I flew with an SO the other day wearing one.
Even our newest GM, PH, had one on. I heard he was an excellent sergeant in the army. Quite a leap from Sergeant to Swire. No wonder he hates pilots. They represent all those pesky officers he used to take orders from. Too bad he wasn't in the RAF, surely some of our pilots would have known him.
On a related note, perhaps someone should bring to the COO's attention that our beloved GMA is not keeping duty travel to a minimum, which was one of the stated cost reduction measures in his latest weekly telex. I had a good chuckle when I read that.
Thanks PH, my roster got notably better and it is costing the company more money. Perhaps the iron fist isn't always the best way to manage.
