Why would I want to waste 10 minutes of crew rest running up to the hotel room to change when I'm already starving after 5 legs with no food? Go ahead and take your epaulets and tie and whatever off so you end up in a plain white short-sleeved collared shirt and plain black/navy pants...people will think you're Mormons coming back from a mission.:rolleyes:

thats my story when i go to the bar after work (take off my epiletes and tie and badge), 'ive been selling bibles all day'

Can we plz refocus on the topic:
Regardless of what has happened to wages in the past decade, we must professionally represent ourselves to the flying public. A lay person may see a less professionally dressed crew member and think that's how he/she conducts flying, maybe that pilot takes naps, etc. ...ultimately safety concerns.

I just love it when someone comes up and asks for directions at the airport...I'm usually just as lost as they are! I have also had people come up to me in the lobby of the hotel and ask me to get their bags!

I think its important to look the best we can, whether its on duty in uniform or hanging out with your friends. I don't know about anyone else but it even makes you feel better about yourself.
I wish the airlines in the U.S gave their pilots nicer uniforms, something a little different, maybe higher quality. Most other places in the world have higher uniform standards, and everyone including the Flight Attendants looks better. Regardless of what they fly. Some pilots refer to eachother as nothing more then glorified bus drivers, etc. etc. If we don't respect our selves and what we do (and the way we look reflects that) then how can we expect anyone else to respect us or what we do? The majority don't think that way anyways from what I can tell. Just my .02 :D Wow this thread got long. lol |
