How ironic. I saw a captain get off the plane we were taking the other day wearing one of these things. I looked over at my captain and we both started laughing. The Russian Naval Sub commander look is out this winter according to Joan Rivers. That thing made him look like and Eastern Bloc Dildo wearing a leg warmer.
Oh, it gets worse! Reminds me last winter at PWM saw an older Mesa Captain with one of the inspector gadget female raincoats...he had a pair of epaulets on the outside of his jacket!!! ??? If he was wearing his cardigan also, he would be sporting 24 bars on his shoulders that day. Hopefully he was doing because he lost a bet.
You can poke fun all you want, the v-neck navy blue wooley pully with epaulets, is our uniform issue sweater.
You can have your penny loafers and your faggot pukka shell necklaces. I gotta keep warm and follow company guidlines for uniform apparel. We are outside in all kind of weather monitoring the loading of our aircraft. It was 8 degrees F today, and I spent at least 3 hours of my day outside on the ramp. None of us has epaulets on our parkas and I don't wear shoulder boards under my sweater on my van heusen shirt.
If you don't like the sweater, feel free to meet me off of airport property and try to take it off of me, instead of snickering like a little chirping bird of a school girl.
Well now, the arguement isn't against sweaters, it's against the commando sweaters with elbow pads and eppaulets. I preflight when it is -10 F, in Northern Minnesota. I am also in a Saab, and we don't have no frickin APU either. But a normal wool sweater seems to keep me warm...
