S. America. Sao Paulo. Rio. They meet you at the pickup spot.

It's a big world out there.

The actual class photos will show virtually everyone in dress clothes. Or at least long pants, shirt and actual shoes for some of the PSA pilots. .
Not really.

Our class had a couple of Hawaiian shirt/flip-flop guys at the formal dinner.

And they weren’t even young.

I do think the instructions stated something about “business casual,” and all but two happily followed instructions.

It's not about "express" or mainline. I guarantee that some young buck zoomie or squid would do the same. That's what happens when the company gets rid of an actual nonrev dress code and says "do what's right" to a generation that's casual to begin with.

That's how my buddy described him, didn't mean to single out express guys, every groups has their individuals.

I could not imagine wearing flip flops on a plane, but that's just me.

Almost as good for shoe shine is MEX. In the domestic waiting area there is a great shoe shine stand. They are perfectionists. 45 minutes for a shine. $1.

Are we starting with francophobia again?

How do you know someone didn’t bath for a week or two? How can you jumpseat on a French or any foreign airline? Your xenophobia doesn’t sound very professional either. I guess your Führer is calling!

What’s next? Gonna complain about all the rapists and drug dealers?

Another candidate for the moron award. You got the balls to tell that to our French crew members too or are you just an internet tough guy?

I guess some guys need to stick to their regional flying with all the prejudice clouding their view....

Sad.

And unprofessional.
