Generally, I agree, but only to a certain extent. There is a limit to uniform adhesion when the weather is actively trying to kill you.

That being said, I don't condone black sneakers. I don't condone white socks. I don't condone walking around with a friggin backpack like you're off to high school...

Usually I'm sporting the company issued blazer, and when the leaves on the trees turn purdy colors I wear the leather jacket. But when the snow starts blowing sideways? All bets are off on outerwear.

So the leather jacket isn't as warm as the North Face? Do you wear the fleece under the leather? As long as the outer layer is compliant in front of the public, I don't think anyone will have an issue. Plenty of guys wear a skull cap when they're on the ramp in the winter.

My issue is almost falling on my butt while doing the walk around on an icy ramp. Perhaps I should wear ice boots because it's more suited for the weather?

Dramatic much? The weather is not going to kill you on a five minute walk around or walking from the hotel van to the front door. I'm as ***** as it gets when it comes to cold living in FL my whole life, it's built in. Nonetheless, I did walk arounds MSP last winter when it was literally 20 below in my blazer and gloves. I was trying to hold until the company paid for a leather jacket but that was a bit chilly so I caved and bought one. Moral of the story is I didn't die. Wear the uniform and stop being a little *****

I've been chilled in a lot of places flying Cobras in the Cav, sleeping under the tail boom, eating roots and berries and painting my face green. But the coldest I've ever been in my whole life was a walk around on an MD-80, in January in Detroit.

The main thing is to make sure you have an accurate door code before exiting the jet bridge door when below 40 degrees (desert rat here)
