Personally I identify as a woman so I don't wear a tie. It's pretty sweet.

Congrats you are correct that it was not written correctly. The point still remains the same though. You come to work with a day or nights growth on your face and take exception to the CA giving you grief about it?! That is the point of my bringing this up.
As to the FA's having beards or chin music, who cares they are not pilots. If they come into the C/P while we step out to go our business and a sudden loss of pressure occurs it their problem not ours. There are plenty of pilots here who are not in the best of shape, men and women, young and old, so that can't be isolated to the CAs. |

While I personally could not care less if a pilot has some stubble, the fact that it’s written company policy to be clean shaven means that a new hire (or any probationary pilot) should probably not push it and be offended if a captain calls them out on it. What’s more important? Keeping yourself out of trouble and keeping your job, or being butthurt because some captain dared call you out for not shaving, as required?
Suck it up and play along. After probation, if you want to fight it, go right ahead. |

Some people don’t think that how it be, but it do.
So, if they don’t show up unshaven, they’re showing up ______________? |

As I understand it there is a new hire/flow thru FB page. Which is a good thing so that they can pass along nice to know things about AA and how to navigate the antiquated DECS program, and probably answer some contract stuff.
There has been some discussion about the fact that some dont show up for work unshaven. The CA calls them on it and they are ****ed because of it?! Really, you are ****ed because, the CA asks why you are not shaved when coming to work in a uniform that represents our profession? |

It’s not that hard to look the part. Pressed pants and shirt at the dry cleaners $4.50. Shoe polish at the airport is $5-7. That’s about one trip to Starbucks. At $88.28/hr for a new hire that’s easily accomplished.
And yes I have shown up to work unshaven once. Met the captain, owned my appearance before he said anything and no problem. The reason was No water at the house due to water meter going bad. Had to bathe in the pool. |
This is silly.
We get paid like professionals. Why the hell is it so hard to look like professionals? Newsflash: We have a uniform. Wear it like a damned adult. (And yes. Adults do actually groom themselves-shaving and the whole 9 yards.) |
