No airline that offers a clip-on tie option cares that much about how its pilots look. That guy needs a hobby.

"Yours is clearly on too tight, sir..." and be on your merry way.

Zero tolerance for power-hungry a**holes.

but what would really do? Ckp can and are supposed uphold the FOM, AOM etc. So if you're out of standards and one of them says something what is required on our part?
I just said I'd fix it and kept walking.

i have a really good blank stare that I give people. Makes them think they’re talking to someone as dumb as a cow.

I’d try that first and then flex the plan from there.

Just nod, smile, and say ok. Your life will be better for not getting in an argument about what should just be a minor blip on your day.

I do it all the time with the wife.

that's my philosophy but why are these guys so worked up? I've ran into two of them in January alone. I don't think I go against the standards
