Pilot's Ties

[Sisson2011]

Does your company allow you to wear the tie that you want with your pilot's uniform or are you required to stick to only black ties?

You have to abide by your company uniform standards. If you are issued a uniform tie as part of the uniform, you are required to wear the uniform tie. Some airlines make exceptions at Christmas, and let pilots wear holiday-theme ties for the month of December.

One is to follow our company's uniform standards as set forth in our FOM.

It is not too difficult...it says "The tie will be plain black wool, Dacron, wool/Dacron blend, polyester or silk."

And of course, some additional clarifications, as well as Speciality Tie wear dates (Patriotic tie, and Holiday Tie).

One of my goals is to never have to wear a tie.

It is nice to have a job that doesn't require the wearing of a tie.

Gotta wear the company-issued tie (has the company logo, so you can't fake it).

I wore a patriotic tie at a certain freight operator and was told, "This isn't SWA."

Black tie only, however I have a very nice silk one, much better and classier than the usual horrible piece of string issued...

I share your mentality but I don't mind having the clip-on in place from the hotel room door to the before start check.

I like those zip up ties.

I've seen a few Chautauqua guys wearing them too. I almost wanted to point across the terminal and ask if they got on the wrong plane.

Zipper ties have saved my butt a few times haha I can just barely tie a tie, but it looks like crap whenever I do. I have 4 or 5 zipper ties and I love them all

 

[BravoHotel]

I would like a position where I can wear a tie.

So only SWA pilots are proud of their country? Eagle lets you wear patriotic ties anytime as well. Other then that its the company tie if you want some variety. hehe

I would very much like to have a job where I can wear a tie with Zenga or some other expensive suit.

Whatever color I want

I rock my American Flag tie all the time!

When I get my first freight dog gig, I'm going with this one:

I'll be sure to pre-soil it with coffee and 20W50.

Don't forget to draw them upside down, so people know you fly the nine......ty-nine.
