This is one of those things that would have been sorted out during a noob's first month with a line, back when we had hard lines and you flew with the same crew all month.

I notice it more with the new guys and yeah it probly would have been addressed during the hard line days.

I also think it may be more common with people who've never held another professional position. In my pre-aviation 9-5 corporate days, I'd never dream of showing up to the office smelling like an Abercrombie store.

Professional = smell like nothing. New guys please take note.

I almost donned an O2 mask once due to the other pilot's fine taste in colognes and complete lack of a sense of measure. But I also heard that no-one gives a damn on mainline aircraft whether you wear it or not - so which one is it?

If that's true, I'm wearing an entire bottle of axe my first day at UA. Put that theory to the test.

It should be addressed in training. It’s probably in the company uniform standards as well; it is at WN.

Knock off the cologne. And the tuna.

I like to use the art of shaving pre shave oil, shaving cream, and after shave lotion. One time I decided to try it on a trip. I walked by someone in the jet bridge and they said they really liked my cologne. I said I’m not wearing cologne. Then I realized it was my art of shaving stuff. Never used it since on a trip
