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.

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.

mooney 09-22-2008 12:46 PM
