Compass Updates - Saga Continues
#9371
Better yet, everyone should be minding their own business and worring about themselves. You shouldn’t have a problem with anyone else’s uniform (unless they have a stain/tear or their wings are falling off). If someone isn’t wearing wings, hat, jacket, scarf, has stubble, wrinkled shirt... needless to say they know about it and don’t care for anyone else’s opinion.

[QUOTE=Slowhawk;2470847]A. Wearing of the uniform will be limited to when on duty, when on special assignment or when in transit to or from duty.
B. PICs and SICs will only wear a complete uniform as described below. Other items are not authorized.
D. Uniform combinations or variations other than those stipulated below are not authorized.
6-16-6
Hat
A. Compass Airlines hat emblem and hardware as sold by the designated Company uniform supplier will be worn when the pilot is in public outside the aircraft.
It’s crystal clear in the FOM. Either you’re in compliance or you’re knowingly breaking FOM.
Yes, no one should get reported or in trouble for this.
But honestly? No one should ever have to report it, or discipline someone for it; because it should simply never happen. It is so easy to control that it should be an impossibility. We’re airline pilots, not 14 year old girls fighting the school dress code. This shouldn’t be an issue, especially with Captains. Obviously it is becoming a problem, so the company is enforcing it.

You know Delta asks (as an interview question) what you'd do as a new hire FO if you saw the captain not wearing their hat, or if you're the Captain and the FO is not wearing theirs.
The idea behind the question is to see how you'd handle the situation, or act as a crew member in general (think of it as an A hole check- is this guy one).
First you should inquire, hey where's your hat? (maybe they had something going on at home that caused them to forget the hat etc) Assuming why a person does something is never a good idea. Maybe they do indeed feel like the FOM is dated, and they don't want to wear it, but it's possible that they lost it, or forgot it.
Once you have determined the reason, then you can move forward. If they are going against FOM you can politely point it out and go from there. Escalte it methodically without throwing the guy under the bus immediately... running to management is a dick move.

Snitches get stitches. They also get put on lists that will keep them at Compass for a very long time.
It’s a shame to see how Compass has changed.

However you need to have your uniform perfect when approaching the gate and when in front of pax. Wearing the hat isn't hard either. I don't like it but I'm paid to look a certain way and fly the plane how they want me to fly it. When I own my own airline I'll fly in shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, and flip flops.
