You always know when it’s interview day though because there’s a bunch of guys in suits hanging out in the sim building. The rest of us are in jeans and tennis shoes.

Uh, yeah...Don't overthink things.
If I asked you to come to a Dinner Party and said "Business Casual" specifically, and you show up in a full suit or a tuxedo because you have "dressed to impress"...After I'm done laughing and publicly berating you for being a Douche, I'm immediately telling you to change into something appropriate ( as asked previously) or, to get The F@Ck Out of my House.
Can't do that in a business situation...But, I'd still be thinking it, and unless you were really good at verbal dancing and could persuade me you weren't a Total D.B well, I think you know how the rest would work.
And, so it goes...

). Then again, if everyone else is showing up in a suit I'd rather not stand out either. Back when I used to interview pilots, I would always say to dress business casual and leave the suit at home. About half the prospects still showed up in suits. I don't think it influenced us one way or another, but it always gave me a chuckle. Granted - this was a pretty low-key 91 piston operation. K4 is a horse of a different color. In the absence of any direction, I would absolutely wear a suit. No question. But if they specify a dress code, why would you disregard that?
