I would do the same but as long as they're nicely dressed and are not going to and from work, it shouldn't be a bid deal.

a gojet guy lecturing another regional CA.....classic:rolleyes:

uhh so which is it? I'm on a power trip or you would do the same thing?

ahhh yes the famous "im a better pilot than you because I am now at a major, even though I don't know your background" argument. :rolleyes: Especially by a guy that if he even is at a major, has been there less than 5 months

Lookie here, I just think it is funny that pilots are deciding what is appropriate or not to wear. There have been many threads on this subject and it is so comical because people get defensive. I am not going to a wedding, I am getting on an airplane. Whoopdy freakin doo! As far as the "Frat Daddy" person goes let them on. They might be a good time. I wear my uniform or RJ Captain approved pants.

well whoop de doo for you. Maybe your lawyer should show up to court and represent you in a t shirt and sweatpants and underwear with skidmarks.
AND it's not just pilots deciding what is proper, it is companys per the FOM and tradition and repect. Same reason we have clothing standards for non reving on company aircraft and interline. Something new know it alls like you know little about.

Don't worry the Lawyer who would win my case could have the %40 of my underwear that is in question of these supposed "Skid Marks". (maybe I should lay off the mexican food).

Theres a time to dress professionally and a time to dress comfortably. Luckily the majority of people in the industry and on this forum don't need mommy to lay their clothes out for them for the proper situation. But obviously 2 or 3 still do.

Can we have a group hug if I promise to wash my hands?

no we are not sure where your hands have been. and get that finger out of your ear......do you know where that finger's been??

To bad TWA is gone, at one time they could have beards....that would really have some of these guys in a tizzy.

What's your beef, GJ is GJ, not TSA. It's our flying with seperate union, contract and good rates. At least we're not forcing mainline out of a job and replacing them with our 70 seaters.

Cue another Hojet thread in 3...2....1...

(And it's not your flying, it's TSA's flying.)

Then why didn't you get it? Sorry, you can't have it both ways.

No, it's mainline's flying.

'Cause mgmt created an alter ego carrier to do it for us when we demanded more money for bigger planes. We tried to raise the bar, and instead, they brought in people willing to sell out their fellow pilots and do it for less.

Honestly, why do you think people dislike gojet pilots? It's not 'cause your planes are shinier than ours. It's because very day you go to work, you're lowering the bar for an entire industry of people who are already vastly undercompensated. But hey, you got to fly shiny jets.

You're right. I'll be the first on board when we give ALL jets to mainline and we all get our mainline seniority numbers (and vastly larger paychecks).

and shinniness wears off, then what are you left with?

In a perfect world, the question of proper dress for the jumpseat would never arise. Everyone would just know and act accordingly rather than try to determine what the limits are.

It is understood that below QUESTION 'crosses the line,' yet hypothetical...

QUESTION:
Could you have a cocktail before jumpseating?

Is a a jumpseater (sitting on flightdeck) considered 'available crew'? Example: in case of working pilot incapacitation or another UA 232?

How about if cabin jumpseating?

No. You cannot drink while jumpseating in the cabin or the cockpit. You are part of the crew and can be asked to assist at any time. Alcohol FAR's apply.

It should never have occurred to anyone that it was even a question.

he just wanted to get the discussion to 10 pages. :)
Plus I'm sure 2 or 3 will chime in saying it's ok to drink before jumpseating...:rolleyes:

Eight inches bottle to throttle. Eight feet for drugs.

Had a guy jumpseat with us the other day. He hops on board, pokes his head in and says, "Hey dudes! Thanks for the ride!" then leaves. The captain and I were so dumbfounded by this that we just stared at each other for a bit before we realized what just happened. The worst part is he works for us. ?!?

I always stick my head into the cockpit and say thanks for the ride, but I introduce myself first and make sure it is indeed ok for me to get a ride. I will, however, occasionally have a drink if I'm in the cabin IF I'm completely out of uniform.

If he works for you maybe he was non-reving?

If you are jumpseating (as opposed to non-rev), then you are PROHIBITED from consuming alcohol for 8 hours prior to the flight.

Being out of uniform will only make you less likely to be abused once you are taken to jail.

Sometimes I smoke a cigar while jumpseating. :D

Good..................

If he works for you, maybe he was nonreving?

We are pretty relaxed about our own guys jumpseating...

To be honest I don't remember now. Long four day. bleh.

Two Reasons
 

I could care less what you look like if you're getting a ride AND there is no way to identify you as a pilot or FA.

I saw it today - flip flops, jeans and carry ons clearly marked "CREW", plus the conversation with the gate agent sealed it.

I see a "CREW" bag and flip flops, that just reeks of unprofessionalism.

Secondly, and more importantly, it's a safety issue. If the plane does go down, you're trained to assist and aid the pax who don't have a clue. You're not going to be able to do a very good job with bloody stumps as the flip-flops get trashed by the strewn metal.

However, the GF of the guy non-revving had the appropriate daisy-dukes attire. :)

Nice Necropost.

Who cares what his bag said... anyone can buy one of those.

If he is non-revving and the airline allows flip flops like Delta does then he has every right to wear them. If you think that is unprofessional then you should take it up with the rule makers; not the rule followers.

I don't think he is obligated to help passengers because he is an employee. Therefore, his footwear would not impede him not helping... if he didn't want to.

I had to look up "necropost" I guess it's a generational thing (I've got 20 years on you). The dudes and the professionals.

No I think you're wrong. Again.

Technological savviness knows no age.

Poor grammar on my part. I am in IT. My comment was meant to relate that the dudes wear the fflops, the pros wear what I consider proper attire. Let's agree to let this thread re-necro.

I disagree.

If you are non-revving you and your airline says you can do something then you should not be looked down on for doing that.

My airline has put out rules about what is appropriate. Therefore, as long as I meet those standards I consider it professionally acceptable.

I see your point. If you adhere to company policy, then you're golden. The public may not know your policy and consider the appearance not so golden.

I've just been handed off to center, so I'll have to pick this conversation up later. Good Day.

For giggles and technospeak, this is the best :YouTube - Rockwell Retro Encabulator

Ahahaha!!....the funniest part is this is a serious video clip! I watched most of it, and am still not sure it's English.

(I could swear I saw a Dan Akroyd skit like this back in the 70's. Either "The Groove Tube" or "Kentucky Fried Movie"...)
