new hires/flow not shaving?
 
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?



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.

Well I hope those unshaven guys have a better command of English than you.

All smart-azzing aside...

I agree with you. Even if you have some beef with AA, you still represent yourself when you're at work. If you want to people to treat you with respect, start by looking like a professional.

Should go without saying don’t come to work looking like a slob. Especially new hires.

Me fail English? That’s umpossible

I’ll shave because FM1 says shave. But we have male flight attendants that don’t shave, wear makeup and have earrings. We have a CEO and management team that rarely wear ties.

A well trimmed beard and no tie would look much better than a tie with a short sleeved shirt. All I’m missing is my AA pocket protector.

Many European/ME and ANZAC carriers wear beards/goatees. They look a helluva lot more professional than most US flight crews.
