Here is a funny story....but one thing first. I have my preference, i like them, whenever i see one, i think..."wow, a comfortable, warm, long lasting, and multi-functional coat to be used at work and look cool on overnights." That said.... last year i tried to get my airline to get them. I got a bad reaction from many.......i think they are one card shy of a full deck.....
Anyways, I was non-reving on a NWA flight and was talking to a NWA guy who was doing the same thing, who seemed like a nice guy.....but here goes the story. The first officer came back to talk to us, i saw his leather jacket, and mentioned how cool they were. He said he has gotten a lot of flack for having it. He said that many at NWA equat the new leather jackets as being a symbol of their lower pay and bad work rules.....he basically said the leather jacket made his life more comfortable and he thought those who thought that were idiots. Meanwhile, that other NWA pilot who was nonreving, had a scowl on his face and was shaking his head, obviously at the leather jacket.......
Now I say this.....southwest airlines has those same jackets......and their work rules are great.........so it must not be the leather jackets......and those attitudes by those who hate the jackets, they must hate themselves.....
I forsee if NWA buys XJ, the XJ pilots will be hated even more than those leather jackets.......I will say this.....i have known many NWA pilots....most are cool.......so to those of you who are NWA pilots.....and hate the new jackets...ask yourself why??????? Oh, if you do not like the jacket, do not buy one......this has been just a story.......not meant to offend anyone....even PETA (well, i do not care if i offend them!)
