Pilot uniform

[JulieFlyGal]

I have a friend who's about to move to Perth to be with her new boyfriend. She says he claims to be "flight crew" and wears a blue jump suit to work with three stripes. Anyone know what operation this could be? Surveillance Australia perhaps?

[the wizard of auz]

sounds like police air wing.

[Peter Fanelli]

She's moving to be with a boyfriend who "claims to be"?
You mean she doesn't know what he does for a living for sure?

[geeup]

u go girlfriend

Some Aeromedical outfits (pun not intended) wear 'jump suits'. The traditional 'monkey suit' isn't a good outfit when working in a hot environment such as the Aussie outback. The official uniform for professional pilots I believe suits (again no pun intended) the role of the airline pilot 'cause of the authority that it stands for but isn't well suited for some other roles.
The blue jump suit in question with the three stripes could also be part of some radical prison reform !:} Nah all jokes aside the 3 stripes usually mean Capt on A/C less than 5700 kg's, that might be a hint !

I think you're right Wiz. Maybe Dawn Raid could confirm, not that he has much time for Pprune lately.

Could even be one of the Crewies on the BK.

[Wine Glass]

Maybe he's telling her he's in the roulettes. :D

[jarjar]

I'm pretty sure that Aerorescue's uniforms are a blue jumpsuit.

[Howard Hughes]

I think she is moving in with Capt Wally!;)

[Green gorilla]

Could be the SAR crew for the RAAF SR76.

[Capt Wally]

..................sheeeeeez Howard there's only enough room for one Capt wally in my cockpit !:} So how ya been up there in crazy land?

CW:ok:

[Lefthanded_Rock_Thrower]

Fugro wears blue flight suits.

[Richo]

If she was moving over to live with someone who works a Fugro, why bother never going to be home anyway.

Sounds very AERORESCUE to me

[aircabbie]

Tell her to come live with me she knows nothing about me but hey that is obviously not important !! Not sure what miss aircabbie would say but hey ..i wear Calvin Klien underwear to my photo shoots every day ..

Then i wake up

[bentleg]

Might be a w....r who bought a blue jump suit and them kitted it out with epaulettes from the pilot shop.......

[kwachon]

Nah, this is Oz right, Blue jump suit, three rings..Doorman at the downtown Hilton name of Jeff.....

[QFcaptain]

[Capt Wally]

[QFcaptain]

My bad guys, I guess male and female brains do somewhat differ(JOKE!!).Flygal maybe she misunderstood, he might have said that he's "fight crew"..hmm..

CHC are dark navy blue with gold bars, SAPL are green flight suits

[JulieFlyGal]

Thanks 4 the responses. Can you elaborate who CHC is?

[Lasiorhinus]

CHC is actually short for Canadian Helicopter Corporation, but I had to look that up. Everyone knows them as CHC.

Nah all jokes aside the 3 stripes usually mean Capt on A/C less than 5700 kg's

Cor! You mean I can put up three stripes for being a commander of a Jabiru?

[kwachon]

Canucks in Oz, theres a thing, could be an "artiste de pissoire"

[troppo]

Come on guys stop guessing! Julie there is only one way to be 100% sure. Get your friend to take a photo of him in uniform (preferably at the local pub/club) and then post it here. You should get an answer pretty quick!

[Capt Wally]

............hey 'centaurus' sure you can put 3 stripes on yr outfit if you fly a jabiru is it??........just remember that the AUW maybe comprimised esspecially seeing as there are rules for model planes over 7 Kg's MTOW:}

CW:ok:

[Capt Wally]

....like the way ya think 'troppo'......lets see the 'goods' in question here, although Julie you can cut out the head !:}:E

[tio540]

Flightscrew?

Never mind.:) Walks out the door.

[CrackedBlade]

3 stripes for a Jabby? Must be the FO. Last bloke I saw flying one had 4 on his shoulder!:confused:

[Stationair8]

Some of the Sydney RFDS pilots have "PILOT" written on their white shirts.

[morno]

Stationair, that's just so that they don't forget what they're supposed to do, :}

[Capt Wally]

..'cracked' 4 bars in a jabiru is just gross overweight & an utter disreguard for safety !:}

....now now 'stationair8' the pilots name on the RFDS shirt is for the 'pretty boy' look !:}
