The corporate jets I fly are getting bigger and more expensive, and yet executives dress more casual. Don’t tie your worth to some flair that you wear when clearly business culture (not wokism or anything like that ) has shifted.

Sorry changing the uniform to something similar to a towel boy at a nice hotel gives the appearance that your are more hired help and less in command. The help will always demand and get less compensation than someone being compensated to make command decisions sometimes at the expense of owners.

I see it with my friends that aren’t pilots. They will all name “culture” as a reason they like or stay at their jobs. Attire is a big part of that. I ask them if they would ask for more money if they had to wear a suit and tie to work and they all say yes. I then ask well how much money are you foregoing just for your casual dress code and culture. My neighbor just changed jobs for a 50% raise in compensation. He’s literally thinking about returning to his last job the regain his work from home and casual dress culture. His new job requires he dress somewhat professionally and drive 20min to an office each day.

What do you think the pet Halloween costume contests and whatever other BS HR events are? All culture to make you feel more satisfied because when you’re satisfied you don’t ask for more money

We agree to disagree then

Agreed to a point. I don't think we need to be strapping on a double blazer and hat every trip but do think there needs to be some semblance of professionalism in the job. Where that line is, I don't know, but white sneakers is probably a bit too far lol.
I am very certain that he isn't an "old guy".

By your argument i should be making way more money because i hate pilot culture more everyday i come to work. Where’s my stupid hat?

The pilot uniform is all based on nautical captain/officer uniforms. And they had beards.

After all the years of Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant Pilots complaining about Legacy pilots “looking down their noses”, or otherwise not treating LCC pilots with respect, it’s funny to watch you guys and girls bagging on Avelo Pilots. What’s the problem? Are you angry that they are willing to work for less money? Is that threatening you or your job security? You think they are lesser pilots, even though they fly comparable sized aircraft to you guys. They are pilots too.

Cyio

lol, had that one in the holster ready to go for awhile now haven't ya.

It’s called a joke. They wear flowers and their stripes are funny. It’s like how we also laugh at Delta pilots for the blazer. See, nobody is immune.

Shouldn’t be so easily triggered.

That’s pretty rich coming from a Delta pilot…
