If the boarding music was the Star Wars cantina music Id be ok with it.

It's a new day. Company can pay me to wear clown makeup if that's what they want but that doesn't mean I won't have an opinion about it to vent online. Imo we should have some nice branded polos, black lulu style slacks and a North face style wind breaker for winter option, and yes some acceptable criteria for well trimmed facial hair. In the end it's pilots that are resistant to change in appearance, not flight attendants. That much is made obvious just walking through a terminal in the US.

Ha! I bet there are a lot of folks new to the industry who were hoping to slide into the left seat at a legacy within 5 years of starting flight training. It appears the crazy hiring is over and we are back to merely a good job market.

Fair, I think. A comfy, roomy seat vs. a stick in your junk.

I'll sacrifice comfort for a crappy seat for a B727-100 with -15's, or better. With great handling, and performance.

Whaat he say, ram's horns yoke and all. Don't forget electric tail skid. (Great oral trip-up.)
