I'm headed to an interview in HPN on Wed......I've read through this thread and many people indicated the dress code listed as business casual....Emerald Cost sent me a gouge that said business casual. However my info packet does NOT indicate a dress code at all...the last person that I personally know who interviewed in MIA in May said everyone was in suits. is there anyone else on here who interviewed very recently?
Since there was nothing specific on any of the paper work from Denise and since the interview is in NY for the first time...I'm planning on going with the suit.

Good luck!

I'd suit up...
You are putting yourself on display under the microscope, while they (in NY) already have the job, YOU are the one looking for the job.
Even though there are no "tricks or hidden agendas" in regards to interpreting the business casual statement (in the past) you are still the one on show...
Best foot forward, go and get it!

Another bonus side note to wearing your Sunday best is the human factors part of the equation.
Studies have shown that you WILL be on another level sitting there knowing you are looking the pro. In pure automation you will be on guard and not be in relaxed mode, even if the tone goes to the casual side of the house.
Trivia, but studies also show that pilots in uniform/business attire will perform better under stress than casually dressed individuals.
Case in point. We train in business casual, but even though there is no stipulated dress code for the rating ride, everyone shows up in a shirt and tie.

8 type ratings and many recurrents, I have never worn a suit or tie for a checkride...I would rather spend my time preparing for the ride than worried about what I was going to wear. Never showed up looking like a slob, just no suit and tie.

Check ride sure. You have the job. Interview is something else. First impressions should not be discounted. Having done employment interviews for a major airline, I can assure you appearance makes a difference.
