chief pilots...at least one in each domicile. Why would they start now. I have not seen a CP care about the hat since Jim R in DTW ala 2001. When NW went optional the fight was conceded. Maybe soon we can worry about hats... and double breasted suits for that matter, but for now give it a rest.In theory you are correct...in reality, XJ has one (yes ONE) chief pilot for 1100 pilots scattered over 3 domiciles not to mention outstations...enforcing the hat thing is next to impossible and XJ's having problems keeping up with day-to-day things what with all the hiring and growth...so it's not the same as enforcing the rules at a small charter outfit or flight school...
