As an aside, with the weather change upon us, how popular is a leather jacket at AS?
Who do we use as a vendor?
Gibson and Barnes Skyliner with wings seems to meet company standards.

There are no company standards in regards to uniforms. I wear the red headed step child leather jacket. Never seen a worse looking pilot group honestly. You get what you pay for.

Don't wear a leather jacket, you'll look like a dork. You're not flying a B-17 over Dresden in 1941.

Get a North Face jacket and avoid the mouth breathers asking you where baggage claim is.

so true…I just think the vx jacket looks great so I’m going to keep wearing it. The ones with the bottom elastic are atrocious.

Of all of the assaults on Pilot culture, the leather jacket with the flexi-fit bottom is the greatest self
inflicted wound of all.

Only a dork would think there were any Allied bombers over Dresden in '41!
The first leather jacket issued by the Army Air Corps was horsehide, had the elastic at the waist, and no slouch pockets.

Add that to the list of APC posts that may be technically accurate, but add absolutely zero pertinent information to the discussion. Don't worry, nobody will steal your red stapler.

There’s been a lot of talk about growing SFO and the Bay Area.
Does anyone know if there are specific numbers out saying how big they want to grow the base? I’ve heard maybe 400 pilots ? Anyone hear anything lately ?
