Next up: Delta won't hire you because you couldn't pass the Navy FITREP and fit into the Admiral's jacket.
Relax guys. It's a blazer. |

I'm an expat. Uniform standards is not even a questions. In fact, uniform standards is not a questions with the majority of overseas carriers. My fellow expats read and discuss the dribble on APC, and this is just one where the wine comes out of one's nasai. We even have to wear the dreaded hat:eek:. Oh the humanity. But the good new is no ear buds, no back packs, or the weird colored reflecting sun glasses with white rims.:)

FWIW i have seen the video. Been a few years. I dont recall the captain mentioning how to button a blazer. Could be a minor oversight :rolleyes: |
LOL-everybody is going nuts over the blazer, and the vast majority can't find a proper hat size either. Love the ones that cram it down trying to make it fit like a baseball cap. Looks really "professional"...
Should I even go into the lack of shirts or slacks being pressed? Or are we still prioritizing the "Proper Wear and Appearance of the Professional Pilots Blazer"? |
Suit Coats, Blazers & Sport Coats are three similar but different things.

A hearty beard would go nice with a fully buttoned up double breasted suit. Maybe even wear your headset over your hat in the cockpit to top it off!
|
Let us not bring hats into this, the internet is riddled with proper hat etiquette that we,as pontificating professionals, chose to blindly ignore. I will practice buttoning my blazer when everyone agrees to "doff their hats" in the proper and accustomed fashion.

Well, our president wears his jacket open most of the time and with a tie that is at least a few inches too long, on a good day.
Ironically a pilot could say "If its good enough for the most powerful person in the world, its good enough for me while in the CLE terminal" Nothing makes me laugh more than people, on an anonymous forum, forever telling others how to be a professional. I probably have flown with 50 pilots in my career that look great walking down a terminal but are worthless on the flighdeck, the opposite is equally true with the guy who looks like a slob but is great at the job. You nerds are really having a conversation about the bottom button on a uniform blazer. This takes type A controlling pilot to an entire new level. I am laughing, this is funny because it's true. |
