I say this not to come across as a racist or seem discriminatory, but something that really bothers me with regards to professionalism is the misuse and pronunciation of the English language. I know quite a few pilots, working at the regionals, who I sometimes have had a difficult time communicating with and understanding in just basic conversation. I respect those who are naturalized or legal to work here, but it just doesn't sound good on the radio when you have a guy who cannot be understood or create basic sentences easily.
Same thing goes for those with very heavy backwoods country/hillbilly accents. It's just not professional and makes you sound like you don't really know what you are talking about, even if you do.

If you think this is a problem in your (presumably) domestic flying, don't bid any international and don't work for an airline with multiple nationalities. If you have such aspirations, you need to get over yourself first.

This thread is fun! I love bashing regional pilots! And my life is so much more fulfilled now that I have spent time looking at this thread! And accent bashing has really accentuated this thread!

For someone outside of the industry trying to get in, what do you all use for your luggage? Some are knocking backpacks, but what is acceptable?
Do any of you have personal experience where the "dressing for the job you want" has paid off.
Personally, I always dress nice when in public. I think shoes go the longest way. You can wear sneakers with one polo and khakis outfit, and then put on nice boots with the same outfit, and people would comment that you look dressed up.
Ever since I started taking 15 extra minutes to get myself together in the morning it seems like things started looking up. As crazy as it sounds, and as a former athlete myself, the "look good, feel good, play good" mantra is real.
It seems as if some of the Employers could care less about giving their employees a decent stipend towards their uniforms. Then most complain their uniform is awful, and that takes it back to looking good and feeling good. I wouldn't be surprised if much of it is mental as it is plain lazy.
I don't know what the experience is like for you guys, but I think if I was in your All's position, I'd keep my uniform sharp simply because it takes the mental toughness to do so, but if I have no money to afford it, I guess I'd make due.

At my last name less regional, there is a captain who was in initial with me, never saw her with a tie on, if there was one, it was undone. Grrrrrr, it was difficult for me to bite my tongue. But this was the same captain who wanted the F/A to bring her a coke in IMC '700 AGL on the ILS, stay classy folks.

Just saw an AA pilot wearing headphones through the DFW terminal. And one backpack strap around a shoulder.
Every airline, and corporate flight dept, have douchebags. You better start a thread about mainline slobs

What do you use instead of the backpack? The rolling luggage?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I just want to know your All's opinions on which accessories are acceptable?
