Sort of like this?
Seriously? Is that a whale thing? On the 767, there is no such presumptuousness. I didn't even bring a tie to class, wore polos or button up shirts throughout, INCLUDING the check ride. Not only did no one say anything, I think the opposite is true, they WOULD HAVE said something if I was the only guy in class to show up with a tie!

Yes, it's about respect and professionalism. I doubt anyone would have said anything if I wore a polo to my 74 oral and type, but the check airman was in a tie, the fed was in a tie, and I'd have likely felt underdressed otherwise.
They don't tell you to shower or brush your teeth before ground school, but most of us do anyway. YMMV
By no means am I judging the 76 guys who train in a more relaxed atmosphere. When in Rome.

There are captains here who haven't worn a tie in 10 years.

I was told business casual for gs, dress slacks and polo is norm. As far as check ride, do you pink slip for no tie?! Hope not!!! I would not want to out dress my instructor, but I will dress in those black stretchy pant's if he/she asks me too as I hear they are so comfy!

Your quals are pretty close to what I had coming in too (so is your screen name!). Like doverby I didn't get any questions related to the lack of PIC during the interview, although I know others in the same boat who got some wwyd if you were captain type scenarios. Easy stuff.
At the job fair I went to about a year ago, the recruiter looked over my resume and said it was exactly what they were looking for. Your being able to show a pattern of career progression is more important to them than PIC.
Hope you get the call soon!

and the screen name? lol ...what a...???
For the line holders out there, how old was the youngest captain you ever flew with?
...and if I dare to ask, the oldest f/o?
..that's for both 76 and 74 types

Want to get paid like a professional, dress like a professional. Dress like a laborer, expect to be treated and paid like a laborer.
It won't kill a person and there is nothing silly about dressing in a suit in tie.
