Wearing Nomex?
I've been wearing nomex flightsuits for the past 15 years and I've just been hired by someone who requires their pilots to wear 65% polyester short-sleeve shirts and dress pants. I've replaced the shirts with 100% cotton long-sleeve shirts of the same style, but no-one else really seems to care about the lack of fire protection, bug protection, nor the inability to carry any survivial gear on your person. (All my flying is in the Canadian north). Am I just overly anal about this or would this concern anyone else?
My nomex (with nomex insulation)jacket has also been replaced by a polartec sweater and nylon shell, probally more comfortable in a survival situation but....
