In my opinion, there are way too many people walking around in old, dirty, wrinkled shirts that are either too big or too small, with their top button unbuttoned, wearing Dickies instead of proper dress pants, in cheap crappy shoes to be up in arms about this. I would rather see someone look well put together but wearing headphones than someone with a 4 day old machine washed wrinkled shirt with no headphones.
Too many people want to be treated and paid like a white collar professional but dress like a truck driver. |

Why have a "rather this than that" conversation? If they are both unprofessional, call them both out. Looking sharp doesn't mean you get an excuse to wear headphones or whatever else it is that may come off as unprofessional.

So we can go around in circles all day long about how pilots appear in the public eye. There isn’t a person here who’s perfect, certainly myself included. Shoes, shirts, backpacks, fat guts, whatever... I don’t know many flight offices who require you to report for inspection prior to taking a walk through the terminal. Perfection is not the point of why I initially posted this thread.
This is just me here, but I take a personal responsibility to professionally represent both my airline and profession when I’m in the public eye. People are watching whether you think it or not. So yes, I am judgemental when some fella wants to rock his Bose down the concourse. It looks like you don’t give a 💩. |

Some older planes would make your legs and maybe back go numb or worse. Newer types seem to be much more ergonomic. When I used a seat cushion, it did fit in my flight bag though.

I agree and I do. Sharp uniform, shinny shoes every morning, shaved, and fancy black flight bag. I respect my profession and worked hard to get here. I study a **** ton to stay sharp on the cockpit. And suddenly, ONE day I used my Bose to commute back to my place and suddenly BOOM, I'm an unprofessional pilot that looks like an idiot.

I wear a blue gaming headset when I deadhead cause it has the best sound. Is that ok?
