Threw it in my bag and figured I'd get it all switched out on my trip. Then I see the ring. I will figure out a way to make it work. I haven't worn anything ALPA in a very long time but I will show my support...but this thing seems about as well thought out as our contractual JV language.

I'm no MacGyver and I hate hanging stuff around my neck, including a tie. I will wear the lanyard though, small sacrifice. I even dug out my ALPA 15 (really 19 this year) pin and put it where the ID was. I can't remember the last time I wore that.

If you come up with the pilot proof setup please post it.

Will do😝 I've looked at half a dozen guys and seen about half a dozen different ways to do it.

Interesting yesterday. The NYC crew lounge had a pitiful showing of orange when I first stopped in. Went back later in the day when all the Int'l guys were signing in. They brought it strong...like 80% orange. Nice!

SEA CP told one orange supporter that he "has no lanyard policy". Has better things to do.

I know the standard as a new hire is don't make waves and keep your head down. Is there anything in the rules about having orange on your bags (i.e. Tags, handles, etc)?

dont listen to timbo (no offense dude). Think about it. You **** off the LCA or regular captain you are flying with and they will find something to write you up for. not worth it. everyone knows whats going on...you falling on your sword is not the answer......plus if you **** off enough people you may never get past probation and then not be able to vote think of it as a tactical silence

Seriously? I have never, ever, heard of a LCA or any other pilot getting his panties in a wad over contract, or political BS. Ever. Certainly not enough to write up a new hire. And unless the new hire is somehow broadcasting that he is indeed 'on probation', how in the heck is any tool bag LCA or Captain he's flying with going to know he is on probation?

I spent the last two days at recurrent in the ATL, wearing my lanyard, nobody said boo about it. In fact, two IP's were not happy that their fleet Captain had said they aren't supposed to wear it.

Anyone got any stats on how many new hires have been let go while 'on probation'? Any? If you pizz off enough people while on probation to be written up, it's probably because of your mouth, not your lanyard. Wear it and keep your pie hole shut.

You probably just got your career job. Don't F it up. The day you get off probation you can show up with a Trump tan and all the orange swag you can find. You are not needing any advise I know, but some patience maybe. We will need you then.

Stay classy San Diego.
