   Recruiter telling me the company issues us bags and uniforms
   Think for a moment about what this tells you about a company like this, in a nutshell:
   
   > Tells you the company is really particular about your imagery, company branding supersedes all function
   > he thinks this is a bonus
   > It saves me $300, maybe $800 for a whole collection
   > thinks his company's purchasing dept chooses good bags
   > that this still happens means the pilot base is okay with it
   > or that management isn't listening
   > or that the pilots don't fly enough to wear out their bags
   
   All of those are distressing to consider.

     I infrequently have to stop and try to give form to the things I’m instinctively picking up on. I looked at this company and got a middling feeling from them, like there’s something amiss but couldn’t really point to anything overt.

     Once I started thinking about what’s diff. about them from their competitors, I just thought about the work culture issues that follow from this one operator bucking the trend.

     For reference anyone in the industry, at least in the bigger side w/ big airports & TSA, doesn’t fuss around with gay civilian-spec bags. They go for stuff w/ hard core steel frames, tons of external pocket access, robust skate wheels, and hard-wearing handles.

     You don’t see gay aluminum telescoping shit or 2-pocket solutions. Those crap bags (that look just like bottom-dollar garbage your grandma vacations with) won’t last 2 months of flying the line. And that’s what you can suss out from ONE little tidbit about a company.

     Maybe at best they bought into this idea and have a whole room full of them to give away and burn through, but even then it’s probably just so you have to pay out of pocket for a good commute-worthy bag and they can say they issued you one.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot also means in a couple years they could change policy and decide you still have to wear the company uniform but now you have to buy it, but here's a $60 gift card every year (next year it'll be $45). also the health insurance got $20 a pay period more expensive and the deductible $3000 higher.

     At least these are just the normal sleeveless dress shirts w/ epaulettes. Colors are kinda gay but whatever. I’ll give them a shot. Betcha the training bond will be something obscene like 3y$100k
