So, appreciate it if you don’t put me in the position of telling you how you need to dress. No need for no fly list. Just do your job that you’re getting paid well into the six figures to do and we will get along great.

Until I get to remove a FA with a purple Mohawk I WILL NOT enforce a dress code on my FO’s.

Right. If they do their job well, who cares what their hair looks like

BTW why do keep calling your former regional a "shop". Been in the biz for a few decades and we stopped using "shop" circa '91. You part of the plumbers union or something?

Serious question....before you leave the house for your next rotation you check the local forecasts and see rain at every airport...what do you do?

It's summer....you brining the double breasted out of hibernation to wear on the walk arounds so you will be 100% FOM compliant? (Assuming Capt bluejuice71 does walk around on FO legs)

Umbrella?

Trench Coat?

Of you just dong the preflight in your white button down shirt?

Absolutely no Trench coats. I have seen North Face (or similar), and also a black stuff-able waterproof windbreaker. You’ll be fine with one of those as long as you limit it to walk arounds. Don’t get drenched, that’s just stupid. And for heavens sake, don’t wear it in the terminal with your hat.
