Interviewing at Oshkosh.

Has anybody interviewed at Oshkosh before? Does the suit at an interview rule apply to Oshkosh interviews?

Suit optional. The pilots wear our summer uniform I'm pretty sure (if not a business casual endeavor uniform) so maybe some khakis and a button down or polo are fine.

Please don't wear a suit to Oshkosh. Shorts and tee shirt are more than acceptable.

I was in upgrade with a guy who said he and his wife were both hired at OSH. They had scheduled interviews for a few weeks later, but did interviews on the spot. He said they were both casually dressed for walking the grounds, not necessarily to do the interview.

If I were you, I'd dress in something clean, comfortable, and pressed and maybe not a free swag shirt from one of the other carriers!

Good luck - let us know how it goes!

Polos and shorts. Thats what all the CPs, ACPs and recruiters are wearing there. Very casual.

There used to be an old saying about getting ahead in business. "Don't drive a better car than your boss." The same applies here. Don't show up in a suit, when the recruiter is wearing khakis and an AirVenture shirt.

I heard one guy was able to get hired at Delta after wearing only a wrist watch and flip flops, but YMMV

It’s not everyday you interview a candidate that’s made a Letterman’s Top 10 list

I flew with that guy a 1.5 years after that incident. I saw him in the lobby later in the evening on a layover with flip flops. I couldn't help but wonder if that's the same pair he had in MDT.
