Glamorous Life Flying Corp

Some people just have too much money and don't know what to do with it all, so they come up with ridiculous rules and procedures. Reminds me of Wayne's World 2 when the British roadie tells the story of how he had to find 1,000 brown M&Ms or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night.
 
nah- the guy has standards that he wants to be met. He wants the employees to look like a catalogue shoot so that if any pictures are taken they look good. He wants to be serviced in a particular manner, just like when youre in a hotel, the toilet paper is folded in a cute trinagle - why not on his 50 milloin dollar jet?

Personally I don't see anything too damning other than the flip flop requirement (I don't personally fly with open toed shoes) and the cologne thing (I hate smelly stuff)

I'm sure the staff is paid okay.....

My favorite comment from below the article:

Can you imagine what it must be like around the house with this insane assclown? Someone's been watching too much Big Bang Theory and has a Sheldon fetish me thinks.

This one is pretty funny:

By the look of his face, I believe that when he gets lonely, he goes to batting cages so that he can enjoy getting smacked in the face with balls

-or-

Maybe he should have come up with a manual for his surgeon.

Both eyes must be able to open all the way simultaneously.

Eyebrows are should not wrap around the eye and must stay at least 1 centimeter about the upper eyelid.
Eyebrows can not be allowed to develop their own consciousness.

Sounds like this is already happening!

Looks like someone missed context in writing the article.
They take care of their staff, as evidenced by Part C of Pg 12. Cellphone seems to be on company dime, as well. I get that there are standards, but, being Part 91, their ball, their rules.
They provide a uniform to the employees, which, just guessing, is at no expense to them, as it is stated "PROVIDED".
The boxer briefs aren't REQUIRED, they're PROVIDED. Is your employer providing your underwear to you? I'm not seeing a morning jock inspection, here. I'm seeing the company providing a uniform, in entirety.

There's more, but what it comes down to is that the Principals of the company expect that the crew provide a top notch service to the passengers of their $50MM jet. They want the image of their company represented in the highest possible light, and have spared no expense to ensure that it happens. And, it seems that they do a reasonably good job taking care of the staff.

Final thought; what does this document have to do with an age discrimination case? Can age discrimination be determined by this document?
 
Document likely was part of discovery. They likely asked for the manual or handbook and that's what they got. Since the record apparently wasn't sealed, it was available to the press and they ran with it.

My employer provides me with a cellphone, not sure what the big deal is there as they expect me to answer it (or the email) at all hours so I wouldn't consider this a benefit.

I also make enough to afford my own underwear... ;) I don't need GE Aviation branding on mine
 
I used to work for Abercrombie & Fitch, maybe they'll hire me on. I don't mind boxer briefs, so long as they are company issued--they're so darn expensive and I'm a broke pilot.

I just read it again, I'd have to answer with "No problem" when asked something?! That's two more words than I said during a typical shift.:eek: I'd have to speak infinitely more than I did.
