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"...)
