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. |

I guess you haven't been paying attention to what the "folks paying thousands of $$" are wearing........:rolleyes:
;) no disrespect intended, but some questions just don't need to be asked or pressed-to-test when you're no longer working as a cashier for McD's. Hrmmm, it's like this: you can wear your uniform hat a zillion times and build a hundred bridges, but if you once show up dressed like a teenager for non-rev or screw one goat, you're a goat-f*cker. I'm pretty sure that's how that saying goes, at least that's how we interpreted it in the mil. ;) |

So my $200 custom fit AG jeans from Nordstrom would be inferior to $15 slacks from Walmart in 1st class?

Exactly! It's chaos...totally unpredictable.
June projected line count was 50 actual was 49 July projected line count was 53 actual was 53 August projected line count was 51 actual was 45 One of the reasons that they missed more than normal was that 304:51 was left in open time. Enough time to create at least 4 more regular lines if it was not all stacked up in the first 10 days of the month. Someone really let this month get screwed up... Hopefully ALPA will attempt to hold them accountable for such lousy work, and not just help the company make exscuses for this. |

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.

Have you looked back to see what your passengers in First are wearing these days??? The wife and I non-revved in first down to the islands last month. I was wearing shorts, flip-flops, and a button down short sleeve shirt. Compared to the rest of the cabin I was grossly overdressed...
Thanks for the comments. Seems slacks are the wise, albeit uncomfortable choice. |

Haha! Zima's for chicks. I'm a metro pilot.
MWright, you remained steely-eyed and calm even though I was hoping someone would bite off on the goat-f*cker comment ;) So as a lot of guys have pointed out, you can get by with neat/clean/casual. But it's indeed wise to be prepared and dressed for the jumpseat, I've been within 1 seat of needing it on every single flight I've hopped for months. We're almost always chock full now. |
