Saying it for habit and actually enforcing it are two different things. As long as you don't enforce, that's fine I've heard just a handful of CAs and even FOs that do and most people just roll their eyes and look forward to the end of that trip. I had a guy tell me he just does it so he won't forget on a line/fed check. No problem.
Is typing the taxi clearance in the box pretty much the same as writing it down? I swear it's the same info being recorded by me just using different pieces of technology (pen and paper vs. digital). I'm a clearance typer simply because I can type it faster than I can write it.

Either way it seems like that would be more of a best practices thing vs an actual procedure.

Can anybody chime in who has the Leather Jacket from M&H. Is it decent quality? Comfy? Is the fit true to size?
Thanks,

It's not too bad and fits pretty true to size, but just get the blazer and call it a day. In the 2 years I have been here I've worn the leather maybe 5 times

Another good thing about the jacket is I can wear it when not at work and not have to worry about packing another coat/jacket. Just pop the wings off and you won't look TOO toolish.

You missed the point chief. The post I quoted stated that guys aren't getting the call because they have bad attitudes or they don't do the extra things. My point was that delta et al has no way of knowing this by looking at a resume or an application when they pull it and they are not pulling CVR's or ramp videos to find out so his premise is false. I know plenty of deadbeats who did the barebones minimum and have moved up by bull crapping their way through the interview. As far as being taken advantage of, if you think by doing the same exact job as mainline and being paid pennies on the dollar is not being taken advantage of, well I can't help you. The regional sector should never ever be thought of as a stepping stone. We are all professional aviators and should be compensated as such.

I like mine, never bought the blazer. Just take out the inner lining and it's a pretty light weight jacket. Plus, I don't wear it in the terminal, just bring it along and lay it over the bag. Some of the people think you have to wear it at all times during the winter, but i never have unless it's cold. I don't think the intent of our manual was to say it must be on at all times anyway, but who cares. If it's hot, take it off!
