But like I said, I’ll take the bet on the JBLU order book vs your 28000 pilot total. I don’t think there are enough women to join your aviate program to make that happen.

You are right Cinco, United will never have 28k pilots, ever. In fact, I would be extremely surprised if they ever reach 20k. That is simply fairly land. There is simply not enough demand for that amount of flying, nowhere near it. I would not be surprised at all if hiring doesn’t come to screeching halt in 2024 and maybe even furlough soon after. I would not want to be at anyone’s bottom of the seniority list right now.

Current JB jacket is awful. Long trenchcoat thing made of felt.

JB uniform doesn't have a trenchcoat option. There is a wool overcoat.

I said a long trenchcoat "thing" made of felt. You can call it a wool overcoat (it's also long) if you want to.

Sure do, it's the JB all weather jacket, and yes it looks like a trenchcoat and it's not wool.

If you look specifically at what's approved for pilot outerwear, I don't believe that all-weather coat is approved.

Haha...I love you JBLU guys and using the word "approved." Its freaking the wild west over here for unifrom compliance. Literally saw a pilot with a mullet last week. Backpacks are still a common sight, as are hooded jackets (in the terminal). A lot of our guys will need to be house trained after the merger.

Speaking of appearance issues, are visible tattoos approved?

How about a half sleeve? I'm dead serious btw

Look again. It’s an approved option. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone wear it personally though.

I think it’s different than the one with orange trim that the FAs wear.
