Man I flew with guys in the -8 that wouldn't wear anything....no matter what. I guess that's a whole other level of not giving a F.

Does he know the uniforms have changed? Why is he wearing an alpa lanyard?

Probably because ALPA "forgave" the strikers. It makes people think he was on the right side of the picket line.

This is what happens if you don't wear the crotch strap

The challenger 601 doesn't even have the fifth.

I'll remove the shoulder straps once we're up and away and usually the "5th" about then. It all comes back on descending through 10,000. That 5th strap is there for a reason. I remember in the Kalitta forced landing down in Bogota, the only guy that got really injured was the FO who didn't use the 5th strap and slid out just like the Comair FO.
Worth it.....Still, Totally Worth It!

May want to rethink that one since he went up and out.

Other signs can be utilizing that "5th" overally, familiar strap of a 5 point seatbelt harness. I mean what type of maneuvers are you expecting to do.

It seems to me that looking over at the other guy's crotch to see if he is using the strap is a bit "toolish".

Wow, you just can't make this stuff up. I would like to get hold of that Lanyard.

"A strikebreaker (sometimes derogatorily called a scab, blackleg, or knobstick) is a person who works despite an ongoing strike. Strikebreakers are usually individuals who are not employed by the company prior to the trade union dispute, but rather hired after or during the strike to keep the organization running. "Strikebreakers" may also refer to workers (union members or not) who cross picket lines to work.
Strikebreakers are employed worldwide, often occurring wherever workers go on strike or engage in related actions. However, strikebreakers are used far more frequently in the United States than in any other industrialized country.[1] The Mohawk Valley formula calls for the use of strikebreakers when dealing with striking employees."
