What about obese lard Captains wearing ill fitting uniforms with disgusting blubber hanging over their belt buckle, pants 3" too short or long, Walmart looking combat security guard shoes and an overgrown mustache that makes them look more like a Walrus than a Pilot.
Probie new hire pilots should probably report them as well
From what I have seen in the training center the ultra senior people that have been here forever are far more lax than the new hires.

I can’t believe someone tried to compare us to FAs. I get it some of them look like total slobs with long facial hair and dread locks but folks here is a nasty little wake up for you. Man the **** up! As proffesional pilots we are part of a proffesion. FAs have a job we have a career and proffesion to upkeep! Don’t believe me? Simply take a look at what it takes to become a legacy pilot versus a FA? It’s called barries to entry for a reason!
I commuted up to work today sitting next to one of our FAs hired this year and I asked her how she got into this industry. Her response was that she was tired of having casual sex in exchange for a place to live and weed so she wanted to change her life!
When was the last time you came across a pilot who said they started flying because they were tired of casual sex in return for favors.
Some people’s kids! I tell you what!

OP: you made up the new hires not shaving thing. One of those, my brothers uncles friends wife heard that blah, blah, blah. Made up story.
As for cpts not even wearing their wings or no belt or tennis shoes...well I have seen all of those things. With that said, those guys were actually pretty cool to fly with. If I see a cpt during the middle of summer with his hat and blazer on I now wonder “will he be a douch?” If I see new balance I know it will be a relaxed trip.
See that? Thread drift!

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?
I don't think it is that hard to show up in a clean uniform, clean shaven and have clean shoes/boots too?
Have some pride in what you do and how you look.

As long as we are thread drifting, there are worse things than not shaving. Ever jumpseat on a French airline. I don't mind them going without shaving but going without bathing for a week or two? And the cologne they use to cover it up is almost as bad...
