doesn't matter who you work for or what you fly.

What about if I have a very dark gray, un-labeled, professional looking jacket that's significantly better for the 5 or 6 daily walkarounds I have to do in the Northeast and Canada? It looks professional, functionally is more compact, drier, warmer, and saves packing space because I'm not wearing the AA trench coat with my normal clothes. Serious question

Everyone eventually has to answer for their actions.

The uniform is part of the job.

Wear the right uniform or work through proper channels to get something changed if you see significant issues (not personal inconvenience). Those are your options. You may think you’re being some kind of bad a$$ by bucking the system, when in actuality all you’re doing is giving management ammo against the pilot group. You’re not, in any way, helping our pilot group. In fact, your selfishness is hurting it. Either you’re too blind to see it or, more likely, too selfish.

Wouldn't be the first time this company spent all it's resources focused on the wrong *******.
