Have any of you glove wearers ever encountered snobbery or scorn from fellow instructors when sporting flying gloves? I thought about getting a pair at the start of winter but couldn't justify the expense when I'd only use them to keep my hands warm when A-checking an aircraft, I already have a pair of leather ones from 'Next' which do that job just fine! Also, the idea made me feel slightly self conscious too, like wearing eppaulettes or Ray Ban aviators, or carring an airline pilot style briefcase into the club... I have on occasion witnessed an instructor get a ribbing just for wearing disposable gloves when -A-checking an aircraft! I didn't participate but it got me thinking.
Come on, admit that it is just a
tad poncy.
VFE.
