No issue D2ing in jeans. You just give up the option of riding the jumpseat.

And no one said it’s ok for a Republic or any other D6 to wear jeans.

Guy was going to his daughters graduation. Why didn’t he have khakis for that? No idea. It was a nice pair of jeans, he apologized for it, and I wasn’t going to make him miss something like that. Should he have dressed more appropriately? Absolutely. What would you have done in that situation?

As long as you're not in flip flops and a tank top, you're welcome to my jumpseat as long as you're not an *******. Just be friendly and if you make a mistake, apologize and correct it.

Drop kick them out of the flight deck and publicly shame them in front of the passengers all while contacting their respective CPO during my scathing email to their jump seat committee. Seems pretty obvious really.

So he was going to a semi-formal event in jeans? Was it held at Daytona Motor Speedway? I’m sorry, but I would have made him change. With my luck someone from the CPO would have been waiting to do a random on the jetway and I would have gotten in trouble for it. Jumpseating isn’t new. It’s not like the standards were just written.

Because this conversation isn't silly enough already: Kenmore air, a seaplane company we have a reciprocal jump seat agreement with, allows their pilots to wear shorts as part of their uniform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EcYt7fdyGY

Would you kick a Kenmore air pilot out of the jump seat for wearing shorts even though they're in uniform?

Yup. They don’t meet our dress code. This isn’t hard. It’s in FM-1 which is an approved manual therefore is is doctrine.

Please, your asking them to follow the fmp-1, you will have to post it on facebook for them to read it, it's the only way.

Just show up and when your denied and written up, go do the dance in the cpo office when they inform you your travel privledges are suspended. That too is in the part 1.

“... or approved pilot uniform”. Good to go per FM-1.
