Yea this guy is so right. I wear my full pilot uniform everywhere I go because I don't wanna look like a dolt with pieces of Uniform. I've walked into a bar in full pilot uniform as well to order some food and a beer before it closed. I talk to ALLLLL THE GIRLS :rolleyes:

At least take off the boards and crew badge. I can't believe you compared pilots to cops. We eat at the airport in full uniform, and they eat in their precinct in full uniform. Completely different.

Oh my god!!!!! Well I hope you get them creased before you go to work again... So unprofessional :mad:

I guess your wit is a little too dry for me, I don't get it.

I sense sarcasm, but I just don't want to be mistaken for a freakin' TSA agent! :) Wait, I'm runnin' about 200lbs. low for that anyway, never mind.

Does anyone know if students wear a uniform at AriBen Aviator school during their training? I will attend there after I retire from the Army.
One stripe- PPL
two stripes - Comm
Three stripes - Multi engine

Do I have that right? I am just learning the aviation stuff and studying books to prepare to attend PPL course after returning back to the states this summer.

and those three stripes will then transfer over to the RJ job.

:D if the hood was a battlefield then i earned stripes

I'm not sure about Ari-Ben, but I think most of these schools charge about $10K, per stripe, per shoulder. :) From what I understand $80K or so at Pan Am will get you a CFII, and four cool stripes. Add $2k-$4K per stripe for Riddle pukes....

Just bustin' your balls a little Soldierboy. Don't sweat the unifrom stuff in the civilian world. It's just another way for them to get a few more $ from you. Having to buy a uniform, when you are a paying customer is a joke. Tell them to where to stick it regarding the uniform. I'll bet they're still more than happy to take your money.

Thanks for your service, and good luck in your 2nd career.

I've seen a USAir Airbus capt. wearing around a flannel in place of a blazer with his uniform.



I'm not defending him, he looked like he just came home from a hunting trip. Just saying the regional guys are not the only ones who don't wear the standard attire.

Its rare to even see the Airways guys wearing the hat.....i think ive counted maybe 10 pilots in almost a year who were wearing them

So I start ioe next week and I'm having uniform problems. I've got the shirt and the pants and everything but I don't have a blazer that fits right at all. The shoulders are way too big to the point that it just look ridiculous. Sadly I don't have time to get a new one before I start flying. But I have to wear the blazer, right? Do I have any other options? I feel like I have more to worry about at this point than my uniform but I'm stressing out about nonetheless. I really want to look professional but it just looks like I stole some random man's blazer.
