The way I read it, shorts would be permissible. That seems strange, but at the least I could wear jeans. Seems more comfortable than slacks for 12 hours.

Dude... seriously can't believe I'm reading this from a pilot. Don't be the guy showing up in shorts or jeans to non-rev in 1st class. If I paid a couple thousand $$ for a seat, I'd be ****ed if some lazy slacker employee lounged out next to me in shorts or jeans. And sorry, folks ARE going to decide who you are and label you based on your clothes. I recommend not wearing a hoody either. If you don't own a pair of slacks that are as comfortable as jeans, go splurge at WalMart with $15 and buy a pair.

I'm pretty sure one of the Delta hiring interview make-or-break questions was, "If we didn't specify a dress code, which would you show up wearing to non rev: jeans and a t-shirt, or business slacks and a collared dress shirt?" Really, pretty sure that was one of them. If I remember wrong...it should be.

Excellent advice... I started with Animal House.

Looking forward to the interview process!:D:D

I'd always wear something that would be jumpseat legal in case you have to go that route as a backup.

With the possibility of new pilots joining us, I propose a new video link on APC to help them learn the ropes. We could call it YouNoob. Some suggested channels:

The Bucking Bar Channel - MD88 engineering triumphs...YouNoob's shortest video series.

The Buzzpat Channel - Want a successful life?...pick a hot wife. The how to guide.

The Jesse Channel - A photo album.

The 80ktsClamp Channel - How to successfully blame the other pilot for farting in a two man cockpit. Coming soon: The Magic Carpet Ride...a how to guide.

The Forgot To Bid Channel - A guide to bidding.

The Denny Crane Channel - Finding fulfillment...even though you'll never be DennyCrane!

The Tsquare Channel - A tutorial of putting people on your ignore list.

The FIIGMO Channel - A guide to the Fox News Channel.

The Delta I.T. Channel - Under construction.

The Timbo Channel - The art of enjoying days off.

The Purple Drank Channel - Success through positive thinking.

The Slowplay/Alfaromeo Channel - How to spin a bad checkride into a good thing by blaming the instructor then redefining the grading system. $1 premium charge to remove the "DPA Sucks" banner ad.

The Carl Spackler Channel - Static and hot air. $1 premium charge to remove the "ALPA Sucks" banner ad.

YouBoob - Self explanatory.

The Asiana Channel - A hand flying guide. Too soon? :D

Granted, I've only been here 6 years, but the Aug bid Is the strangest I've seen. Many categories with lines going almost to the plug. Some with Top half of reserves coming from senior 1/3 of category. It's pure bedlum!! Note...when res gaur. Hits 80, reverse all bidding logic to get what u want.

I've got the worst line I've had in 5 years. I've never had an "avoid" denied.:confused:

On the other hand, in my category they just put 41% of the category on rsv in August. Junior lineholder is over 1000 numbers senior to me!

I guess you haven't been paying attention to what the "folks paying thousands of $$" are wearing........:rolleyes:

Exactly! It's chaos...totally unpredictable.
