Red tie is a power tie! Comes from the classic navy blue suit/red tie/ white shirt "airline interview" model from back in the day (1960's)... The red tie means power and thats what you want to convey as a pilot applicant. All interviewers will say something to the effect of "we are not hiring FO's, we are hiring CA's". Thats at least how it has been conveyed to me by older airline pilots. FWIW the red tie/black suit/white shirt always looks sharp.

I think the point of it is that you shouldnt wear jeans and flip-flops. They want to see you present a professional appearance. Good Luck!

I had nothing to do with it, it was the tie.
