There’s a reason we are not industry standard and it’s little things like standing in the doorway and thanking our paying passengers.

The ultimate experiment in comfort was years ago when we did BCRF month and as an employee (not pilots) if you made a donation, you could wear a pink t-shirt and jeans ALL MONTH.

It was almost comical watching passengers come up the jet bridge and couldn’t find the gate agent to ask about connections, particularly international connecting customers that didn’t understand the fundraiser or speak English. Imagine the chaos of a bunch of t-shirts trying to corral passengers evacuating a jet if we had an emergency. On top of that, we looked like trash. Some can pull off pick-your-own-jeans day, some insist on 3 sizes too small!

Dress for the job you want. If we all dress like train engineers, expect to get paid like a train engineer.

That's about the only way to weed out the large amount of undesirables at the top of their list who will never otherwise make the cut. If they were all given a free ride, what a slap in the face it would be to all who busted their butts and did all the right things to be invited in the front door here. It would surely hurt recruiting efforts doing forward and would be a mockery of the standards this company claims they uphold.
