I never saw anyone who was not dressed correctly or didn’t meet grooming standards. There was a guy who went to upgrade class with a man bun. He definitely got in trouble, since he had already been talked to on the line.
I'm taking about the really nitpicky stuff on dress code/grooming standards. Soles of the shoes being tan instead of black. A sleeve or collar style that isn't specifically listed in the attire section of the training packet. A tiny tattoo that could be covered by a ring or a watch. Do pilot trainees get written up for things like that?
