Huh? I always thought jeans was not business casual. I always wear khakis and a collared shirt when jumpseating, even if I know I'm going to get a seat in back. So whenever I non-rev, I always throw in a pair of nice pants into my roller bag, just in case. In fact when I got back from Europe yesterday, I slipped into my khakis so I could jumpseat on another airline to get the rest of the way home.

i kicked off a guy in jeans a few weeks ago. Jeans, flip flops and tshirt. looked like he came straight from a frat party. not only because my fom prohibits jeans, but so the pax dont think it is "bring your kid to work" day. it's really no harder to put on a pair of khakis and look professional than it is to put on jeans. grow up.

I've seen an AA gate agent deny an AA pilot jumpseating on AA because his shoes did not meet the requirement. FWIW

relaxing has nothing to do with it. People need to act and dress responsibly. I know all the 300 hour pilot flight schools act like jumpseating is a right, but it is not.

I'm surprised they let him on the jumpseat anyway... Those guys don't get to ride on us, even if they're wearing tuxedos...

This guy works at Gojet!!!???? Why'd I even take the time to respond!!? LOL!!! :rolleyes:

He was furloughed from TSA and signed on at GoJet.

Good moral character if you ask me.

He probably tried to interview at Skywest while wearing jeans!! :D

The shaving rule is interesting because with full faced O2 masks some airlines allow facial hair beyond a mustache. Jet Blue is one of them. Many airlines however have rules in their FOM that bar cockpit access with anything more then a mustache. If you want to make sure you can ride on every airline I would show up shaven.

If you are female, do you have to be COMPLETELY shaven?

I believe it is the captain's responsibility to verify this.
