At my previous Part 91 gig flying turboprops, we were actually allowed to wear shorts, tennis shoes, and polo shirts (that we later removed once the door was closed) to fly! And we were allowed to have facial hair as long as it was "groomed." Those were the days...

You never know when a tie might come in handy.

If you find a tie uncomfortable, you’re wearing it wrong.

The "adequate O2 seal" is a more of a myth and the AC where the FAA "studied" it is 30 years old. In Europe, beards are common with pilots, and for some reason, they don't have that problem.

If you want to wear polo shirts go work corporate. Everyone complains about the glamor of the job being gone yet the same people continue to want to dress the profession down (literally)

And it’s probably the same people who complain about headphones in the terminal.

You can blame the ****ing match between Delta and the FAA and the precedent it set on that rule never changing in the US.

One airline in the US already went tie less. Not for much longer I assume with a certain merger.

Also, Guam-based United pilots don’t wear ties.

If you wanna wear slacks and a polo to work, Go find a office job. Or go get a clip on tie if your making them so tight. I like my uniform. Chicks dig a guy in uniform, not someone that looks like he just came out of a Silican valley tech office.

I don’t even notice the tie is there once I’ve tied it and put it on
