Reply #22: Believe me, we're going to have fun with the dress code. [View All]

Take 470 people that were specifically selected for their creative problem-solving skills and assertiveness and give them some silly dress code? We have it covered.

Golf pants and 70's tuxedo shirts in various pastel colors.

Kilts (for the men)

Dresses (for the men). Of course, they'd have to be business-appropriate...hemlines below the knee...but that's fine. I'm no slut. :)

My favorite: Pirate garb. Pirate boots, pants, and shirts. No bandannas or eye patches (and no parrots). If your partner's interested, the site to shop at is www.dresslikeapirate.com ...real clothing, not costume stuff.

One of the area union reps told me he found the BEST orange suit...I can't wait to see it.

Unfortunately, if your partner's not fully certified she may be screwed...developmentals may go to the "new employees'" pay scale.

If I recall correctly, she's a NATCA member. As she's aware, we have national elections coming up. I know Pat Forrey personally and feel he'd be a great replacement for John Carr. Carr was great with some issues, but his decision to get personally aggressive with Blakey hurt us, in my estimation. Forrey's got a LOT of experience and I think he'd be a great choice for NATCA President...just my .02 if you choose to mention it to her.

I'm involved in my local...if she thinks any sort of dialog would be productive, have her let me know. We're all family.
