2) Leather jacket is pricey but absolutely worth it for winter flying. The uniform blazer is fine for spring/fall months but absolutely inadequate for, say, ORD in wintertime. There's supposedly a long trenchcoat available but I have never seen a single pilot wearing it.
There are actually quite a few uniform possibilities, the local Police/Fire uniform stores have plenty of choices. Just get uniform pants in charcoal black, a lot of "black" pants are really dark navy blue, been buying pants from Galls online for years, save your allotment for shirts.
If you are going anywhere north of the US/Mexico border during the winter months pack a modern watch/beany cap and some fleece gloves, which will insure that your head won't suffer brain freeze and you wont do your walk around wearing Air Force gloves.

Just to clarify: I'm very proud of our piloty positions, just a little self-conscious.
My old job I wore my flight suit (flag and patches and crap) into a coffee shop a couple times - was hard to relax and it kind of stressed me out.
At least the airline regalia fits in a crowd, as long as it's subdued. That's what I'm aiming for.
I'm just here to fly.

Ok? In bases reserve isn't bad, but to each their own

Does Skywest allow you to interview and receive a conditional offer before reaching ATP minimums? If so, how early should I apply and could I get a class date upon accepting the offer? (Not including the cadet program)

Yeah, OBR deadhead to sit for 5 days only to then deadhead home after the tour is up, without flying is great! Sitting for days in a hotel that has no food available, and the only food is a 5 mile van ride to a Subway makes it over the top!

Great, Thanks all!
I'd get the Perrone jacket, but they're out of my size (38) until next fall.
I'm 6'3" and thin, no belly, so it's hard to find stuff that doesn't look boxy.
(and Perrone was what they listed in the latest "welcome aboard" packet, so whatever that's worth)
I'm really not a fan of the shiny leather jacket, in general - would love to find a more subdued example if I can get away with it.
If I have to wear something warm I'd love to find one that wasn't too pimp looking.
I like to avoid the "I"m a pilot" look.
I saw a FO wearing what looked to be a dull and very dark brown one in a Northwest airport that looked decent.
And thanks for the shoe advice, was going to get something nice (no reason we can't make this look good), but it sounds like that's a bad idea.

Which airframe will I/could I make more money flying the first year: E175 vs. CRJ?
(Fresh out of training, assuming West-ish based, eventually)
(difference in hourly pay is negligible)
Can't believe I didn't ask this earlier. Figured it wouldn't matter, but does it?

I've done that too. You must not have been paid for it. Oh well.
