Exactly, most the time I take off my pants after wheels up. Why would I wear a badge or wings?

Why would you want to wear wings on your shirt? Were you mistaken for a sky cap on your last deadhead? Did a FDX ramp guy think you were the fueler?

I never have worn wings on my shirt, after 3 other airlines. Only worn them on that blazer/blouse thing. Sounds like all they would do is hurt you in the event of an accident.

Don't we have enough uniform issues?

With about 7 or so approved sweaters, yup I think you're on to something.

While you're at it, let's get the hat thing rolling again. I always laugh when I see somebody walking around AOC with one on. If we were all wearing them all the time, I would be positively hysterical walking around that place.

Uptight? lol, You seem to think it's bad to have no wings "like Pinnacle"... hate management, not the pilots....

NWA didn't have their wings on their shirt either, nor did Mesaba.

The sewn own wings look ridiculous.

We have them on our shirt, and that's not enough so we also get a name plate. 24 pieces of flair!

It looks snazzy but it's a PITA.
