I think as long as the suits are conservative and something you would be comfortable wearing to a formal gathering, it'll be fine. Don't get too bogged down in the attire. Simple, dark and conservative IMHO. Look like a professional!

You will not blow it over the suit color. Wearing the DAL uniform to the interview can only help it will not hurt if you don't. Many have been hired with out it.

You can get the offer with a charcoal suit. When I got it, they made it plain that I should be dressed similarly for the day 2 events. I recycled the suit/tie with a fresh shirt.

If you think that an interviewer can hire you, you are dreaming...he can recommend that you not be hired however...even that doesn`t mean that you won`t be hired. Having said that, I still wouldn`t show up in anything but a dark suit and dark red tie. One of my Delta classmates (G-66) showed up in a tan sportcoat ( a SAC pilot, don`t you know)...he`s still getting flack for that one.

From another thread:

I was that one guy (1990's - although in a nice Brooks Brothers grey chalk pinstripe, striped shirt etc...) and got hired; as a matter of fact the Captain who interviewed me joked with me about it!

I recently flew with a pilot who does interviews and he categorically stated that the old "blue-suit-red-tie" gouge was total BS, and that as long as you looked sharp and professional it did not matter what colors you wore.

I've just read all of your previous 9 posts and they all say just about the same thing. Care to shed some light on what you do and why you are so bitter?

Just above the regional pilots, that is wrong. You know nothing about the industry if you say that. I bet you are not even a pilot.

Delta pays more than CAL and thats with Delta taking 45%. CAL has not taking anything. Delta gives us health ins. day 1. CAL you don't get it until 6 months. CAL first year around 30, 2nd yr. around 55-60. Delta 1st yr 49, 2nd yr 68-77. Maybe you are getting us mixed up with CAL.

CAL is still better than any regional job, it is a good job. Not trying to bash CAL, just giving the facts. I hope you guys get a great contract.

Sorry I should have not even responded to this loser. This is a good thread and website. No need for this crap. What a waste of time.

CAL guys, no harm, you first year thing sucks, but hey everyone in that rish mag says your the best. Work hard fly right.
