For those of you wondering whether to take a jacket or not....
Vol 1 excerpt...
c. All crew members should have the uniform jacket available to take on a flying pattern, unless they have established with the Commander that jackets are not required. However, crew members may assume that jackets are not required on regional patterns from Hong Kong between the months of April and September inclusive.
That means that unless you are the Captain, then you take your jacket with you... all the time, unless its the HKG summer and you are on a regional pattern. Surely it's not that difficult to understand.
I am very pleasantly surprised by how many of our colleagues agree with HC's intent, if not the content of his message!
I doubt very much much that his religious beliefs have anything to do with this message.
