Thanks, I didn’t know Johnny Cash wore a black suit.

 

Will it be frowned upon if I wear a nice designer suit? I think presentation is very important and details matter, but I don’t want to overdo it if it’s going to backfire.

 

There is no such thing as a "nice designer suit". They all make you look like a richard.

 

I’m with you on presentation is important. I like to look sharp and if I have the money for a Brioni suit then I will get it. With that being said, CM told me that showing up dressed in a high end suit may come across flashy and give a bad taste to interviewers. Who knew?

Point to my story is, as much as it may pain you, just have a basic suit that is tailored and you will be just fine. Don’t stand out negatively on either side of it.

Thanks for the response—very useful.

 

Presentation IS important, outgoing friendly personality is what you need to present. They're looking for people who can interact well with other crew, customers, and employees while wearing a standard uniform. Work the crowd the entire time.

They will be a bit leery of a pilot who needs personal attire props to set the tone for their social interactions. Too often that's a master caution for "prima dona" or "tool".

You can probably get away with reasonable sideburns. Still professional, but fun when appropriate.

 

I had not thought of it like this, but it makes sense. Thanks for the response.

 

What Rick said. To put it bluntly, they're looking for the clones/drones that fit their profile and culture, BY PERSONALITY. You're looking to fit in appearance wise, you're not interviewing to be a marketing/advertising/sales/graphic design type.

Seriously, go to (insert men's suit store here) and when they ask "what are are you looking for?" just say "a standard conservative looking interview suit", they'll usually be able fix you up pretty well. Everyone has an opinion on what color of suit/shirt/tie to wear, and what they wore. I've interviewed for 7 pilot jobs in 20 years, you WON'T go wrong with a blue suit/white shirt, and maroon/burgundy tie combo, EVER. Some of those interviews, 90% of us looked the SAME.

On a side note, I did the Men's Warehouse 2 for 1, with tailoring and a few extras. Suit looked great, been able to use both multiple times at formal events, etc.

However, I have seen "suit separates" at various retailers that fit pretty good off the rack and look almost identical to my MW, for what would have been less than half the price, YMMV.
