Not entirely true.
There is a case of somebody on the widget forum being told directly by the NYC CP to remove the lanyard. A friend of mine was told it was an illegal lanyard during cq -- while wearing civilian clothing! I happened to have a DGS guy in the jumpseat yesterday and he confirmed that leadership has directed all instructors to tell students in the sim they are not supposed to be wearing the orange lanyard. The instructors are not to enforce the policy or make a big deal over it, but they are supposed to pass the message.

I have gone through 88 school twice. Some of the instructors on the fleet are great, but the worst in the whole airline are also on the 88. There are a few that are legendary.

I was DH out of a Central American city this am and the Captain looked at me and asked about my unauthorized lanyard. I told him that we all needed to start wearing it to show unity and that we stand with JM.

I wore it during my last 3 717 sims last week. No mention by anyone. Wouldn't have removed it had I been asked. I was not in uniform. I was wearing business casual as per the FOM.
And I hate lanyards.

Enforcing on the companys behalf. This is our pilot culture? Oh man.

That's not our culture. DL and NWA have a history of unity, especially during contract negotiations. There will always be those who won't wear it until everyone else does or not at all but will happily share the reward of a unified group. Lead by example and let those who are afraid do whatever they feel they have to do. Hopefully they'll be fewer and fewer as days go by.
